F1 Today | Bahrain GP timing mix-up cleared up as Hamilton welcomes new dog

Image
With the confusion over Sepang's supposed night race now cleared up and Lewis Hamilton turning the page after Roscoe's passing by welcoming a new puppy, here's a look at the biggest Formula 1 stories from today. Bahrain GP night race misunderstanding cleared up Malaysia's return to the Formula 1 calendar briefly caused confusion after the Formula 1 app mistakenly listed the Sakhir Grand Prix as a night race, showing an 8pm to 10pm local time slot. The information quickly spread online, even though Sepang has never hosted a race under floodlights and does not have the permanent lighting system needed to stage a night event. GPblog can confirm the schedule displayed in the app was simply the result of an error, with local organisers later confirming the race will instead take place during the afternoon. The Sakhir Grand Prix was recently reassigned to Sepang after its original April date was postponed because of the conflict in the Middle East. The event will bring Formu...

The Tennessee Titans' offense can expect a rough camp vs. this defense | Estes

Image
A sunny July 30 practice made two this preseason for the Tennessee Titans . Let’s get to it, shall we? The offense is clearly behind the defense I suppose it should be expected this early in training camp to see the defense getting the better of practices, and that’s been the case through two days for the Titans . Offensive units haven’t been shut out necessarily, but very little is looking easy in the passing game – except for screen passes (and we’ll get back to that). Completions down the field have usually beaten tight coverage, and all the quarterbacks have been routinely rushed and flustered in the pocket (more on that later, too). Perhaps related: None of the team’s top three quarterbacks have been consistently effective. Mitch Trubisky (much like Will Levis the day before ) had a rough practice on Day 2 with the No. 2 offense, looking that of a QB who’d missed the previous practice. As for Cam Ward, there’s been some good. Shout out to Elic Ayomanor on that. The receiver’s conn...

49ers rookie WR just became one of SF's most important players

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall is still dealing with the lingering effects of a knee injury that originally sidelined him in Week 4 last season. He was absent from Wednesday's practice and could be out for an extended period. That thrusts rookie second-round pick De'Zhaun Stribling firmly into the spotlight. The early returns on Stribling were strong at training camp while the team went through its non-padded practices. Despite making a good early impression the plan never appeared to be for the No. 33 overall pick to have an outsized role in his first year. With Mike Evans and Pearsall ahead of him on the depth chart, the question with Stribling was whether he could nail down the WR3 job and take a majority of the snaps in three WR sets. Now that expectation changes for as long as Pearsall is out. There's no word yet on the exact timeline for Pearsall's return, but it's hard to be optimistic when reporting around the injury indicates the team is...

Pirlo out of Italy football top job after backlash over Russian betting firm links

Image
Andrea Pirlo is currently the head coach of the UAE's Dubai United [Getty Images] Andrea Pirlo has said he is no longer a candidate to coach the Italian national side following days of controversy over his ties to a Russian betting company. His appointment as Italy's next head coach had not been confirmed by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) yet was being treated as all but certain. But over the weekend several Italian politicians criticised the FIGC's choice, noting that Pirlo, 47, had taken up a role as global ambassador for Russia's Fonbet last October. Hours later, Italian football was plunged further into crisis as it was reported by Sky Sport Italia that two other senior figures in the FIGC, Paolo Maldini and Leonardo, had decided to resign. Maldini was appointed FIGC technical director just over two weeks ago. He and ex-Brazilian international Leonardo, his adviser and former AC Milan teammate, had been tasked with finding a new head coach and rebuilding the...
