The Top Gear host paid a visit to Alpine’s factory Monday and did not come empty-handed
A Top Gear host always pays his Formula 1 debts.
We should explain.
One of the biggest storylines from the Monaco Grand Prix this season — beyond Max Verstappen winning and more heartbreak for hometown hero Charles Leclerc — was the stunning third-place finish from Alpine driver Esteban Ocon.

If Penn State is to continue its success from last season with a run at the national championship in 2023, quarterback Drew Allar is going to have to play up to his billing.

Allar was named Mr. Football in Ohio as a senior in high school after throwing for 4,444 yards and 48 touchdowns with just seven interceptions that year. His highlight tape speaks for itself.
Lesson learned: Don’t go to China with the wrong passport.
Chinese border control detained soccer superstar Lionel Messi over the weekend after a mix-up with his documentation.
Messi flew to Beijing with his “bodyguard” and a number of friends ahead of Argentina’s friendly Thursday with Australia.
But Messi packed his Spanish passport instead of his Argentinian one. And the Spanish passport lacked a valid Chinese visa.
It reportedly took two hours for the 35-year-old footballer to be granted a visa so that he could leave the airport.

ESPN/ABC broadcasting icon Mike Breen, however, has surpassed them all.
Breen will call his landmark 100th Finals game Monday evening when the Nuggets and Heat battle in Game 5 in Colorado. The veteran announcer’s first Finals game came on June 8, 2006, a 90–80 Mavericks win over Miami in Dallas.
Stephen A. Smith has a high-profile target for the Heat should they get sent home in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
On ESPN’s First Take Monday, Smith said the Miami’s top potential acquisition this summer should be Trail Blazers star point guard Damian Lillard, who has been the subject of trade rumors in recent weeks.
“If the Miami Heat got their hands on Damian Lillard and managed to keep Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler along the way, we might be having a different conversation during these NBA Finals,” Smith said.
