Drivers 'too nice' when asked about Monaco changes
Will wing change make a difference?
F1 introduces stiffer tests on front wing flexibility at this weekend's Spanish Grand Prix, aimed at preventing teams deliberately exploiting wing flex to enhance aerodynamics.Flexing front wings helps teams balance the cars between high speed and low-speed corners and Red Bull have been hoping these could hamper McLaren.But McLaren driver Lando Norris, who won in Monaco on Sunday, said his team were not worried about them."No, not at all," Norris said. There are little tweaks here and there but nothing that will change how we have to do anything."Oscar Piastri added: "I've not run the front wing, but Lando's already run the front wing before this year, so we're confident. "That's not our magic bullet. We don't have a magic bullet, but that's not our main strength."Norris trails his team-mate Piastri by three points in the championship and Red Bull driver Max Verstappen is a further 22 adrift.Verstappen said of the wing changes: "More has to happen for our side to have proper success. All will be a little impacted, some a little more than others, but it is not going to change the world."

Identical twins Adrian and Łukasz Kolman from Newport have always had similar interests - taking the same A-level subjects and studying together for they are both waiting for results in maths, further maths, computer science and exams were "stressful", according to Adrian. "We were studying the same things so at least we had each other to help out on what we didn't know and what we didn't understand sometimes."Ahead of results Łukasz said he felt "nervous but also kind of excited". "I'm really looking forward to seeing what I get but also I need to make sure that I have the results I need for my university," he have been offered places to study electronics and electrical engineering - Adrian at Bristol University and Łukasz a short distance away at Bath University."We spend a lot of time together since we've shared the same room for all our lives pretty much. It's nice to go out there and be a bit more individual," said Łukasz. Some BTec students will also get confirmation of their final results - though some have already been published, depending on the Gape, 19, from Cardiff, already has a clear idea of how she has done in her art and design BTec, and has secured a place to study performance design at the Royal Welsh College of Music and said she enjoyed studying the more practical, coursework-based qualification."I've really thrived with being able to do a BTec and it's let me explore things that I don't think I would have if I'd stayed on in school," Ngaire is now looking forward to her degree which will include working on set costumes, props and puppetry. After disruption to exams due to Covid, lasting until 2024 when all extra support measures were dropped, Qualifications Wales kept a "safety net" when setting grade boundaries if performance in a subject was far lower than pre-pandemic year, that has been removed and grade boundaries in some subjects are likely to be exams watchdog has said "outcomes should be broadly similar" to those before the pandemic, if performance continues to improve after the disruption caused by Covid. The head of Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (Ucas) has said a record number of 18-year-olds are likely to get in to their first choice of university this year, even if they narrowly miss their Jo Saxton said universities were keen to enrol UK undergraduates because there was more "uncertainty" around international student clearing process, offering places on courses which still have space, is also available for students who do not get their grades or who change their latest Ucas data said 32.5% of Welsh 18-year-olds had applied to university by the end of June, compared to 41.2% across the UK.

It's going really well," he said. Lawrence Coleman, 20, said there had already been "a few stressful moments" in his career so far."This wasn't actually my first option... but I came through and ended up signing up in college. You've got to have an open mind to it all."Careers Wales said there were plenty of options available to young people who may be unsure about what to do Catrin Owen said alternatives to university were to "take a break, go into work or you can look at things like apprenticeships". She added: "We are seeing more higher level apprenticeships now - degree-level apprenticeships, which are great options for some young people."It's really important that you sit down with a professional who can go through everything with you to make sure you're making the best decision that suits you."

Chelsea legend John Terry gives up dream of becoming a manager and is ‘baffled' at some people getting top jobs
CHELSEA icon John Terry has given up pursuing a career as a manager. The former Blues captain, 44, last worked full-time in a coaching capacity with Dean Smith for a short spell in the Leicester dugout two years ago. 4 Terry had been Smith's assistant at Aston Villa, where he helped them win promotion via the play-offs to the Premier League in 2019. The ex-England skipper has since been interviewed by Newcastle and some League One clubs. But the process puts him off, and he is 'baffled' when he sees some coaches who do land work. He told SunSport: 'I'm done in terms of coaching. I'm enjoying my life, I'm working in the Chelsea academy. 'My role's a part-time role, I love working with the kids, I love passing on my knowledge and experience to those boys.' Terry — who won five Prem titles in his playing days at Chelsea, as well as five FA Cups, three League Cups, a Champions League and a Europa League — added: 'I don't really coach at the moment, I'm a mentor, ambassador. 'I went for a couple of jobs and those days are gone for me. I'm enjoying my life a little bit, I've got my time to myself, I play a bit of golf, I'm in the academy and I have some family time as well. 'It's a really good balance for me.' 4 Terry finished his playing career with Villa in 2018 and focus quickly switched to becoming a coach. Despite being content with his role at Chelsea, Terry says there is still frustration that he did not get a chance to be a manager anywhere. Fans spot Liam Delap's reaction on bench after Joao Pedro goal as Chelsea fans say 'this guy can't catch a break' He said: 'I absolutely wanted it. When I went into Villa I got great experience under Dean Smith and we got promotion, which was incredible. 'As an assistant coach in the Premier League and the experience I've had as a player and an individual captain in both Chelsea and England, I thought that would be enough to get me a job. 'I'm not saying a job in the Premier League or the Championship — but a job at League One level. 'I didn't even get a sniff. I had interviews and it was just 'you have no experience'. 'When I see some people managing today, it baffles me, it really does. 'In terms of 'am I frustrated', yes, absolutely because I have a lot of good attributes to be a really good coach or a really good manager but, unfortunately, that's not happened.'

'There is a lot to be happy with'
Tottenham manager Thomas Frank, speaking to TNT Sports after defeat to Paris St-Germain in the Uefa Super Cup: "I think we played a very good game against one of the best teams in the world, maybe the best at this moment in time. We had them exactly where we wanted them for 80-something minutes until the 2-1 goal, then of course the momentum shifted a little bit."The team, the players, the club, the fans, there is a lot to be happy with. It is a flip of the coin when you go to a penalty shootout."We showed that we can be adaptable and pragmatic, and we needed to be against a team like PSG. The way we wanted to defend, high pressure and low defending, was top, almost perfect, and also the set pieces were very good and dangerous."On set- pieces: "It is key. For any team it should be a weapon in my opinion. We will definitely be focusing on it because I think it is a key area. At times I think we showed that we can play up against any team in the world. That is a positive I will take away from this."On further transfer business: "We'd like to strengthen the squad. No doubt about that. We do work very hard to see if we can do that. In general I am very happy with the squad but in any transfer window we try to see if we can make the squad stronger before the window closes."On facing Burnley in their Premier League opener on Saturday: "It is a short turnaround, there will be disappointment in the next 24 hours and when I wake up tomorrow, but tomorrow afternoon we will be ready, and Friday we will be more ready. And we will make sure we come flying out on Saturday."
