Schumacher faces 'long fight' to recovery- Kehm
Michael Schumacher faces a "long fight" for recovery as the first anniversary of his skiing accident approaches, the former Formula One driver's manager said on Sunday. "We need a long time. It's going to be a long time and a hard fight," Sabine Kehm said. "He is making progress appropriate to the severity of the situation," she added, reiterating a statement she made a month ago. Schumacher suffered severe head injuries in a ski accident in Meribel in the French Alps on Dec. 29 2013. He emerged from an induced coma in June, and left hospital in September. In an interview with Le Parisien on Sunday, Philippe Streiff, another former F1 driver, said Schumacher "had yet to recover the power of speech" but was "nevertheless starting to recognise those close to him".
Arjun Atwal wins Dubai Open
DUBAI: Arjun Atwal held his nerve to hole an up-and-down for a birdie on the 72nd hole and end a four-year title drought as he won the inaugural $500,000 Dubai Open at the Els Golf Club on Sunday. Atwal won his first and only title on the PGA Tour for his last success on a pro Tour in 2010 and his last success on Asian Tour came in 2008. A message from his best friend, Tiger Woods, a series of invites and finally his putting falling in place saw Atwal get back to the winners' circle. On the long wait and the time in between, he said, "It's as good. It's actually as good (as PGA Tour win). I can't believe that I'm saying that, comparing it to my lifetime goal was to win on the PGA TOUR. To have won today, which I think it's maybe even a greater feeling today. Because the way things went the last two years, I didn't think I would play again or compete again. Especially when I had the back injury and the hip injury, I couldn't walk. So it was really like, you know, debilitating. So, yeah, it's something else right now."
Formula One urged to cut costs as teams fail
Sauber principal Monisha Kaltenborn has urged Formula One's decision makers to act in the sport's best interests and tackle a looming crisis after two teams went into administration in the space of a week. Speaking after the governing FIA said the predicament of Marussia and Caterham showed the need for cost-cutting measures, Kaltenborn said she was 'beyond frustration' with how the situation had developed.
MAZDA MX-5 : FIRST PICTURES OF NEW MX-5 MK4
The 2015 Mazda MX-5 was unveiled today - updating a modern classic with the fourth generation of the back-to-basics roadster. The new MX-5 is due in UK showrooms from summer 2015, priced around £19,000. The Mazda MX-5 Mk4 has adopted many of the accents of the company’s latest Kodo design language, but given a twist. Just look at the rear lamps, reminiscent of a Bangle-era BMW Z4’s. It’s an MX-5, alright, but rebooted with modern Mazda touches to survive well into the next quarter century.
