Audi's statement about wanting to be 'the most successful team in F1 history' is just baffling.

Ferrari currently hold that title, and they have amassed 31 world championships and a whopping 836 grand prix podiums across 75 years 👇

So what are Audi on about? 🤔

Lots of new regulation changes coming to F1 this season, but probably the most complicated one comes in the form of the DRS replacement 🤔

Here is an explainer on the new 'overtake mode' and 'active aerodynamics' that you can expect to hear lots about in 2026 👇

We have choices to make.

Do we invest in our communities and people who live across the country?

Or do we provide tax breaks & subsides to billionaires?

The Green Party will always push the right choice.

A Government of cowards.

Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.

They can't get away with this.

The #FPL season is approaching a key time, with plenty of managers considering a wildcard within the next few weeks, and some still wondering quite how they can use all their chips before GW19.

So, to help you on your way, here are some great differential picks for #GW11 and beyond!👇

An England recall for Danny Welbeck?

Unlikely, but the Brighton striker is in great form, and is just 3.2% owned in #fpl.

Could be time to get him in? Oooh, and there are plenty of other differential options for you too in this piece 👇
