Team orders have been a part of Formula One since the first world championship was held in 1950. Most teams used them to some degree or another, and not just in the modern, “move aside” manner; in the days when such things were allowed, it wasn’t uncommon for a driver to be asked to give up his car to the team leader.

There’s no place quite like the Italian Open. As the most prestigious clay tournament on the road to the French Open, it serves as both a key strategic fortress and a marvel of architectural design. As the top men and women in the world slide around on Rome’s notoriously slow red dirt, they’ll be surrounded by marble statues of ancient athletes that loom larger than life. But there’s...

May 2005 was the last time Rafael Nadal was not in the top five of the ATP rankings. That is no longer the case after the 14-time Grand Slam winner lost to Andy Murray in the finals of the Madrid Masters on Sunday, per the Associated Press. Nadal is seventh in the latest rankings, which is exactly where he was the last time he was looking up at the top five. Novak Djokovic is the world’s...

Lewis Hamilton is the reigning Formula One world champion, so conventional wisdom would suggest that the Englishman is unfazed by most competitive situations. However, when the lifelong Arsenal fan was presented with the opportunity to play in a five-a-side match with a handful of Arsenal legends, even Hamilton was giddy at the prospect. Hamilton, donning a retro Arsenal shirt, joined...
