    Formula One driver Max Verstappen's likely to need around 10 days to recover from his accident in the British Grand Prix at Silverstone


    His 290 kilometre-an-hour first lap nudge from Lewis Hamilton sent him crashing out and on to hospital for checks, while Hamilton fought back from a 10-second penalty to win.


    Families of NRL league players can now join them in Queensland.

    All of the teams are based there so the competition can continue amid Covid-19 outbreaks in New South Wales and Victoria.

    Ryan Fox has revealed he broached the subject of Brooks Koepka's feud with Bryson De Chambeau while playing with the four-times major champion during the final round of the Open Championship.

    Koepka and De Chambeau have traded barbs for more than two years, starting with a slow play complaint from Koepka aimed at the former US Open champion in 2019.

    The feud's been accentuated on social media and Fox says he was under pressure from mates to raise the issue.
