When Ferrari unveiled the new F14 T, it was met with no shortage of criticism for its interpretation of the new aerodynamic regulations—a drastically-sloping front end that bears resemblance to a vacuum cleaner.

If you thought Red Bull was in trouble after its disastrous showing in the opening pre-season test of the season in Jerez, then spare a thought for Lotus. The Enstone team was forced to sit out and watch with interest as many of its rivals, barring Red Bull, racked up important miles testing their new power plants for the first time in anger. Lotus’ decision not to run in Jerez was due to a combination...

Since filing his one-time international switch from Iceland to the United States men’s national team this summer, Aron Johannsson has been on fire in front of goal, scoring 20 goals in all competitions for AZ Alkmaar in the 2013-14 campaign thus far.

Roger Federer and Stefan Edberg just feels right. There is everything to like about these two champions. They are generations apart, but they are standards who personify grace and imagination on the tennis court. There’s symmetry in the Federer-Edberg tandem, or “Fedberg” (to use a portmanteau that suggests a fast-moving mountain). They are nostalgia and new age, science and art,...

Though it’s the best team who will inevitably sort the wheat from the chaff, it’s often the case that key individual battles have their say on a match’s result. So true is this of the Six Nations in particular, where Europe’s finest are assembled under the continent’s most hallowed spotlights; the biggest names all competing for that common goal.

The Javier Hernandez saga is over and, as his agent assured last December, he is taking his chances with Manchester United.

There are storylines everywhere you look in Dublin this weekend. Warren Gatland can expect an interesting reception from the crowd at the Aviva Stadium after his decision to drop Brian O’Driscoll from the last test of the Lions series, but that’s not the only Lions-related issue on the agenda. There are players coming face to face all over the field, from whom the Lions coach had to choose...

Brandt Snedeker never has been and never will be Tiger Woods. His golf game will never match that of Woods’ because while Woods powers the ball around the golf course, Snedeker is a much shorter hitter but one of the best putters in the game. He’s been fourth and 12th in putting in 2013 and 2012, respectively. But he’s never been better than 110th in driving distance in his career. And...
