A statement on yesterday….. Everything I said in that interview was true. However, rest assured I’m doing my best to turn things round. I have been in a mental health clinic for the last 10 weeks, finally discharging so I could attempt to play in Belfast I owed that to my family, in particular my daughter to see me play for what could be the last time….. I also owed it to the fans who have supported me throughout my 21 years on tour I also owed that to World Snooker who have been amazing from day on in all this, in particular Simon Brownell and Neil Tomkins who have remained in touch regularly, even Simon paying me a visit in the clinic itself I’m not ok, but I’m ok in that itself. I’ve been much worse in the last few months than you saw yesterday. I literally didn’t see a future in anything….. My daughter kept me going, the therapists, staff and all the other patients were amazing and helped me through some really dark days I see the light now that I couldn’t see before but I do now. I also know it won’t happen overnight. I’m a work in progress!!! My fight and determination on the table has always been there for ones to see. I need to show those same fighting qualities off it now for a while Please don’t detract anything from Jordan yesterday, he’s been aware of my struggles and that can’t have been easy to play in but he handled it with grace and skill as I knew he would. Im proud to call him a friend I hope the rest of the event is a success and I will continue my treatments going forward and then see what’s ahead Thank you to every single message I have received on here, instagram, Facebook, text messages and WhatsApp’s, I’ve seen them all but a bit overwhelmed to reply right now. Just know that they have helped me a lot but I’m not going anywhere just yet!!!! I have so much to live for and this is only the beginning of my new journey Also, I was not made to do any interviews, I was simply given a choice and felt I owed it to everyone to speak. The media team at WST have been incredible through all this too Thank you all x

Finally a car that justifies the series. Impressive if true because remember the tyres aren't even full slick (or has that changed?)
‼️Los datos más llamativos del test de Porsche con el Gen4 en Monza #FormulaE ⚡️El mejor tiempo fue de 1'32", sólo un segundo más lento de la Pole de F2 de este año 🔛Ese crono marcó el primer día, con el coche aún por ajustar y neumáticos usados… ¡y el simulador ya dio tiempos incluso más rápidos! 🔥Sin buscar el límite absoluto, se superaron los 300 kilómetros/hora antes de las grandes frenadas 🌧️También, un rendimiento espectacular en mojado –condiciones en las que rodó Pepe Martí–, con la tracción integral y los neumáticos como protagonistas 📸monzainpista, vía Instagram

That Mark Allen interview is heartbreaking 💔😭. Really hope he gets what he needs. #WST #Snooker.

This was already known. Newey himself has said Lewis on multiple occasions offered himself #F1
🚨 Horner revela que HAMILTON se ofreció a Red Bull. ➡️ Fue en 2012 y llegó a haber una reunión secreta con Lewis en casa de Adrian Newey. 😳 Horner y Newey estaban a favor, pero a Marko no le hacía gracia juntar a Hamilton con Vettel. 💸 El dinero frenó la operación: se necesitaban cifras astronómicas para hacerlo posible. ℹ️ Autobiografía de Horner vía Crash .net

There could be a book on the goings on at Mercedes 2011-2013. What should be the takeaway is that Lauda and Toto took credit for the work that Ross Brawn did. Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes success was a result on the foundations Ross built and the world doesn't acknowledge that #F1
🚨 | Christian Horner reveals how Niki Lauda tried to lure him to Mercedes in 2013: “‘I respect you as a racer. I want you to come. Besides, Helmut [Marko] is a miserable bastard.’ “I listened to his offer and shook my head. At that point, Sebastian was at the peak of his powers and Red Bull were in the ascendancy. “‘Niki, I’ve been winning World Championships with Red Bull.’”

Can't remember the last time I saw so many big names drop so early from a snooker tournament 😂. Ronnie, Trump, Selby, Wu Yize, Wakelin, Murphy, Robbo all gone already. Huge opportunity for someone. Brecel still in and Slessor too and I'd love it if one of them went far #WST

Always said that using # of wins, # of titles, # of poles etc isn't a measure of how good a driver is. The greatest of all time is unquestionably Jim Clark, after that it's a debate. Fernando is definitely one of the greats though, another win or title wouldn't matter #F1.
💔 Christian Horner cuenta cómo Fernando Alonso estuvo A PUNTO de fichar por Red Bull en 2008: 👉 "Fue al final de 2007. La documentación ya se había intercambiado". 👉 "El management de Alonso estaba dispuesto a correr solo una temporada con nosotros, y Dietrich dijo: 'Si vamos a comprometernos, tiene que ser con 2 temporadas o nada'". 👉 "Existía el temor de que fuéramos simplemente un 'equipo puente' antes de que Alonso fuera a Ferrari". 👉 "En 2010 Flavio Briatore actuó de mánager y quería cambiar a Mark Webber por Fernando. Me dijo: 'Toma a Fernando y ganaréis el Mundial'". 👉 "¿Fernando habría conseguido con nosotros más de los 2 Mundiales que tiene? Para mí es un talento que merece más victorias de las que tiene". 👉 "Con suerte, tal vez consiga otro Mundial". [The Race] #F1

Fucking visiting idiots are expecting this
😳 First visitor into Yorkshire Wildlife Park after it reopened is left SHOCKED seeing the exact spot where William Chapman jumped into the tiger’s enclosure. Altai the tiger is also spotted for the first time since last weekend’s tragedy. 🐅

Nobody catching Kimi now but mad how McLaren fumbled a genuine chance of getting Lando 2nd 😂. Whatever they've done to the car they've just given Ferrari a prime chance #F1
Six winners in 2026. Six still left in the fight. Can anyone hunt down Kimi? 🎯 #F1 #USGP

What's mad is that most of our issues last season or two have been being run through so easy in midfield. Jaissle thinking setting up like this is a good idea when we don't have a Kante/Toure/Caicedo type player is wild. #NUFC
This is just ridiculous isn’t it #nufc

Not only that but we don't have the players up top to even utilise this sort of approach. It's not possible that setting up this way brings 1 shot on target 😂. Rafa got shit for how we played but we played appropriately to the players we had available. That's not happening now

Horner did his research when he hired Adrian. He knew what his gripes at former teams were and Horner gave Newey room for freedom. Newey would still be at RedBull if Horner was willing to listen to single request Newey has always wanted. It took Lawrence Stroll 5s to say yes #F1.
😳 Horner se enteró POR TELÉFONO de que Adrian Newey dejaba Red Bull… mientras Newey estaba en la oficina de enfrente Fue directamente a preguntarle qué ocurría 🗣️ Newey: "Vas a tener que hablar con mi representante" 😅 Horner pensó que estaba de coña 🎙️ High Performance

What are people expecting the tiger to be wearing a black armband or something?

Nothing against or wrong with EVs. It's the retards behind the wheel that are the problem.
On the very expensive Porsche Mission S you have to use your phone for navigation and entertainment, like on the cheap $20k Slate truck, or an old car.

The assumption he had it is what is wrong here. I mean, he wasted a rocketship for 5 straight seasons with a handful of victories when Lewis cba #F1.
Miles behind his Cadillac #F1 team-mate in real races, what has happened to Valtteri Bottas's pace? go.motorsportmagazine.com/4e…

Found his level
Verstappen Racing finished behind both Valentino Rossi and Nikita Mazepin in FP1 👀

And people wonder why Max didn't want to team up with him ...
