The Chinese Grand Prix results have been changed by the FIA after Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc and Pierre Gasly were disqualified from the race.

Leclerc crossed the line in P5 after being overtaken late on by Max Verstappen, while Hamilton was placed sixth after a gamble on a two-stop strategy backfired. Gasly narrowly missed out on the points, finishing the race in P11.

However, after failing Parc Ferme assessments from the FIA’s technical delegate, Jo Bauer, all three drivers have been disqualified. Gasly and Leclerc’s cars came in 1kg underweight, while Hamilton’s plank wear exceeded the maximum allowed.

The three disqualifications came at the benefit of a number of drivers. Lance Stroll and Carlos Sainz took the chequered flag in P12 and P13, respectively, but were promoted into the top 10 as a result of the infringements.

Further ahead, Kimi Antonelli, Esteban Ocon, Alex Albon and Oliver Bearman all gained positions in the order, picking up more priceless points for their constructors.

Viv Anderson insists there is “absolutely no chance” that he will see a black England men’s manager in his lifetime. The 68-year-old points out that there remains a dearth of BAME head coaches in the EFL.

Nottingham Forest’s Nuno Espirito Santo and Port Vale’s Darren Moore are the only BAME bosses in the top four divisions of English football. There have been just 11 black Premier League managers. The senior England men’s team have never had a black manager and Anderson does not expect that to change any time soon, having seen Thomas Tuchel replace Gareth Southgate.

“A black England manager?” repeated Anderson when the notion was put to him in an interview with the Mirror. “If we do, it won’t be in my lifetime. There’s absolutely no chance.

“In fact, it’s not really worth talking about until we see a few black managers in the Premier League. It’s over 30 years since I was player-manager at Barnsley. I think Keith Alexander at Lincoln was the only other black manager in the English game.

“One newspaper article said it was the start of a new generation. But nothing has changed. The only English-born black manager in all four divisions is Darren Moore. How can that be, when so many black players have played the game at the highest level over the last 50 years?

“When I was a kid kicking a ball about in Nottingham, I wanted to be Clyde Best, the West Ham striker, because he was the only black face I saw on TV playing football. Who’s the managerial equivalent of Clyde?”

Anderson believes the reason behind the lack of BAME representation in football management is the lack of diversity in boardrooms. In 2018, the Football Association introduced a version of the NFL’s Rooney Rule, which stated that teams must interview at least one black, Asian or minority ethnic (BAME) candidate for each head coach. Anderson wonders if it has made a difference.

He continued: “Most football clubs are owned by millionaires and billionaires. How many of them are black? How many of them will even have black friends? Name an executive who’s black. I can only think of Les Ferdinand, who spent a few years as QPR’s director of football.

“I’ve been invited to England’s game against Latvia. I’ll watch [Jude] Bellingham, [Kyle] Walker and [Marcus] Rashford – and when I walk into the lounge at half-time I’ll be surrounded by white men, most of them aged 65 and over. These people run the game.

“Every team has black players. But the people in charge, the ones who hold the power, are all white. Until that changes then nothing changes.

“I remember the Football League implementing a version of the NFL’s ‘Rooney Rule’ a few years ago so that clubs were forced to interview black candidates for coaching roles. Is it still in place? I’m being serious. I honestly don’t know if it’s still a thing. If it is, then it isn’t working.”

The Football Association has a target of making 30 per cent of the England men’s coaching staff – from the senior team to the Under-17s – BAME by 2028. As part of the scheme, Justin Cochrane was added to Tuchel’s staff at the start of the year.

Jack Draper has revealed he “couldn’t hear the ball” at times during his second-round defeat to Jakub Mensik at the Miami Open. The Brit lost in straight sets against his teenage opponent, during a match that was marred by crowd chaos.

The contest had been brought to a halt after hoards of Brazillian tennis fans in attendance to watch Joao Fonseca realised the teenager was playing on a different court. Fonseca, who would later in the day beat Ugo Humbert in straight sets, had been due to play on Draper’s court, but the match was moved to the main stadium at the last minute.

It came after the fans had been making quite the racket throughout Draper’s game – something his referenced in his post-match debrief. Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: “I didn’t really know what was going on it was getting quite loud, couldn’t really hear the ball being hit.

“I think those Brazilian fans had been in the stadium all day waiting for him [Fonseca] to play and then obviously they changed the court. It’s not ideal I can understand their frustration, we had to stop for a bit.”

However, he did have plenty of sympathy for the supporters who were out in their masses to support Fonseca. The 22-year-old continued: “It’s so good [the support], especially at this tournament where I don’t feel like the crowd attendance is amazing, it’s not fair on them if they can’t get on that centre court. I can understand their frustration, I was just confused as to what was going on.”

Responding to the incident while courtside, Sky Sports pundit Laura Robson said: “You absolutely can’t believe it. The boos are very much justified because it’s just been announced that Fonseca and Humbert is moving to stadium court. All these Brazilian fans have been sat here for hours and hours are now just finding out and they’re trying to head over. The queues are going to be outrageous trying to get in.

“You feel so bad for them and it just makes it really difficult for the two players on court. There’s so much drama happening around the crowd and they’re just trying to play tennis. Just absolute scenes out here!”

Regardless, it’s another feather in the cap of Mensik, who has now secured six victories against opponents ranked inside the top 10. The gleeful Czech said post-match: “The most important thing was the serve today. That was the key. I knew it was going to be tough in the tie-breaker and the fans were tough today so I tried to stay focused. It was an important time of the match so I had to keep focus.”

The 19-year-old will go head-to-head with Roman Safiullin for a place in the last-16 after the Russian star defeated Alexei Popyrin in his round two clash.
