The other question is more long-term – what type of engine should we introduce when The contracts that bind F1, the commercial rights holder, and the FIA He is using this threat to push the change forward to 2030. He says that the change is taking place, but consultation is necessary. Ben Sulayem said to Car and Driver that he wanted V8s because The 2013 2.4-litre V8s weighed 130kg including the small kinetic The internal combustion engines weighed only 95kg.However in 2026 F1 cars In 2013, this number was 160kg. This would mean that the total weight of an F1 car at race-start in 2013 This number would be 55kg lighter at the end of the race and in qualifying. The There is only anecdotal data which is not conclusive. It’s possible that the majority of fans would prefer louder engines. But without conclusive research, it’s just a guessing game – and one in which F1 risks, not for the first time, taking a wrong step because it failed to undertake rigorous analysis.The fans and corporate guests who have come to the sport in the past 12 years have no conception what it is like to attend a race where they cannot hold a conversation while the cars are on track, and have to wear ear protection.And after more than a decade and a half of quieter engines, significantly louder ones would threaten the existence of some of the races that are held in city centres – especially the ones in Miami, where F1 had to give guarantees about noise levels to land the race, Las Vegas, Singapore and even, sources say, Monaco.These are some of the most important races to F1 on a commercial basis on the calendar.Ben Sulayem addressed this issue by acknowledging that under his proposals an engine would need to rev high to produce the necessary power, but that because there was a risk that the noise that created would be “annoying to young kids”, engine speeds could not be more than 15,500-16,000rpm.There has been talk that mufflers could be used if the engines were considered too loud, despite the obvious logical inconsistency of that as an approach.What do key people think?In general, the manufacturers seem not opposed to the idea of changing the engines, nor to the principle of switching to a V8.This is important, because Ben Sulayem was outflanked by the manufacturers when he last tried switching to a naturally aspirated engine, a V10, a little over a year ago. The manufacturers seem to be in agreement that the cost of developing the new engines must be reduced We might look ridiculous in 2030 or 2031 if we switch to 100% combustion. We need to think about that, simplify it and make it better. In a BBC Sport statement, Honda said that a return to the V8 engine Some insiders claim that he would actually prefer 5%, or even zero electric This is due to the increased electrification. If you remove it, all the levers F1 uses to maintain this style of racing Some say that a figure of around 30% electrical power would be a more realistic compromise Honda said that it was a priority for them. “A turbo engine not only is arguably more road relevant, but it is also more It’s also quieter. While initial discussions are underway, the real conversation can only What information will we gather from this quiz? What about next year? The drivers’ main The need for energy management has prevented drivers being at the limit as they used to be in The easiest solution is to increase fuel-flow limits, but this would require engine design changes This would require larger fuel tanks. The solution would be a cost cap allowance to modify the chassis in order to accept larger Or F1 could just fix qualifying and leave the races the way they are, in terms

They have called up Emilio Gay and James Rew for their first Test since England’s dismal Ashe Leg-spinner Ahmed may play in his first home Test. England has also confirmed Marcus North’s appointment as the new national selection. Durham’s director of cricket, Marcus North, replaces Luke Wright who stepped down from the selection panel after the Ashes for personal reasons. He is the first foreigner in England’s history to be in charge of the selection panel. He was once considered the new-ball successor to Anderson and Broad. But he fell out and was dropped after the tour of India two years ago. England’s ‘feckless reckless and legless in Ashes’13 AprilThe 92mph England bowler ready for a new beginning after a difficult debut30 AprilFew would doubt Robinson’s pedigree and competitiveness as one of the premier seamers of the country. He was contacted by England at Robinson has led Sussex to three wins in five matches. He took 17 wickets, and scored an impressive century, against Surrey. Baker, Gus Atkinson and Matthew Fisher, both 23 years old, are also included in the pace-bowling squad. Jofra Archer is at the Indian Premier League and will not be ready until the Brydon Carse, who is recovering from a fractured wrist, is not available until the second Test. Jofra Archer is in the Indian Premier League. He was selected after a good start to the season for Hampshire. Crawley’s absence had been inevitable. Crawley’s 104 Test innings with an average of less than 30.52 was the most opportunities ever given to an opener at the top of order. Gay would appear to be the frontrunner to open alongside Ben Duckett after impressing in three T20s at Durham at the start of the season. Rew has also declined an offer from West Indies. Despite his youth, Rew has already scored 12 first-class hundred. England asked him to open the Somerset innings, even though he is more comfortable in the middle of the order. England held a review following the Ashes, which was marred by poor performances and problems off the field. The director of cricket Rob Key, coach McCullum, and captain Stokes kept their jobs. The squad will gather for a training at Loughborough, a week before the first Test.

ByJo Currie and Daniel Austin, BBC Sport senior journalists6 hours agoThis post contains discussion about suicide. “A cheeky chappie – the Del Boy in football. Matt is believed to have committed suicide, although an inquest has not yet been concluded. Tributes poured in from players he had coached, rivals his teams had faced along the way, and fans who were charmed by his playful, down-to-earth persona. Matt is believed to be the victim of suicide, but an inquest has not yet been completed. Tributes poured from players he coached, rivals he faced and fans who were charmed with his playful, down to earth persona. Managers shouldn’t need to ask for help. Debbie describes Matt’s death as “just normal”. He had taken the family dog on a long walk the day before. “We never would have predicted that – not even in a million lifetimes.” I wish he would have said, “I’m struggling”. “Debbie knew that her husband had faced emotional difficulties before, including after the death of his dad in 2022, but said he would continue working and behave as usual. She feels Matt’s passing should be a catalyst for a change in how mental health is monitored by football managers. Debbie says, “I’d like to see a shift – proper mental health tests for managers.” “They are under such high stakes pressure, it should be a part of regular monitoring.” “There should be designated safe spaces where managers can go to talk with someone and unload. No questions asked, it should be mandatory for someone to check in with them once a week. “There’s a lot of emphasis on strength and fitness in football but they are the ones who have to speak up for mental health, which is not right. The League Managers’ Association runs a range of initiatives to help football managers manage their mental health. These include confidential counselling with psychiatrists, access to health insurance, and mental education workshops. “We will continue to work with the game, its stakeholders and to address mental illness in a more collaborative and unified way. “Image source, Beard Family’Managers never look after themselves’Matt managed West Ham to the 2019 FA Cup Final. He also managed Millwall, Chelsea, Boston Breakers and other teams in the USA. Mark told BBC Sport that he wished Matt knew how much he loved him in his final moments. He probably thought the world was against he, but it was not. “He sent me text that night, saying: ‘I Love more than you’ll Ever Know, Mate.’ I replied with ‘I love more-r’. I stayed up all night singing Millwall songs to him. All the family members were able to say goodbye. “Image source, Beard familyMark recalls his brother as a leader who was deeply connected to his players and whose loving personality reflected his leadership at home. Mark says, “He always had love for the players.” “That’s what makes Matt different from other managers. “Whatever his tactics, his teams were exciting to watch. And the girls would give their all for him. “As a coach, you are responsible for all the staff, and about 20 players. You never have time to take care of yourself. “We all think we are superhuman but deep down you know when you are struggling. I hope there isn’t another death. “‘Matt was averse to bad news’Matt’s family claim that he struggled to emotionally disconnect from football and that negative comments made on social media began to affect his mental health. According to Debbie, he found it difficult to break bad news to players regarding their place in the team or future plans. “Matt felt bad about letting someone down,” she says. “There were tears, shouts, and sometimes negative comments from the players’ families and fans. “He would make decisions with other staff members, but because he was the one who had to deliver the bad news, all the emotional burden fell on him. “Matt loved to be there for everyone and he hated to let people down. He was always looking out for others, but not himself. Matt’s family claim he was not happy with how the club was run. Burnley reportedly turned down a bid from Leicester City to buy out Matt’s remaining contract. According to BBC Sport, Matt resigned and the move to Leicester never happened. Matt resigned but the move to Leicester did not happen. Burnley placed Matt on gardening leaves, which meant he could not work or speak to other clubs for three months. Debbie claimed that Burnley “bullied Matt” in a pre-inquest hearing review last week. The inquest has been adjourned until further notice. Burnley stated that they are “aware of a legal process in progress and will not make any comments at this time”. Debbie believes Matt’s mental state deteriorated during the time he was unable work. Debbie says that Matt was not allowed to say goodbye to the players he coached or explain why he had left. “That had an enormous impact on him. “He was having a hard time, [worrying] about how he could provide for his family. I had to work three jobs to make ends meet. “I think he was feeling like a failure. “Image source, Beard Family’There should more love for managers. Harry recalls that Matt was always singing and cooking in the kitchen. He also made roast dinners. “It’s only when something happens, that all of this love comes out. But it should have happened way before.” You don’t see people congratulating managers for a win. It’s ridiculous, because when they lose, they are beaten online. There should be more love out there for managers. “If you are affected by any of the issues raised in this story, support and advice is available via BBC Action Line.Related topicsWomen’s FootballFootballWomen’s Super League
