The FIA extends its deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Alan Jones.
A Formula 1 World Champion and true motor sport legend, his legacy and contribution to our sport will never be forgotten. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

The awful comments hurt my heart. Yes she was young (the average age of Battle of Britain pilots was 20), but she kept her composure and communicated while banked 60 degrees, nose down, falling 20,000 ft in a 100 seconds. Only at the end did she lose it. Who wouldn't? Be kind 🥺

Very sad news. RIP the fabulous Elke Sommer, who has passed away aged 85.
Elke appeared in many films, including The Pink Panther sequel A Shot in the Dark, The Prize, And Then There Were None, and even Carry On Behind.

Deeply saddened by today's crash of an 🇮🇹 Army CH-47 helicopter engaged in the EU operation ALTHEA @euforbih near Brčko, Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦.
On behalf of the NATO Military Committee and myself, our thoughts are with the crew and everyone on board, with their families living hours of anguish, and with their comrades, awaiting for more news. I have sent a message to General Luciano Portolano to express our closeness to him and to the Italian Armed Forces at this painful time.
These men and women serve peace and stability in a region to which Allies and partners have committed decades of effort.
As an Italian, I feel this tragedy all the more deeply.

Profondo dolore per l'incidente di oggi all'elicottero CH-47 dell'Esercito Italiano 🇮🇹, impegnato nell'operazione UE ALTHEA @euforbih , precipitato vicino a Brčko, in Bosnia-Erzegovina 🇧🇦.
A nome mio e del Comitato Militare della NATO, il nostro pensiero va all'equipaggio e a tutti coloro che erano a bordo, alle loro famiglie che vivono ore di angoscia e ai loro compagni, in attesa di ulteriori notizie. Ho inviato un messaggio al Generale Luciano Portolano per esprimere la nostra vicinanza a lui e alle Forze Armate italiane in questo momento difficile.
Questi uomini e queste donne servono la pace e la stabilità in una regione alla quale Alleati e partner hanno dedicato decenni di impegno.
Da italiano, sento questo dolore ancora più vicino, perché tocca dei connazionali.

Vincenzo Sospiri was #BornOnThisDay in 1966 who made his Formula One debut in 1997(Australian Grand Prix) Sospiri had tested for the Simtek team(1994)
Despite winning the Formula 3000 title in 1995, very few options were available for Sospiri, so he chose to take the role of official Benetton test driver for the 1995 season.
Sospiri finally got his chance to race in Formula One with the MasterCard Lola project in 1997. it but was clear from the first race, where both Sospiri and his former F3000 teammate Ricardo Rosset were more than ten seconds off the pace and failed to qualify and the team withdrawn from racing.
After the Lola Mastercard failure Sospiri turned to IndyCar racing and later to Sports car racing and became team owner Vincenzo Sospiri Racing.
Sospiri was a major inspiration for Michael Schumacher. In a Q&A session with F1 Racing readers in 2012, when asked about his racing heroes, Schumacher replied: "To start with, it was Vincenzo Sospiri. Then it was Ayrton Senna. Those two guys inspired me big time while I was karting"
Happy birthday Vincenzo

🇬🇧 Terry Harryman 🥹
Terence Arthur "Terry" Harryman (born September 26, 1938) is a pioneering Northern Irish rally co-driver whose career spanned more than five decades, moving from 1960s club roots to the pinnacle of World Rally Championship (WRC) dominance and endurance cross-country racing.
The Vatanen Era:
Partnered Ari Vatanen through Opel and Peugeot works teams during the mid-1980s, securing iconic WRC victories including the 1985 Monte Carlo Rally (the most recent British co-driver win at Monte Carlo), the Swedish Rally, Safari Rally, 1000 Lakes (Finland), Sanremo, and the RAC Rally.
Diversified Pedigree:
Navigated across generations—starting with Paddy Hopkirk in works Minis, later winning the 1986 German Championship with Michèle Mouton (Peugeot) and the
1988 Dutch and Irish Tarmac championships with Mark Lovell (Ford).
Resilience:
Recovered from a severe back-breaking crash with Vatanen in 1985, returning to top-flight competition just three months later.
Later Chapters:
Transitioned into team management (Renault Dealer Team), event promotion (Mobil 1 Rally Challenge), and competing in the Middle East and the Dakar Rally prior to retiring in 2003. Honored with induction into the Ards and North Down Sporting Wall of Fame.
Recognised as one of the early innovators and systemizers of competitive pace-note transcription in international rallying.
Extremely sad news for everyone involved in Rallying.
A legend in the co-drivers seat.
Thinking of Terry’s family, friends and colleagues in the WRC.

ACARS message that went out in the New York airspace on September 11, 2001.
25 years later, this remains one of the most emotional, descriptive, and painful messages ever sent to an aircraft.
Deep words that captured the horror unfolding in the sky that morning.

Superheroes don’t always wear capes.
Loek Hartog stopped his Porsche, ran toward the flames, and pulled Ollie Millroy from the wreckage following a massive crash in Shanghai.
We are incredibly proud of Loek and his extraordinary courage when it mattered most.
Wishing Ollie strength and a full recovery.

Today is a heartbreaking day for the Greek aviation community.
The 338 Mira of the Hellenic Air Force has tragically lost two of its finest pilots and one of its last F-4E Phantom II fighter jets during the Athens Flying Week 2026 airshow.
I lost two good friends today. Rest in peace.
