Offaly's Alex Dunne to make history in F1 practice
Offaly's Alex Dunne is set to make history today when he takes to the track in a practice session for the Austrian Grand Prix later today. McLaren confirmed on Monday that the 19-year-old will compete in the opening practice session for the Austrian Grand Prix, in place of Lando Norris. The Offaly driver has attracted plenty of attention so far in Formula 2 and leads the standings with two victories to his name. He has been part of McLaren's Driver Development Programme since last year. Dunne has already had the opportunity to test drive an older McLaren F1 car, doing so at Zandvoort last month but today at the Red Bull Ring will mark his first opportunity to drive the MCL39 during a grand prix weekend. Under the rules for 2025, Formula 1 teams are required to field young drivers in free practice twice during the year, increasing from one in previous seasons. In today's hour-long FP1 session, which will start at 12.30pm Irish time, Dunne will sit in for McLaren driver Lando Norris, who is second in the Formula One drivers' standings behind team-mate Oscar Piastri after the duo collided in Canada in the last round. Motorsport Ireland has described it as "a very proud moment, for not only Alex and his family, but everyone involved in Irish motorsport". "The fact that Alex is getting this opportunity despite being only 19 years of age, speaks volumes about his talent and how he his viewed by McLaren," it said. "He is within touching distance of the pinnacle of the sport and no doubt this free practice session will spur Alex on to even greater heights in Formula 2, where he currently leads the Championship." Alex Dunne is the youngest driver to win the Motorsport Ireland Young Racing Driver of the Year award which he won in 2021. He is also the youngest winner of the Manley Memorial Trophy for Irish International Driver of the Year which has won in 2022 and 2024.

Katie Taylor - It's a pity that Croke Park fight never happened
Katie Taylor admits that it is a shame that she will likely never get to fight at Croke Park. The boxing legend made her grand return to fighting on home soil in 2023 when she twice faced off with Chantelle Cameron in a pair of historic fights at the 3Arena in Dublin. In the aftermath of that second bout with Cameron, promoter Eddie Hearn insisted that the time was right for Taylor to head to GAA HQ and fight at Ireland's most famous stadium. "I'll tell you something now for everybody out there and the Irish government, Croke Park has to happen. It has to happen. She has done everything for this sport and everything for this country. She deserves it more than anyone. Next Spring or Summer we will create a main event you will never forget,' said Hearn in the ring following Taylor's decision win over Cameron. Alas, such a night has yet to come to fruition. While Hearn has taken aim at the GAA for the cost of renting Croke Park for such an event, there no longer seems to be the desire from any party to make such an event happen. The Bray Bomber will return to New York City in a few short weeks when she takes on Amanda Serrano in their trilogy bout at the World's Most Famous Arena. And while that is a hell of a consolation, Taylor can't hide her disappointment that she wasn't able to bring boxing back to Croker. 'I wouldn't say I'm frustrated about it at this stage.I love Madison Square Garden. I think it's obviously one of the most epic and iconic arenas out there. 'It would have been special to be able to fight in Croke Park, but there's nothing I can do about that. 'Those things are out of my control, so I don't let those things frustrate me. 'I can't let those things frustrate me or get in on me. 'It's a pity it hasn't happened, but I'm very, very excited to be fighting at MSG again.'

Katie Taylor on Amanda Serrano trilogy and making history in New York City
When Katie Taylor steps into the ring in a fortnight to take on Amanda Serrano for a third time, she will do so safe in the knowledge that her legacy as a legend of the sport has long been secured. A true pioneer of the sport, the Irishwoman has literally seen the sport grow from being borderline banned in most parts of the world, to an Olympic sport, all the way to it being a gigantic industry worth hundreds of millions of dollars. So after decades in boxing, it seems fitting that perhaps her final night in the sport will also be one of the biggest in her career as she looks to end her trilogy with all-time great Serrano 3-0. The Bray Bomber will be 39-years-old when she fights at Madison Square Garden on July 11th, headlining an historic all-female fight-card that will be streamed on Netflix to millions of people around the globe. Rumours have swirled suggesting that the 2012 Olympic Champion is planning on hanging up her gloves regardless of July's result, but as she spoke to assembled members of the Irish media this month, Taylor insisted that she loves the grind now as much as she ever has. 'I always tend to enjoy my training camps, and that's one of the reasons that I've been able to keep going for so long as well,' says the defending Undisputed light-welterweight champion. 'I love the progress of the training camp and just to get your mindset right, the ups and downs of the training camp, but I love all that, the preparing for battle, preparing for fights, and I've always been that way. 'I love the fact that I get to do something I love every single day. 'And even though sometimes I wake up and I'm not in the mood for training, I'm still so grateful to be in this position and, and I think that that's that's definitely one of the reasons why I've been able to stay at the top for so long - because of this passion I have that I have for my sport.' For the past few years, fans and pundits have been looking for signs of age catching up to Taylor. And while there were hints that she wasn't the same fighter she used to be in her first win over Delfine Persoon and loss to Chantelle Cameron, she turned back the clock last November to deliver arguably her finest moment in boxing as she fought tooth and nail with the brawler Serrano on her way to victory in front of a gigantic crowd at AT&T Stadium in Dallas. 'I think that was definitely one of my best performances. I love the fact that I was able to push her back and outfight her. 'I think the first fight I outboxed her, the second fight, I actually outfought her. 'I actually recently looked back on that fight and, if you turn the commentary off, it's actually a very, very clear win for me. I won the second fight a lot more convincingly I think than the first fight. 'There was no controversy there whatsoever. I think obviously the commentary makes it controversial, but I was very, very happy with that performance, but there's still more I can do as well, which is very positive for me. 'It was a great performance, but I feel like I still haven't shown my best, and that for me is very, very exciting.' The controversy in question refers to the numerous head clashes that took place during the bout. Both Taylor and Serrano collided heads on numerous occasions, with one exchange causing a huge gash on the head of the Puerto Rican. Taylor was even deducted a point after one of those clashes, but even with that deduction, she still picked up a deserved unanimous decision win. Serrano's camp were left fuming at the judges scorecards and have essentially declared victory for themselves in the months following the contest. Taylor pays little attention to what she dubs the 'whining and complaining' of Team Serrano, though the point deduction and suggestion that she used her head intentionally still irks her. 'That was a ridiculous point deduction for sure, and it's amazing how the judges unanimously had (the win) for me, even with the point deduction. 'All the complaining about the headbutts, that's what happens a lot of times when a southpaw fights an orthodox fighter, you just clash heads, and her head hit my head as well. 'I also got a cut from was actually uncomfortable for me as well, but it wasn't anything that I could stop, but just we both came together, we clashed heads and to get a point deduction…there was no head clash during that moment. 'It was a ridiculous point deduction, but I can look back and smile now because I came out as a winner regardless.' But do those complaints from camp Serrano motivate Taylor even more? 'Not really.I really couldn't care less about what the other team is saying to be quite honest. Regardless of what you say, I am still 2-0 here. 'I just want to be involved in the biggest fights possible, and after the last fight, I knew that myself and Serrano was still the biggest fight out there. 'People were talking about it, people were interested in seeing a third fight, and because of that, I wanted to step back in there again. 'I don't need this fight, she does. 'I just want to be involved in these big fights and to have a chance to be a part of an all-female card in Madison Square Garden again, live on Netflix, this is a one in a million kind of opportunity. 'I feel very, very privileged and blessed to be in this position, really.'
