Christian horner responded to that by saying i would not comment on anonymous expectoration, but to read to eat i have always denied the allegations. He also said in a statement that he had taken part in what had been what he called a rigorous investigation by the teams Parent Company red bull, which exonerated him earlier this week. A grievance against him had been made by a female college was dismissed following and investigation by an external barrister, but the story has not gone away and the sport is still reeling from what happened yesterday.

To discuss this exact issue, i spoke to the director of repetition at the pha group and ask him about the potential impact of all of this despite the fact that Christian Horner maintains his impotence.

Tonight in qualifying, i know you will come onto that, Max Verstappen try to stay or the focus back onto the truck and finish in poor position, which would be welcomed by Red Bull Racing. We are used to seeing Christian Horner front and racing. We are used to seeing Christian Hornerfront and centre during the race and we can and you expect to see that this weekend but the story is not going away as much as he tries to operate as close of business as usual as possible, that might not be as feasible as he things, and his Sports Leadership are bracing themselves for any other twist down the road ahead.

Laura scott, thank you so much for that update. That story has been the backdrop to this weekends season opening grand prix. Tomorrows race in bahrain will see Max Verstappen begin the defence of his title from pole. The three time World Champion was fastest in qualfying today, finishing ahead of Charles Leclerc and George Russell as Patrick Geary reports after a ll after all that has surrounded this grand prix, now the moment for focus, for Max Verstappen, there were standards to maintain, a first blurry gleam of the red bull � s reading speed, which has been kept hidden in practice. Even so, for most of qualifying he was in a contest. The ferraris of carlos sainz and Charles Leclerc were quick in q2, leclair was click west, far quicker than lewis hamilton. After a promising practice he sparks and did not ignite finishing eighth. His team mate, George Russell, finish better, his late pace meanness he will start tomorrows race third, behind Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen, who finds that share a philosophy that tends to end in victory. His teams is up to the grand prix has been complicated to say the least but he will start the season where he finished the last, first. Patrick geary, bbc news its notjust f1 keeping us busy this weekend. Josh kerr, laura muir and jemma reekie will all be hoping to win gold in front of their home crowd in glasgow at the World Athletics Indoor Championships which got under way today.

This is a proposed olympics style event where doping would be allowed. World athletics president lord coe has called it nonsense and says any athletes who compete in it are moronic and would face a lengthy ban. But the founder of the games, australian businessman aron dsouza, has hit back and reckons the dispute is like the drama weve seen between the pga and liv in golf i would encourage them to look at us antitrust law. Its exactly what the pg tried to do to liv golf when it took off, when it took off, the pg said if you go over to the other side we would buy new and now liv golf owns the pg. And so is Sebastian Cole promoted Anti Competitive Behaviour by potentially banning actual athletes who want to prayer participate in the enhanced game to come back in the enhanced game to come back in the olympics is in. Its inappropriate of him to make those statements and he did not clearly consult with his lawyers before making that follow most rent at the press conference. Time now for some of the days other Sport Stories and ireland s men have won their first ever test match. They beat afghanistan in abu dhabi. Lorcan tucker hit the winning runs as they chased down 111 to win with six wickets in hand. The team had lost their previous seven matches since being granted test status in 2018. Rory mcelroy under way in his second round at the classic in florida for some he birdied the second and his five under par under three holes, five under par under three holes, five shots off the lead. Tottenham forward richarlison faces up to four weeks out with a knee injury picked up in their defeat against wolves last month. The brazilian has scored ten goals this season with Ange Postecoglous side currently fifth in the Premier League. A couple of weeks ago, for the first time in the womens super league, arsenal sold out the emirates for their win over Manchester United. Theyre now heading for another big crowd for sundays home game against tottenham. Arsenal go into itjust three points behind the leaders chelsea and Manchester City. Today ,there was a setback though with Striker Vivianne Miedema Set for several weeks on the sidelines after undergoing minor knee surgery. Ive been speaking to the Arsenal Managerjonas Eidevall the Long Term Plan is simply more and more games at the emirates but how soon and how quickly you can execute that plan, there are lots of factors going into that, but there is no doubt that the demand is there and that is great to see. You is no doubt that the demand is there and that is great to see. And that is great to see. You lost the last derby. And that is great to see. You lost the last derby, of and that is great to see.

You lost the last derby, of course, there i the last derby, of course, there was a defeat to west time, going out of the fa cups to Manchester City, but that great result against Manchester United, which keeps you three points off the leaders, chelsea and Manchester City, how confident are you about a sustained title challenge this season was a mark we have the potential .

When players returned from an acl injuries, there could be minor complications, sometimes its muscular or things in the knee that need a bit of correction, and this is the case here no with vivian, where she requires minor knee surgery, which would not take her up for months, several weeks, and we are here to help and support her during that process and hopefully welcome her back on the pitch again this season. Finally, the team you are chasing and everyone is chasing is chelsea at the top, emma hayes leaving in the summerfor the United States job, and she has again spoken about their lack of female coaches, and how that needs to be addressed by the game. What are your thoughts on that . I the game. What are your thoughts on that . , , that . I agree with emma, i think there is a professional that . I agree with emma, i think there is a professional area there is a professional area where there is a professional area where there is a professional area where there is way too little female presents. I still think its very hard to understand that there are so few Women Coaches in the mens game, for example, because there should not be down to gender in the ability to be able to do this job. So hopefully emma is a great role model or encourage more female coaches in the game, but obviously in need support and there are probably a few structural issues that need to be dealt with as well to be able to encourage and enable more female talent to go into the coaching game. From the North London Derby in the wsl to the Manchester Derby in the Premier League this sunday. Once again city go into it with their eyes on the title and Manchester United well off the pace. Its a huge game for both managers, albeit for different reasons. Olly foster has more from the Etihad Stadium the first thing that Pep Guardiola addressed in todays News Conference here at the Etihad Stadium was the injury to Jack Grealish in the fa cups i on tuesday night. He will not be involved on the can and will be out for a couple weeks, Pep Guardiola said he he wasnt sure when he would be back and ruled him out of the International Break with england and garrets osgood. For the match on sunday, this will be the zist match on sunday, this will be the 21st Manchester Derby for Pep Guardiola. He has one half of them so far, and Manchester Citys domination in the Premier League over the last decade or so has really been encapsulated in this picture, but if there is one thing that Pep Guardiola has learned, he says, is that he should never ever underestimate Manchester United. I expect the best for Manchester United, but i dont talk about what they do, there are ups opponents i respect, i dont want to misunderstand my words, when i have comments, people always say Pep Guardiola cheap, but thats my intention, i know them and have lots of respect for the institution, the coach and the players, but when i see what we have to do, my players will know it today and tomorrow. You have to no will know it today and tomorrow. You have to go back to the Beginning Of December The Last TimeManchester City lost in the Premier League. You have to go to last weekend to win at Manchester United did that, chastening defeat against for them at old trafford. Erik ten hag says he can smile on his players the desire to come up with a result against interest visited the sunday. You always want to play against the best and you always want to play against the best and so most of the time, we feel. Best and so most of the time, we feel. And best and so most of the time, we feel, and you can also seat, that when feel, and you can also seat, that when the feel, and you can also seat, that when the opposition get their best output when the opposition get their best output against Manchester United. Maybe output against Manchester United. Maybe this game is the other camp way around maybe this game is the other camp way around way around. Manchester united arent art of the way around. Manchester united arent part of the title way around. Manchester united arent part of the Title Composition way around. Manchester united arent part of the Title Composition to part of the Title Composition to season but how they would love to have a say in it and they could do that this sunday against Manchester City. March, what a huge month for Manchester City, because they can get into the quarterfinals of the champions league, the semifinals of the fa cups, and a round off this month as well against two true title challengers, liverpool and arsenal, but they can kick things off here on sunday. Feels like a defining month in the title race. For the last couple of days weve been following sky browns quest to become the first british athlete in more than a century to compete in two different sports at the same summer olympics. At tokyo she won skateboarding bronze as a 13 year old and now, aged 15, she wants to win a medal not only in that but also in surfing. But in the last hour or so that dream has come to and end in qualifying in puerto rico where Natalie Pirks is for us. Dream Overfor Skydisappointment for sky brown it remains glorious behind you but the news not so good for sky brown today will stop. The news not so good for sky brown today will stop today will stop. Unfortunately, the dream is over today will stop. Unfortunately, the dream is over for today will stop. Unfortunately, the dream is over for another today will stop. Unfortunately, the dream is over for another four dream is over for another four years, you can see the conditions, the son might be out now but earlier it was torrential downpour is which cause written wind and blustery conditions, or cornish conditions then caribbean ones. It sky brown struggled to catch a currants and get out, she was stuck and lost valuable time doing that, she came third also for, top two would advise to tomorrow and that wouldve given her a great chance of qualifying for the other pics. It wasnt to be. This was her first time in the british team. She was only surfing competitively for nine months, and less of the commentators were saying its not a talent issue, she has the talent, but its selecting the waves at the right time that she could catch, essentially, to get the top scores to take her through. She harboured dreams of becoming the first british woman in history to compete at two different sports at the olympics, as you said that she is a bronze medallist from tokyo in skateboarding on the part emma and she has been the World Champion last year as well, but it wasnt to be. She has learnt a lot. Here is what she said to me in the last hour. It was pretty tough, this event a month but i enjoyed every moment, and ive learned but i enjoyed every moment, and ive learned so but i enjoyed every moment, and ive learned so much. I will keep it with me forever~ learned so much. I will keep it with me forever. This event has taught me a lot and me forever. This event has taught me a lot and i me forever. This event has taught me a lot and t can me forever. This event has taught me a lot and i can bring that over onto as a. A lot and i can bring that over onto as a. Which a lot and i can bring that over onto as a, which would be nice. But yes, it was as a, which would be nice. But yes, it was really as a, which would be nice. But yes, it was really cool, i learned a lot watching it was really cool, i learned a lot watching my idols surfer up there. Great watching my idols surfer up there. Great to watching my idols surfer up there. Great to see her still so positive, as you said the dream only over for now, but there wasntjust his appointment for her, how did the other british hopefuls got on . Britain had to surfer is still left in this day seven of the nine of competition and that was aaron strong in the mens, and he unfortunately came third in his round as well, but for britain still have two surfers us far as this, to try and understand, let me tell you that most of them were booked on flights to come home yesterday. They had to change their flights quite hastily to jay in to support these surfers was updated not expect to get this far. Its a new team cup. Their chair person is the same Chief Executive of the british snow sport, they took the model of snow sport, they took the model of snow sport and dumped into the surfing, and ejection of cash, not a lot, but enough to get them to where they want to be. They believe that right now people and by not be paying attention to the british surfing team, but in four years time it was set up in take notice. Already today they are punching above their weight and sky brown already shows they have the talent to go further. In four years time, those olympics are being held in la, where she is based, on the beach she serves every day when shes home a month so her focus with swisher that, i cannot tell you how big go four Years Experience she will get would be big for her. She was out today against five time World Champions, people always on the circuit for 15 or so years, people in their 30s who i have all the greats and experience will know which way to select and how to play the game, because tactics come into play as well what ive learned this week. So i think the future for sky brown is right and she still has a Paris Olympics to enjoy, all beads on concrete rather than on the waves. Much to come from rather than on the waves. Much to come from her, rather than on the waves. Much to come from her, it rather than on the waves. Much to come from her, it is rather than on the waves. Much to come from her, it is windier rather than on the waves. Much to come from her, it is windier than i i come from her, it is windier than i thought at first, natalie, you are right. Next to tennis and drama at the dubai open where Andrey Rublev has been defaulted from the semi finals for unsportsmanlike conduct. The russian second seed screamed in the face of a line judge following a disputed call in the deciding set of his semifinal with alexander bublik. A russian speaking official says rublev swore at the linejudge in russian. The world number five will now lose all of his prize money and ranking points for the week. Meanwhile at the mexican open, jack draper is into the semi finals. The british number three broke twice in each set as he cruised past Serbias Miomir Kecmanovic in acapulco. Hell play australias Alex De Minaur in the early hours of tomorrow morning, after he put out stefanos tsitsipas. Dont forget, very shortly Katie Boulter will play donna vekic in her first wta 500 quarterfinal at the san diego open, you can keep across that on the bbc sport website but from me and the team thats all for now, goodnight. Hello there. Today is the first day of meteorological spring, and yet it was a christmas card. Seeing that we had first thing this morning here in Northern Ireland, weve got cold air sitting over the uk at the moment and through the weekend thats going to generate some more showers, which could be heavy and potentially thundery as well. And as well as those shower clouds, weve got this band of thicker cloud here thats pushing its way northwards and its all spiralling around this area of low pressure, which will stick with us for the next couple of days or so. Now, these are the temperatures as weve got at the end of the day. So pretty chilly out there. Once again, fourto seven degrees or so. And weve got this band of rain and snow for higher parts of the pennines, the cumbrian fells that will push its way northwards into scotland. Some snow over the hills here. More showers will return to Northern Ireland and well see some wet weather pushing up from the southeast into other Eastern Parts of england that could keep temperatures above freezing by the end of the night. But elsewhere, where we have the clearer skies, weve got frost, some ice and some mist and fog patches around as well. And through the weekend, it is just staying cold. Its on saturday that will see most of the showers, maybe some longer. Spells of rain, a drier picture on sunday, but there may be more mist and fog around. And as weve seen some frosty mornings as well. Weve got this wetter weather in the South East Pushing Northwards through the midlands, Eastern Parts of england. And then weve also got this wet weather coming in from the north sea, some snow over the hills of scotland, more showers for Northern Ireland pushing into wales and the south west midlands. South east england may turn drier with more in the way of sunshine, but temperatures only struggling up to seven to eight, maybe nine degrees. So thats below par for this time of the year. Low pressure still with us into the second half of the weekend. This Weather Front we need to keep an eye on. At the moment, its keeping the rain out into the north sea, but its not far away. And otherwise weve got a bit more mist and fog through central southern england, the midlands, Northern England slow to lift and then it brightens up with some sunshine. Could stay a bit cloudy across some parts of scotland and these Western Areas seeing a few showers with the wetter weather probably heading towards the Northern Isles of scotland.
