F1 Power Units to Vote on Compression Ratio Measurement Change — and more

F1’s five power‑unit manufacturers will vote on a new method for measuring engine compression ratios, a change that could come into force during the summer break. The 2026 regulations set the compression ratio at 16:1, down from 18:1 last year, and the current measurement is taken at ambient temperature when the engine is idle.

Under the proposed tweak, the measurement process would be altered, potentially affecting how teams validate compliance with the new 16:1 ratio. The vote will determine whether the change is adopted before the next season.

The American skiing star, 30, became the first US skier to win three Olympic gold medals with her victory in the women's slalom. Shiffrin finished 1.50 seconds ahead of silver medalist Camille Rast of Switzerland, with Anna Swenn Larsson of Sweden taking bronze.

The winning margin marked the largest in any Olympic alpine skiing event since 1998. Shiffrin's victory ends an eight-year Olympic gold drought for the skier, who last won Olympic gold in 2018.

Arne Slot has been vocal about wanting more pace in his attack, and Anthony Gordon would certainly bring that to the table.

The Reds sold Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich over the summer, while Darwin Nunez also moved on.

That’s left Liverpool with few options on the left flank, and they’re not exactly quick either – something Slot isn’t keen on.

The manager has already discussed his interest in adding more speed up front, even comparing it to what PSG have.

After signing Hugo Ekitike, Slot said: “As we can all see, he’s [Ekitike] a good finisher, he’s very comfortable on the ball. But what stands out for me is he belongs to the fastest players we have.”

“We faced Paris Saint-Germain last season, where we had to face [Ousmane] Dembele, [Bradley] Barcola, [Desire] Doue – all these incredibly fast players. So that is what we’ve tried to add with him.”

Anthony Gordon clocks fastest speed in Champions League this season

And when it comes to pure speed, there aren’t many better options out there than Anthony Gordon.

Recent data highlighted that Hugo Ekitike is Liverpool’s quickest player in the competition, hitting 34.91km/h. But even that mark doesn’t stack up against Gordon’s pace this season.

The Newcastle winger hit a top speed of 37.92km/h, according to CIES — the highest recorded by any player remaining in the tournament.

On the other hand, Cody Gakpo and Florian Wirtz didn’t even feature on the list for their speeds in this year’s Champions League.

That said, Wirtz isn’t really a natural left winger and will probably spend more time playing as a number 10 moving forward.

Still, Gakpo has been a source of frustration for Liverpool fans lately. And considering he doesn’t fit the profile Slot is looking for, replacing him with Gordon seems like a logical move.

Liverpool lost out on signing Anthony Gordon in the summer

While there’s been plenty of talk online about Gordon making a switch to Liverpool, nothing concrete has come from it so far.

It’s worth remembering that he was close to joining Liverpool back in 2024 but the deal never materialised.

Speaking about the failed move, Gordon explained what happened. He said: “It’s true, that was the case,” he said on almost joining Liverpool. “I would never lie.”

“With PSR, I thought I was going to leave at some point in the window. It didn’t happen.

“I had to get my head around that to begin with. And then to get my head around it again (when it didn’t happen) was hard.”

Chiefs' updated cap space after restructuring Patrick Mahomes' contract originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.

The Kansas City Chiefs have begun the process of digging out of the financial hole they find themselves in for 2026.

According to Jason Fitzgerald of Over The Cap, the Chiefs restructured quarterback Patrick Mahomes' contract, which will free up a whopping $43.56 million in cap room.

The restructure lowers Mahomes' cap hit from $78.2 million to $34.65 million for this coming campaign. The Chiefs did this by converting $54.45 million of Mahomes' salary into a signing bonus.

This is the fourth time the Chiefs have restructured Mahomes' contract. The move will now lead to Mahomes' cap number rising by $10.89 million per year over the next four seasons.

While that's all well and good, the Chiefs still have some work to do.

Chiefs' updated cap space

Over The Cap now estimates Kansas City is $11.3 million over the cap, which is a far cry from the $54 million-plus the Chiefs were over before the restructure.

Kansas City still needs to clear more space, though, and not only to become cap compliant, but to also to free up money to make some moves and have funds to make it through the 2026 season.

More restructures could be coming, and we would fully expect some cuts to happen to get the Chiefs where they need to be.

Even with all that, Kansas City isn't likely to have a great cap space situation and the best approach for 2026 continues to be the Chiefs staying conservative and going through a transition year to set themselves up for a better financial future.
