Ronnie O’Sullivan sets new retirement deadline as fresh snooker quit threat made
O’Sullivan confirmed that Peters would be at the Crucible for the World Championships to help the Rocket, who does not want to retire from snooker. The 48-year-old enjoys the lifestyle and travel that comes with being a professional sportsman, but insisted that another year of similar performances would be enough to tempt him into hanging up the cue. “I’ll only retire if I think I’m not playing well enough for long enough, which has been going on a while now,” O’Sullivan added. “That’s obviously something that distresses me enough to think. ‘I don’t want to keep doing that.’ But like I said, if I can learn to live with it. “I don’t have to win, you know, I just likeContinue Reading
Mercedes may sign Sainz but axe him after 12 months in Toto Wolff masterplan
Mercedes are reportedly in talks with Carlos Sainz over a one-plus-one-year contract in a deal that could allow Toto Wolff to part ways with the Spanish racer after just 12 months with the team.

According to a report from RacingNews365, talks are already underway between Sainz and Mercedes representatives with the Silver Arrows courting a one-year deal with the option of extending the Spaniard’s contract for a second year into 2026. No agreement is expected on the proposal before the conclusion of this weekend’sContinue Reading
F1 LIVE as Ferrari warn Lewis Hamilton and Brundle shuts down Verstappen
Fernando Alonso has admitted he spoke to multiple rival F1 teams before signing a new contract to stay at Aston Martin. The Spanish veteran, a two-time world champion, had been tipped to join Red Bull and Mercedes but will see through 2025 and 2026 in an Aston instead.

Chewing gum has been linked to better diets – but it’s no way to improve your health
