The conditions at Silverstone for the British Grand Prix on Sunday were probably best described as 'challenging' as the heavens opened before the start and then again at multiple points throughout the race.

Check out the video above of the World RX Final from Sunday. It is absolutely bonkers and completely brilliant, with ludicrous car control and the added jeopardy of 680bhp EVs and 600bhp turbo petrol cars sharing the same circuit. Although this weekend just gone, it was more of a lake than a circuit.
So, spend seven minutes of your Monday watching this automotive chaos, or skip straight to the four-minute mark to see Kevin Hansen make one of the greatest saves you'll ever see in motorsport. You might like

Sunday's briefing: Just another game for Greenwood while Gyokeres faces sanction
Arsenal target Viktor Gyokeres is facing disciplinary action for failing to turn up to pre-season training for Sporting Lisbon. Andy Carroll has completed a surprise move to join Dagenham and Redbridge, while Sweden finished top of Group C at the Euros with a resounding 4-1 defeat of Germany. Greenwood not fazed by Wales test 🗣️ "What do we have to fear?" Wales head coach Rhian Wilkinson is 'excited' for their clash with England at the Euros 🏴🏴 — Sky Sports Football (@SkyFootball) July 12, 2025 Alex Greenwood admitted the big rivalry billing for England's final Euro 2025 group-stage encounter might hold more weight for their Welsh opponents than it does for her. A win against Wales – the lowest-ranked team in the tournament – would be enough to book England a place in the quarter-finals. Wales need a victory of four goals or more, as well as France beating the Netherlands, to progress. Wales captain Angharad James, who was asked if she wanted to knock England out, said: 'Of course you do. It's in our blood. It's in our DNA.' But quizzed as to whether or not she felt the same sense of rivalry, Greenwood conceded: 'Maybe not as much. I think, for me personally, it's another game.'

Gyokeres, who scored 39 league goals to fire Sporting to the Portuguese title last season, is understood to be at the top of Arsenal's wish list. However, the two clubs are yet to agree a transfer fee. Sporting president Frederico Varandas told Portuguese news agency LUSA: 'If they don't want to pay Viktor's fair market value, we'll be very comfortable with that for the next three years. 'If the geniuses who are devising this strategy think that this puts pressure on me to make it easier for him to leave, not only are they completely wrong, but they are also making it more complicated for the player to leave.

It also marked Germany's biggest ever loss in the competition. Poland beat Denmark 3-2 in the other game in the group. What's on today? Defending European champions England will look to avoid an early exit in their clash with Wales. England know a win will secure their place in the quarter-finals while Wales need a big victory and help from France. The Group D fixtures kick off at 8pm BST.
