F1 May Return to V8 Engines by 2031

The majority of power unit manufacturers appear to support the move toward advanced sustainable fuels combined with a modest amount of electrification. This approach would create a lower-cost, lower-complexity formula for Formula 1.

Cost reduction appears to be a primary motivation for the potential engine regulation change. cricket-ipl.co.za

La ventana de oportunidad de la cantera en pretemporada: Fermín, Cubarsí, Bernal, Casadó...

El FC Barcelona estrena la pretemporada en este verano de 2026 compaginando la ausencia de muchos de sus internacionales que han disputado o aún están disputando el Mundial con la convocatoria de una larga lista de canteranos que trabajarán estos primeros días a las órdenes de Hansi Flick, el técnico alemán que inicia su tercera temporada al frente del equipo azulgrana. El histórico 'ascensor' que une el fútbol formativo con el primer equipo continúa funcionando y el pasado reciente del club lo demuestra. De hecho, el éxito de La Masia ha permitido sostener el nivel competitivo del Barça pese a las limitaciones que, debido al fair play financiero, han existido en las últimas temporadas para acudir al mercado. Hay ventana de oportunidad para los jóvenes, algunos con más papeletas que otros para hacer realidad su sueño, pero todos ellos tienen muchos espejos en los que mirarse: Fermín López, Marc Casadó, Marc Bernal, Pau Cubarsí, Gerard Martín...

The Breakdown | Let gamechangers Jordan, Pollock and Bielle-Biarrey off the leash to grow game

Emerging stars need a leg up from media and marketing teams to ensure they get the recognition they deserve

By any measure it is a remarkable achievement. While many have fantasised about how it might feel to score a try for the All Blacks, no one in history has now lived that dream more frequently than Will Jordan. At the weekend the New Zealand wing took his tally to 50 tries in only 56 appearances, overhauling Doug Howlett’s all-time national men’s record of 49 in 62 Tests.

Perhaps the biggest compliment to pay Jordan is how relatively easy he makes it all look. Where others blow hot and cold, the 28-year-old glides around like a smooth, top-of-the-range sports car.
