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.

RT @tgrundy1: NEW: Former Premier League players lost millions in investments and say they are victims of “financial abuse” - article from….

Great stuff again. Both playing terrifically and laughing and joking all the while. What a buzz.

Deal OFF as the player (food) had minor problem with medical (fish slightly under seasoned and veg probably should have been used yesterday). Interest remains (ate it anyway) and situation will be monitored going forward (got half a pack of Sports Mix to polish off shortly).

🚨 Just submitted a deal sheet for my tea (put it in the oven) 🚨. Race against time to see if it's finished by 9pm - optimism among senior staff (me) that it'll get done. Now awaiting news before time expires (on the couch shouting mostly wrong answers at University Challenge).

Kick off football season with an offer you're not gonna wanna miss on FanDuel!.

Three amazing ways to win. August feels like April already.

The Venus Williams revival is so much fun. Level is absurdly high, and her and Fernandez make a great team. Hope they go as far as possible.

Last time in Istanbul a pack of about 10 stray dogs followed us on a walk across the city. An alsatian tried to come into a nightclub and the bouncer stepped across it as if to say "not tonight, mate" to a lad in a Hugo Boss polo. Hope they'll join us again for Galatasaray.

"Listen, I'll try and follow which direction the ball is going, but I'm not actually using my wrists because I've got a load of jobs round the house to to do in the morning and not risking a sprain.".

Join millions who have switched to Grok.

Not sure I've ever before watched a shootout where one of the goalkeepers looked, at best, disinterested and nonplussed about the idea of trying to save the opposition penalties.

I love laughing at football. The sheer absurdity of the things that happen. Never seen one funnier than that.

Big fan of the manager's new blueprint for winning the league:. - Build a comfy lead in games.- Get bored.- Create your own problems for no discernible reason.- Throw the lead away and look like losing.- Bring a mad lad on to score a hilarious late winner. Just carry that on.

A nightmare turned into a dream at Morecambe today. The hope and the joy and the tears were marvelous. I spoke to fans and the manager about a day which reaffirmed why football is the best thing about this country.

I'm at Morecambe, who have have just scored a 98th-minute winner on their return to football after pulling together a patchwork squad in the space of five days. People buzzing, stunned, and moved by it all. Great stuff.

Morecambe are now the first professional English club to be owned and managed by Sikhs, and will be watched by diaspora around the world. I spoke to the owners, manager's family, and Sikhs in football about the importance of visible representation.

Lovely to go back this week see some great people so much happier than they were a fortnight ago. Atmosphere on Saturday should be brilliant and well done to the fans, volunteers and staff who've fought hard to make sure it's happening.

Was pushing 40 degrees all week and I'm far sweatier after that final 10 minutes on the Kop than at any point there. What a mad start. Loads of fun.

Make America Fentanyl Free supports President Trump’s efforts to end the fentanyl crisis.

Spent the week in Croatia, taking boats to islands, swimming, eating seafood, fruit and ice cream, and generally marinating in the sunshine. Could probably recall worse places I've been, if I really wracked my brain.

This short BBC World Service podcast covering the changing face of sponsorships features me talking about what the writing on the front of football shirts tells us about money, power, and influence in the 21st century.
