Looking back, Dan Mullen’s time as the head coach of the Florida Gators was quite impressive on paper. His tenure saw a strong start with a 10-3 record in 2018, followed by an 11-2 season in 2019. Although his third season ended with an 8-4 record, his fourth and final season faltered with a disappointing 5-6, leading to his dismissal. Under Mullen, Florida consistently performed well, reaching a New Year’s Six bowl game and finishing in the top 15 of the Associated Press Top 25 Poll for three consecutive seasons from 2018 to 2020. The decision to fire Mullen after…

McLaren CEO Zak Brown has taken a swipe at Red Bull, implying that the team’s recent struggles might be linked to the absence of their legendary technical guru, Adrian Newey. “Adrian Newey, I bet it would be nice to have him around the conference room table right now, looking at how to improve the car…” Brown quipped, highlighting the impact of Red Bull’s recent high-profile departures.

This latest setback extends Verstappen’s…
