Oscar Piastri, as everyone knows by now, is not a man of many words. When he binned his McLaren on the very first lap of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, his race engineer asked over the radio “Oscar, are you okay?”; his reply was a calm “Yeah”. Moments later, he was unplugged and out.
What was unusual, though, was that he didn’t head straight to the TV pen afterwards to face the journalists’ questions. Perhaps even the ever-cool Piastri found it a little too embarrassing to have messed up so badly.

Guardiola Tactical Gamble Doesn’t Pay Off Vs Arsenal
Man City’s Defensive Gamble Backfires as Arsenal Strike Late
Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City thought they had outmanoeuvred Arsenal. For 92 minutes, the plan held.

Happy birthday, Fenomeno! Ronaldo Day on Inter TV
Paris, 1998 UEFA Cup Final. A run off the backline, the pitch stretching out ahead of him, Marchegiani trying to stop him. Then the feint, body trembling, a deceiving gesture, the goalkeeper falling to the floor, the ball rolling into the back of the net. He is Fenomeno, he is Ronaldo. It’s a goal like no other: a work of art that is passed on by everyone who has learned it off by heart.
He arrived from Barcelona in the summer of 1997, and Ronaldo was more than your average centre-forward.

Instead, New York stuck with Russ, and the result was a brutal 22-9 loss to the Chiefs in primetime — another season that already feels over for Giants fans.
Wilson launched wild throws, one seemingly aimed at the crossbar in the red zone, others sailing miles from his receivers.
