Porsche says it no longer plans to enter Formula 1, the German manufacturer focusing its core racing activities on sportscars and on Formula E.

According to Foot Mercato there was no contract extension meeting between Lyon and young right-winger Rayan Cherki (18) – despite reports suggesting that the player was going to finalise his extension on Monday. The 18-year-old made a good showing against Inter on Saturday night (2-2) – enough to encourage the club to speed up their discussions.  Cherki’s current deal is set to expire at the end of the upcoming season – as Lyon set a deadline for the…

Alpine team boss Otmar Szafnauer says a proposition he submitted to have benign offenses wiped from Pierre Gasly’s superlicence was “opportunistically” rejected by several of the French outfit’s rivals. Last year, during his final campaign with AlphaTauri, Gasly accumulated ten penalty points on his superlicence, which means he’s just two points away from incurring an automatic one-race ban. Based on F1’s 12-month rolling schedule, the Alpine charger’s tally won’t start to expire until May 22,…

In a declaration seemingly aimed at further demoralising their rivals, Red Bull insists that it has not made a massive step in performance over the winter – implying that its current dominance is a reflection of the weakness of other teams. Red Bull has swept the first two races of the season with Max Verstappen winning the season opener in Bahrain ahead of team mate Sergio Perez, and Perez taking the honours in Saudi Arabia…

According to Foot Mercato, AS Monaco are attempting a coup for Napoli defensive midfielder Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa (26) – but it could be difficult to lure away the Cameroonian international who is under contract at the Italian side until June 2026.  The former Marseille man comes off the back of an active season, making 33 appearances and creating two assists from defensive midfield for Napoli, after joining the club on loan from Fulham. He made his move…

Alex Albon rued a terminal brake issue that put an end to his Saudi Arabian Grand Prix after 27 laps, but the Williams charger noted that his mount was the best it’s ever felt last weekend. Albon was disappointed by his P17 performance in qualifying that left him with a heavy task on his hands for race day. But the Anglo-Thai racer progressed nicely during his first stint on the medium tyre, the Williams driver…
