Ever since Ayrton Senna rode on the side pod of Nigel Mansell’s Williams at Silverstone in 1991, the FIA has made it clear to the drivers that their safety is priority and cannot be compromised at any point in time. History repeated itself when Fernando Alonso gave Webber a lift last Sunday. Derek Warwick, a steward at the Grand Prix and also an ex-F1 driver agreed: “It is not health and safety gone mad....

The word fibula is Latin for “the brooch” and many believe it is named that way because when paired with the tibia anatomically, it forms the safety pin look of an ancient brooch. Stress fractures of the fibula can occur with repetitive stress impact exercises like running. The pain of stress fractures in the fibula is similar to other common running injuries, making it difficult to correctly diagnose. Since it does not bear significant weight, the fibula is often used as a donation site for bone grafts to repair bony structures in other parts of the body....
The Washington Post ran a passage from the draft’s opening chapter on the front page, and Dowd featured it in her Sunday magazine column. It’s not difficult to see why. Gingrich’s last book, ““Window of Opportunity,’’ was a ponderous exercise in techno-babble. This was an unabashed potboiler. A ““pouting sex kitten . . . rolled onto him and somehow was sitting athwart his chest . . . “Tell me or I will make you do terrible things,’ she hissed....

Nowadays there’s no doubt that FIFA sells more and makes more headlines, but is it actually better? Both games represent a solid year-on-year upgrade for FIFA and Pro Evo, but which should you splash your hard-earned cash on? We played both on Xbox One to find out....

“I was nervous returning (Williams’ serve). People talk about her serve so much and I see why it is such a wonderful serve because you just can’t read it,” Federer said. “It was great fun. You see how determined and focused she is, and I love that about her.” Federer and playing partner Belinda Bencic overcame Williams and Frances Tiafoe in the Fast4 format as Switzerland beat the U.S. 2-1 in front of a 14,000 capacity crowd....
The draw for the first grand slam of the year took place on Thursday, where the likes of Federer, Djokovic and Rafael Nadal all learned what their potential path to the trophy would look like. Should Djokovic, a six-time winner at Melbourne Park, beat an as-yet-unknown qualifier, he could face wildcard Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the next match, with Denis Shapovalov a possible third-round opponent and Kei Nishikori potentially awaiting in the last eight....
The 31-year-old made 12 appearances in all competitions last season after joining the Cherries in May 2015 and is ready to take up the challenge of competing against Polish international Artur Boruc for the first-choice goalkeeper’s spot. “I’m delighted to have signed a new contact. The manager (Eddie Howe) played a big part in me signing, the coaching staff and the way we play football are factors too,” Federici told the club website (www....

Fellaini, who has made almost 150 appearances for United since a £27.5 million move from Everton in 2013, insists Mourinho has no problem with his decision to reject a new deal. He is not ruling out signing an extension at Old Trafford, but will not rush into a quick decision regarding his future....
Daytona 24 forms the informal Triple Crown of endurance racing, along with 24 Hours of Le Mans and 12 Hours of Sebring. Phill Hill (1964) was the first driver to achieve the triple crown and Timo Bernhard (2010) the most recent. 10 other drivers, including Jacky Ickx, Al Holbert and Andy Wallace have won it, but no one has done it in a single year. So, you know why it excites double F1 world champion Fernando Alonso who will be entering this year’s Daytona with Wayne Taylor Racing....
Fernando Alonso‘s manager Flavio Briatore has quashed any speculation of the Spaniard being tempted to join Red Bull. Briatore insisted that Alonso’s remarks about wanting a different car was normal for an international player. He said “It’s normal for a racing driver to desire a competitive car and the team must work hard to supply it. End of story.” “Alonso has never said he wants to leave. Ferrari-Alonso remains a winning pairing....
“Sorry Democrats, but Fetterman lost the race tonight,” Andrew Feinberg, a politics reporter for The Independent, tweeted Tuesday night. “He’s in no way able to communicate clearly or effectively, and agreeing to this debate was political malpractice in the first degree. Whoever told him to do is should be finished in electoral politics.” Feinberg noted that while Fetterman suffered a stroke, and that doctors have cleared him to work as a senator should he be elected, the Democrat’s team should have factored in political history, which has proved that “TV performance matters way more than it probably should....
“FIBA has allowed players to wear head coverings in its 3-on-3 competitions unless it presents a direct threat to the safety of players on the court. After evaluation of the rule in 2015, it will be decided whether it will become a permanent rule change post the 2016 Olympics and we are sure that this will happen,” BFI joint secretary Ashok Rangeen said. However, many Sikh organisations feel that this ruling has fallen short of their expectations....
In a statement it released earlier today, FICA has asked for clarity on the economic and scheduling benefits of the four-day Tests, while also adding that four-day cricket is ‘meaningless cricket’ and not something that it would be supportive of. “We continue to follow this issue closely and understand that discussions are taking place at various levels on this,” it read. “From our discussions with players around the world, and our global survey data, it is clear that there is currently a lot of negative sentiment, within the global collective of players, towards such a significant change to the game’s most traditional format....
