Sport today swings between commitment, caution and raw emotion. In Formula One, Charles Leclerc has doubled down on Ferrari, signing a new multi-year deal just before Monaco and reinforcing the Scuderia’s long-term future alongside Lewis Hamilton as the team chases a first drivers’ title since 2007. In football, Premier League clubs are being warned that the money flowing in from crypto sponsors may come with serious legal and reputational risks, after the UK’s financial regulator raised concerns over deals involving unauthorised firms. Tennis, meanwhile, offered a stark contrast in mood: world number one Aryna Sabalenka spoke of wanting to “quit tennis” after a stunning French Open quarter-final collapse. And beyond the playing fields, sport’s wider world was shadowed by tragedy and conflict, with a Royal Navy helicopter crash in Devon under investigation and reports from occupied Donetsk of a deadly drone strike hitting a passenger bus.
