The relationship between an F1 driver and race engineer is one of the most intimate in elite sport. How they do build trust? How do they deal with life-and-death pressure? What happens when they fall out?. I met the experts for this @BBCSport long read.

There are immensely talented people working for Liverpool and this is a beautiful thing they have put together. The stewards and staff at Anfield, called in at short notice in awful circumstances, have been so patient, gentle and kind with people too.

There is a 10-minute tribute film to Diogo Jota on BBC iPlayer available to watch now for those who feel able. It includes some interviews we conducted outside Anfield today with very kind people who spoke movingly about a footballer and man they adore.

A really useful resource here for anybody whose children may be experiencing grief for the first time or just finding things difficult.

Tried to convey some thoughts about Diogo Jota after a day at Anfield. We all look for logic in death - feeling able to understand can make it easier. What is truly disturbing is when there is no logic at all. The tragic loss of two young athletes can never make sense.

I'll be on BBC Radio 5 Live at 8:50pm from Anfield to talk about Diogo Jota. A lot of people here still. From Liverpool and beyond. Most just dazed. Tremendously hard for anybody to know what to think, say, or do when somebody in the prime of their life is lost.

The things he gave us to all. He created days and nights we shared with our loved ones and will remember forever. The Thursday night at Arsenal in the League Cup where the whole end was so in love with him - just a total joy. Adored in the city and far beyond. God bless him.

The news about Diogo Jota is just devastating. The pain of it for the family scarcely comprehensible. Footballers mean a lot more to many of us than some ever know. I really think Diogo Jota knew. From Anfield, I've written about the love for him.

Not many showmen out there in any sport like Gaël Monfils. An unbelievable performance to pull that result off. Still full of skill, speed and stamina. So much fun watching him play.

As Katie Boulter told the BBC this week, much of the abuse athletes suffer online is from people who have lost bets. Analysis piece from me here about the relationship between tennis, profit, the gambling industry, women in sport, and abuse 👇.

It would be very hard to plot a political career as embarrassing as hers in a few short years even if you were trying. Relentless scandals followed the Stade de France fiasco. But as is so often the case, those operating in high circles rarely face proportionate consequences.

Widely considered a complete laughing stock in France for the last three years, the former French sports minister Amélie Oudéa-Castéra continues to fall into good jobs, bagging a €9k per month salary as president of the Olympic Committee. Job was done for free by predecessors.

L'ex-ministre Amélie Oudéa-Castera a demandé et obtenu 9000€ par mois pour devenir présidente du Comité national olympique et sportif français, une fonction que de précédents titulaires avaient tenu à exercer gratuitement.

Had these as part of a three-course lunch earlier, in an outdoor restaurant set in the walls of a medieval fortress, for about £18.50. Might be the strongest value for money of anything I've bought in my life.

Doing a bit of train travel and witnessed loads of one of my favourite French pastimes - people getting off the TGV at each stop, absolutely hammering a ciggy in 60 seconds on the platform, and then jumping back on. Also lots of anti-fascist/nationalist stuff around.

I'm in Occitanie for the first time and it's marvellous. Haven't been anywhere on the south coast since I stopped living in Nice. The pace of living is very refreshing. A real magical stretch of the world.

Can scarcely recall a win in any sport more impressive that Alcaraz taking that from three Championship points down. The quality of the forehand, the slice and the drop shot were simply a joke in the final couple of sets. Shrieking and jumping around the boozer. A joy to watch.
