Has Morgan Gibbs-White been the signing fans expected?

Just as the transfer window closed in September, Sheffield United signed up Morgan Gibbs-White on loan from Wolves. There was hope this would be the thing the Blades needed to move forward, and as it turns out it has been exactly that.

Gibbs-White joined a relegation battle with Sheffield United, who has failed to win a game since the start of the season. The Blades were missing something, upfront they just couldn’t seem to score, and it was costing them a lot. So, what could the promising 21-y

New faces in at Sheffield United, but more needed

Sheffield United started this Championship season as one of the favourites, but the first three games have produced all but one point and one scored goal. It seems a lack of pre-season and transfers is costing them.

In July, the Blades appointed Slaviša Jokanović as their manager. He has had proven success in the Championship with promotions to the Premier League with Fulham and Watford. With this experience, it was expected he would also bring prospective players. But so far, he has failed to

UoS fresher battling sexism aims to establish herself in F1's journalistic elite

Journalism is a challenging industry; it is tough and sees a lot of battles between individuals. For me as a female journalist, the experience has been a rollercoaster in the male-dominated sector of Formula 1.

Formula 1 is a crazy world. Things happen fast, just like they do in anything which involves journalism but it is faster when the topic you write on is cars travelling around a circuit at 300 km/h.

My career in F1 hasn’t been the longest, but my experiences have been somewhat brillia

Reliability Is Key, Especially in a Short Season

The season approaches but it seems that it will be short in comparison to others. Meaning, teams must be on top of reliability during the season.

The 2020 season, sees a reduced calendar from the record-breaking one which was meant to host twenty-two Grand Prix, will now whittle down to around fifteen. But this means fewer points will be available for the Championship, meaning reliability will need to be there for all the teams this season.

Every season, teams want a reliable car which they ca

Aston Martin Should Make a Move for Vettel

As silly season kicks in, in Formula 1. Ideas get raised and one of them is Sebastian Vettel moving to Aston Martin. With currently no seat on the grid, why shouldn't he move to a team which is transitioning to a factory team and an iconic car brand? And Why shouldn't Vettel maybe take up a new chapter in Formula 1 with a new team?

Aston Martin is seen as an iconic British car company, who are known for their luxury cars, which come with speed and usually are just beautiful to look at. They are

Will Double Headers At Tracks Lead to Less Excitement?

With more than just the two Double Headers, currently planned, expected. Will this lead to a big impact on the entertainment of a race?

So far, two different tracks in the confirmed eight races will host two races at their track. These are the Red Bull Ring in Austria and Silverstone in Britain. More are expected to join them as a double race. With this, will it affect the racing we see, the result and the excitement we usually get out of a race?

The two tracks which will host double headers o

Is Austria the Advantage Red Bull Need?

With the Formula 1 calendar starting in Austria with a double header, it maybe the early advantage in the season which the team needs to win a title

The 2020 Formula 1 season will finally begin in Austria in several weeks. The Red Bull Ring will host a doubleheader of Grand Prix. This can play happily in Red Bull's hands as they prepare to head to a track they have won at for the past two seasons with the same driver in their car.

Max Verstappen, in the last two seasons, has found himself on t

Bottas Your Seat Isn't Safe

So Bottas, says Mercedes have told him, they are ruling out Vettel. But his seat is not safe.

Valtteri Bottas could be right not showing any concern for his Formula 1 drive at the top team. Especially since he has been told Mercedes are not considering free agent Sebastian Vettel. But, I cannot be the only one wanting to say, your seat is not safe.

Even though rumours, almost surround Bottas' position as number two at Mercedes each year. It seems like this year, the rumours seem plausible to o
