The 1980 champion, dead at 80, gave Williams its first title as a blunt, self-reliant racer. His story is a quiet indictment of how polished modern F1 has become.
The heaviest Champions League defeat ever for a French club says less about one bad night in Bollaert and more about a Ligue 1 that lives off PSG's shadow.
A 4-1 loss, a bench of two goalkeepers and kids, and a spat between teammates: firing Allegri would feel good, but it would not fix a roster this thin for Europe.
Putting Rafael Câmara in the car at Interlagos makes sense on merit and on story. Refusing to explain why Esteban Ocon was removed is the part that should worry people.
Sporting dropped a double-winning coach months after renewing him and is set to pick a résumé over continuity. A French headline hints at what that could cost.
A 45-point, 15-rebound, five-steal night against Toronto is a joy to watch and a warning: the Lakers' ceiling and their risk now share the same name.
Lassine Sinayoko leads Ligue 1 in goals for Paris FC after a career-best year at Auxerre, and we ask whether the big clubs missed him and whether Paris FC can keep him.
Hamilton and Leclerc cost Ferrari a win in Mexico, and Vasseur's public "lack of respect" line comes after the fact. What the team needs is clear rules before the lights go out.

Ferrari had the pole in Mexico, then lost the plot on lap one. Hamilton's anger at the stewards was misdirected, but his demand for "serious talks" is the right one.
At 20, Kimi Antonelli is a few points from becoming F1's youngest champion. Brilliant, yes, but the way it's happening should make us ask harder questions about Mercedes and the sport.
CCTV has shown no LaLiga games since the Mbappé meme row. The league's China strategy rests on a relationship that one interview can switch off, and it needs a Plan B.
CCTV has gone dark on LaLiga after Mbappé's Mao remark, and the lesson is bigger than one player: a league can't build its growth plan on one market's goodwill.
