Daniel Ricciardo is set for a crucial test at Silverstone, but is his return to the grid set in stone?
Tuesday at Silverstone, Daniel Ricciardo will climb into the cockpit of Red Bull’s RB19 for the first time, to partake in a two-day tyre test for Pirelli. Over the past few weeks, as speculation has grown over a return to the grid, many Red Bull decision makers, such as Christian Horner and Dr. Helmut Marko, have pointed to this test as a stepping stone for a return to the grid.
With the NBA increasingly likely to give consideration to its first expansion in two decades in the near future, a pair of major cities are expected to be at the front of the line.
Per commissioner Adam Silver, Las Vegas and Seattle will be among markets explored if the league decides to grow upon the completion of its next media rights deal.

Before he was a standout for the Orioles, Adley Rutschman was a freshman kicker at Oregon State
Before he won the hearts of fans in the 2023 Home Run Derby, before he was a standout catcher for the Baltimore Orioles, and before he was the Men’s College World Series Most Outstanding Player for Oregon State in the 2018 MCWS, Adley Rutschman was a freshman kicker for the Beavers’ football team.
Having converted on a 63-yard field goal for his high school team as a senior, Rutschman was used as a kickoff specialist by Oregon State as a freshman.
DeAndre Jordan was in attendance for the 2023 NBA Summer League, joining many of his Nuggets teammates to watch their younger players. The veteran big man spoke to Altitude Now reporter Katy Winge about both the young team and discussed one of Jordan’s close friends from last year’s team in Jeff Green.
While Green left in free agency, joining the Rockets, Jordan was asked by Winge what he’s going to do without his former teammate, and the center was quick to troll the former Nugget.
“I’ll actually probably be more productive and get a lot of things done.
ESPN NBA analyst Kendrick Perkins says that there’s no dispute that the Lakers won the offseason.
In fact, Perkins believes no other team has come close to having the offseason that Los Angeles has had. However, Perkins thinks there’s a bit more work to do to finish the job, including filling out the depth in the frontcourt, and he has just the candidate to do it: Dwight Howard.
“Absolutely, they killed it. A+ it,” Perkins said on NBA Today when describing the offseason for the Lakers.
There’s a three-peat on the line.
When the 2023 Women’s World Cup kicks off July 20, the U.S. women’s national team is the heavy favorite as it looks for its third straight title and fifth total. Having to navigate injuries and retirements of numerous star players, coach Vlakto Andonovski has experimented with the roster quite a bit in the last couple of years. After evaluating recent camps and keeping an eye on players succeeding with their club teams, Andonovski has put together a roster with a healthy mix of up-and-comers and USWNT mainstays.
At least one Pelicans player appears to have had about enough of the Zion Williamson slander. While there have been many positive things said about the 23-year-old forward in the media recently, one comment seemed to be a breaking point for fellow New Orleans forward Larry Nance.
Following a reported comment by FS1’s Ric Bucher in which the analyst reported he has been told Zion has “shown no interest” in developing a floater, up-and-under layup, or pull-up jumper from the elbow, Nance stepped in and was quick to unload on this report.
