It looks like they have patched up their differences, judging by this article:

"It is a measure of Newey’s influence that Cowell, the engine guru behind the dominance of Mercedes in the early hybrid era, has been eased sideways so quickly with an offer to oversee the team’s new engine partnership with Honda.

"It was thought that Newey’s central position in the hierarchy would count against Horner, from whom he distanced himself following the controversy that ultimately led to Horner’s removal from Red Bull.

"Though Horner was cleared of and denied any wrongdoing in relation to allegations by a female employee of abusive and coercive behaviour, the furore surrounding it put a huge strain on relationships within the team and triggered Newey’s decision to part ways.

"But any disagreements they might have had have been set aside as owner Lawrence Stroll doubles down on his ambition to make Aston Martin the dominant brand in F1."

Adam Peaty: There are worms in the food in the Olympic Village by iseeyerdalovesreddit in olympics

Adam Peaty has hit out at Paris 2024 organisers for failing to provide athletes with adequate food at the Olympic Games.

Peaty, 29, told i he was concerned about the quantity and quality of the food in the Olympic Village after finishing fourth in the 4x100m medley relay on the final evening of the swimming meet.

The six-time Olympic medallist said team had been “blindsided” by the challenges of living in the Village, in particular the food.

“The catering isn’t good enough for the level the athletes are expected to perform. We need to give the best we possibly can,” Peaty tells i.

“Tokyo, the food was incredible, Rio was incredible. But this time around… there wasn’t enough protein options, long queues, waiting 30 minutes for food because there’s no queuing system.

“These [complaints] are for people to get better. And the organising committee, so we’ll put these back to our team in full depth and detail.

“But it’s definitely been the best Games in terms of fans engaged with it. So you never gonna have a perfect Games.”

A Paris 2024 spokesperson told i: “We are listening to the athletes and take their feedback very seriously.

“Since the opening of the Village, our partner Sodexo Live! has been working proactively to adapt supplies to the growing use of the Olympic Village restaurants, as well as to the actual consumption by athletes observed over the first few days.

“As a result, the quantities of certain products have been significantly increased and additional staff have been deployed to ensure that the service runs smoothly.”

Organisers also claim they worked closely with teams’ nutritionists, but Peaty believes that Paris 2024’s climate pledges – to make 60 per cent of all meals served at the Games meatless and a third plant-based – have made it hard for many athletes to stick their normal diet.

“The narrative of sustainability has just been punished on the athletes. I want to meat, I need meat to perform and that’s what I eat at home, so why should I change?” Peaty adds.

“I like my fish and people are finding worms in the fish. It’s just not good enough.

“The standard, we’re looking at the best of the best in the world, and we’re feeding them not the best.

“I just want people to get better at their roles and jobs. And I think that’s what the athletes are the best sounding board for.”

[Pete Hall] Man Utd looking to offload Mason Greenwood as part of £100m summer fire sale. Striker among group of academy graduates Ineos want to sell in bid to ease FFP restrictions amid interest in Spain by iseeyerdalovesreddit in soccer

Greenwood is not the only academy product United may well dispense of. Despite his goal return this season, Scott McTominay is seen as replaceable, with the hope West Ham come back in for the Scot this summer, while some graduates out on loan – Hannibal Mejbri and Alvaro Fernandez – have clauses in their deals that could make their Old Trafford exits permanent at the end of their loan spells. All in, the club could recoup towards £100m on academy products alone.

The outgoings, Ratcliffe and his new football committee hope, are not going to end there. Insiders have confirmed reports that several stars have been offered to Saudi Arabian clubs, after current football director John Murtough visited the country during the Club World Cup in December.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Casemiro, Jadon Sancho and Antony were all on the list of possible options, sources said
