The world of sports is always abuzz with news, and this week is no exception. From the Formula 1 paddock to the NFL, several high-profile athletes are making headlines with contract extensions, team changes, and World Cup aspirations. Here's a round-up of the latest developments.
In the world of Formula 1, former Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has spoken out about his departure from the team. Horner, who left his role in 2025, has denied rumors that Max Verstappen and his camp were responsible for his exit. Speaking to Netflix's Formula 1: Drive to Survive, Horner said that Verstappen's father, Jos, had never been his "biggest fan" and had been outspoken about him in the past. However, Horner insisted that Verstappen and his camp were not behind his departure from the team.
Meanwhile, in the NFL, the Baltimore Ravens are targeting a contract extension for quarterback Lamar Jackson. According to Ravens GM Eric DeCosta, the team is confident about securing a deal with Jackson, who is a key player for the team. The Ravens have also made a "market-setting" proposal to center Tyler Linderbaum, who is expected to be a key player in the team's future.
In soccer, the North London Derby between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur has been making headlines, with referee Craig Pawson's decision to award a goal to Manchester City's Rayan Cherki sparking controversy. The goal was initially given, but later overturned after a VAR review, with Pawson explaining that he had not seen Erling Haaland's foul on Dominik Szoboszlai.
Scotland midfielder Caroline Weir is "more determined than ever" to reach the World Cup after being installed as captain of the national team. Weir, who has been given the armband by new head coach Melissa Andreatta, said that qualifying for the World Cup in Brazil next year is her top priority. Weir has previously stood in as captain during Rachel Corsie's tenure and is now looking to lead the team to success.
Finally, in the NFL, the Las Vegas Raiders are expecting star defensive end Maxx Crosby to stay with the team despite trade speculation. According to Raiders GM John Spytek, the team expects Crosby to play for them in 2026, despite rumors that he may be traded.
These developments are just a few examples of the many stories making headlines in the world of sports. As the seasons progress and the World Cup approaches, we can expect to see many more twists and turns in the careers of these high-profile athletes.
