Shanghai E-Prix
Oliver Rowland finished in fifth position with ten points in Race 1 of the Shanghai E-Prix. He finished 13th in the second race. He currently stands on top of the Driver Standings with 171 points.
Sharing a bunch of pictures from the Shanghai E-Prix on Instagram, Oliver Rowland wrote, 'Not my best weekend. Struggled from the off but managed to bring home some decent points on Saturday. Full focus on Jakarta!'
Rowland's fans came out in support of him in the comments section. A fan wrote, 'You'll be back stronger in Jakarta!! Still some good points on Saturday so well done!' Another said, 'You'll be back at the front at the next one, still got important championship points at the last event. Good luck with the rest of the championship.' One more commented, 'With everything in Jakarta, good luck Oli!'
Oliver Rowland's performance in 2025
Oliver Rowland still remains uncatchable on the track with four wins this season, including the latest one at the Tokyo E-Prix.
He also won in Mexico, Jeddah, and Monaco this year. Besides the four wins, he got second podiums in one of the races at the Jeddah double-header, Tokyo double-header, and Monaco double-header.
Rowland recently told Formula E in Tokyo, "My mentality now is to keep attacking, to not really change anything. I'm not going to become conservative, because I've seen many sports over the years, and how pressure, thinking about these things or trying to engineer them too much can actually be a downfall.
I'm going to go out there and race just as I have been from the beginning of the season, and hopefully we can keep the results up.
My current goal is to extend to the point where it makes things quite easy at the end [of the season]."

High Court takes BIG decision on Kohli's RCB teammate Yash Dayal in minor's rape case

Virat Kohli and Yash Dayal. (PIC - X) New Delhi: The Rajasthan High Court has dismissed a stay on the arrest of Virat Kohli's RCB teammate, fast bowler Yash Dayal in the case of the rape of a minor girl. What were the rulings of the High Court? The court held that as the victim is a minor, no interim relief is possible to the accused cricketer against arrest. Justice Sudesh Bansal hearing the case in Jaipur also ordered the case diary and fixed the next hearing on August 22. What did Yash Dayal's attorney say? Yash Dayal's lawyer, Kunal Jaiman, in the course of the hearing contended that the case was a part of a bigger conspiracy to tarnish the image of the cricketer. He contended that the same case of rape had previously been lodged in Ghaziabad, which was stayed by the Allahabad High Court. 'Just seven days after that, another FIR was registered in Jaipur. A gang seems to be involved in blackmailing by filing such cases,' Yash Dayal's lawyer alleged. What is the Jaipur case? But Sanganer police station in-charge Anil Jaiman revealed the Jaipur case details, adding that the complainant, who was a minor at the time of the incident, had met Yash Dayal while watching a cricket match. She then blamed Yash Dayal for sexually assaulting her nearly two years ago on the assurance of assisting her in her cricket career. The police also said Yash Dayal raped the girl for the second time in Sitapura hotel, Jaipur, during the season of IPL 2025 after the girl was invited to the room by Yash Dayal. Since the girl was 17-years-old at the time of the first rape, an FIR was registered under Sections of IPC and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Interestingly, Dayal had earlier created a commotion by claiming to have posted communal content on his Instagram handle two years back. He later clarified that while two contentious reports were posted from his account, but he did not post them from his account.

Aaron Donald, Micah Parsons coming to LA is every Rams fan's dream come true - Here's why

Aaron Donald and Micah Parsons are teasing an iconic pair up in Los Angeles, and the Rams faithful are buzzing over the possibility - their legendary DT coming out of retirement and a potential acquisition of Parsons amid troubled Dallas Cowboys negotiations. The speculation comes as quarterback Matthew Stafford is dealing with a back issue and has received an epidural to assist him. Aaron Donald, and Micah Parsons teased a partnership at Los Angeles Rams(File/AP) Aaron Donald-Micah Parsons speculation This dream scenario gained traction after Donald, the Rams' legendary defensive tackle, hinted on Instagram that he might unretire if Parsons joins the team, sparking a frenzy among fans. 'If @_micahparsons11 go to the rams I might have to call @210ths and get in football shape 😂😂 wit that Dline would be unreal 🤦🏽‍♂️🔥,' Donald commented on a @ramblangman Instagram post. He tagged his agent. With Parsons currently embroiled in a contract dispute and trade request with the Cowboys, recent reports suggest the Rams could be a surprising landing spot. '@aarondonald99 man!!! Dont tell me info like that!! @davidmulugheta,' Parsons replied, tagging Donald and his agent. Aaron Donald's retirement Donald's retirement after the 2023 season left a void in the Rams' defense, where he amassed three Defensive Player of the Year awards and a Super Bowl LVI win. At 34, his physical condition suggests he could still contribute, especially alongside a 26-year-old Parsons, a four-time Pro Bowler with double-digit sacks in each of his four seasons. LA Rams defensive line The Rams' defensive line already features young talents like Jared Verse, Braden Fiske, Kobie Turner, and Byron Young, making a Donald-Parsons duo a potential historic pairing.
