  Hamilton  has long since stated his ongoing commitment to  Mercedes , which first backed him when he was 13 years old and also underpinned his F1 debut as engine partner to  McLaren . The seven-time world champion is in the last year of his current deal and is so far yet to announce a contract extension, despite saying a renewal would come as a formality over the recent off-season. But Mercedes motorsport boss Toto Wolff has conceded that it would only be natural for his driver to shop around in the future if the team cannot provide a more competitive car. Hamilton has dismissed this notion, saying he hopes to follow the path of grand prix winner and revered 1955 Mille Miglia victor Moss by staying linked with Mercedes until the “end of days”. When asked about his Mercedes future, 37-year-old Hamilton said: “I feel amazing about it. “I continue to feel very much at home. It’s family. I see myself being with Mercedes till my last days, to be hone...

  Australia   coach Tony Gustavsson has praised his players for using “head and heart” to snap England’s 30-match unbeaten streak but cautioned them to remain humble in the leadup to the Women’s World Cup on home soil. Led by a goal and an assist by captain Sam Kerr, the injury-hit Matildas upset European champions England 2-0 in a friendly in London on Tuesday, drawing rave reviews in Australia’s newspapers. “We had 10 injuries going into this game and there could be a lot of excuses not to perform. But that’s not what this team is about,” Gustavsson told reporters. “The heart that lives in this team – but then combining that heart with head, meaning the discipline and the tactical execution. That combination between head and heart is what makes me really proud.” Australia bounced back from a shock 1-0 loss to Scotland on Friday, with Kerr rested for the team’s first defeat in eight games. Australia defended well against England and the clean sheet was the result of a “very c...

Thomas Tuchel became just the third manager to lose his first Champions League game in charge of Bayern Munich, after Giovanni Trapattoni (September 1994) and Ottmar Hitzfeld (September 1998) You can only imagine how their opponents felt. City have delivered statement Champions League performances under Guardiola before only for it all to end in tears. For all their domestic brilliance, Guardiola’s outstanding work at Etihad Stadium will be judged – rightly or wrongly – through the prism of whether or not he wins Europe’s elite club competition, a crown he claimed twice at Barcelona. City have found a variety of ways to exit the Champions League when it looked to be their year, from defeat in the final against Chelsea in 2021 to when they were hit by football’s version of a bolt of lightning against Real Mad...

Meanwhile, their opponent on the night, Mumbai Indians hasn’t won a single match this season as neither their bowling nor their batting has looked impressive so far. Skipper Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav’s form is also a huge matter of concern as Rohit himself agreed that seniors need to step up now. Delhi’s captain David Warner meanwhile is on a different platform. Even though he is among the top run-scorers and is in the race to win  IPL Orange Cap , the southpaw’s strike rate is a massive concern.
