Red Bull Loses Appeal against Mercedes' New Steering System

Red Bull has lost an appeal it lodged against the dual assistant steering system unveiled by Formula One rival Mercedes during winter testing in February.

The DAS helps the Mercedes car’s cornering and reduces its tire wear. On-board footage from testing in Spain showed world champion Lewis Hamilton pulling the steering wheel back and forth on the front straight, apparently changing the angle of the front tires.

Other teams were caught cold by the innovation, with Red Bull claiming in its protest that the DAS is both an aerodynamic and a suspension device. But stewards said it was part of the steering system alone and cleared Mercedes late on Friday night following a hearing.

“DAS is part of the steering system, albeit not a conventional one,” the FIA said in a statement. "The key challenges to the legality of the DAS rely on it not being part of the steering system. If this were indeed the case, then it would be breaching (regulations).”

The system will be banned as from 2021 but can be used by Mercedes and other teams this season.

Nottingham Forest has parted ways with head coach Vitor Pereira after a short term tenure ⁠at the City ⁠Ground, The Premier League club ⁠said on Thursday.

The Portuguese, who took over from Sean Dyche in February, guided the struggling ⁠side ⁠to Premier League safety and a run to the Europa League semi-finals.

British media reports have suggested Oliver Glasner is poised to take over at the City Ground following his departure from Premier League rivals Crystal Palace at the end of last season.

"Today marks the end of my journey as head coach of Nottingham Forest," said Pereira in a statement. "I want to say a sincere thank you to everyone connected with this incredible football club.

"Although this decision came as a complete surprise to me and without any warning, I fully respect the club's right to make the decisions it believes are best for its future."

The 57-year-old added: "Naturally, I am disappointed and saddened. I truly believed in what we were building together, and I leave with a sense of pride in everything we achieved over the past months.

"Together, we enjoyed a memorable end to the season. We secured the club's Premier League status, reached the semi-finals of the Europa League, and created moments that will stay with me forever.

"Most importantly, I saw a group of players grow in confidence, belief and togetherness."

Pereira, who thanked his staff, players and fans for their support, insisted he wished the club every success in the future.

"I leave Nottingham Forest with no bitterness or resentment -- only respect, gratitude and wonderful memories."

Former Arsenal and Spain midfielder Santi Cazorla announced his retirement from football on Thursday at the age of 41.

"I never stopped trying. And in the end, I came back. Not to close a chapter but to feel it all again, to remember why I started," he said on X, according to Reuters.

"And now, when the lights go down, when the boots are ⁠hung up and ⁠the noise fades into silence, everything falls into place. Because the ending wasn't just anywhere; it was at home."

Cazorla called time on his 23-year playing career after spending ⁠his final season with his boyhood club Real Oviedo, having helped them earn promotion to LaLiga the previous year and end a 24-year absence from Spain's top flight.

Cazorla earned 81 caps for Spain and was part of the squads that won the European Championship in 2008 and 2012, but missed ⁠their ⁠triumphant 2010 World Cup campaign through injury.

Cazorla made 180 appearances in all competitions for Arsenal in a six-year spell in North London, scoring 29 goals after joining from Malaga in 2012.

He helped Arsenal win back-to-back FA Cups in 2014 and 2015 before injuries forced his departure from the Premier League club in 2018.

Kate, the Princess of Wales, visited Wimbledon on Thursday in her latest public appearance since announcing her cancer was in remission, The Associated Press reported.

As the patron of the All England Club, Kate last year was at Centre Court on consecutive days to present the winners’ trophies to singles champions Iga Swiatek and Jannik Sinner.

In May, the 44-year-old Kate traveled to Italy for a two-day tour focused on early childhood education. The trip was part of what her office called a “fact-finding mission” to explore different approaches to supporting young children and their carers.

The princess, who spent a gap year in Florence when she was younger, spoke a few words of Italian to a group of preschool children, introducing herself as Caterina.

A year ago, Kate offered consoling words to women's runner-up Amanda Anisimova after a 6-0, 6-0 loss to Swiatek.

In 2024, while recovering from cancer, Kate did not attend the women’s final but was on hand for Carlos Alcaraz’s win over Novak Djokovic at the All England Club.
