PUBLISHED: 12:08 09 April 2018 | UPDATED: 14:27 09 April 2018 Sophie Morton Junction of Green Street and Barking Road, Upton Park - Champions statue at the junction. Archant Bobby Moore is staying put - for now. A discussion on the future of the Champions Statue, in Upton Park, had been listed for discussion at a cabinet meeting on Thursday. That meeting has now been cancelled, meaning the current administration cannot vote on whether to move the statue or not. Councillor Veronica Oakeshott, who has been involved with the campaign for more than two years, said she was “delighted”. “The legal advice I’ve got is that a decision cannot be made now we’re in purdah [the pre-election period],” she added. And it seems that no matter who is elected next month, the statue is likely to remain in place for at least the next four years. Labour’s mayoral candidate, Councillor Rokhsana Fiaz, has previously pledged to keep the statue where it is … [Read more...] about Champions Statue to remain in Upton Park after meeting to discuss its future is cancelled

FIA calls urgent meeting with F1 Tech Chiefs to discuss overtaking concerns
The FIA has called an urgent meeting with Formula 1 technical chiefs in Bahrain this weekend to discuss ways on improving overtaking in the sport following a disappointing Australian Grand Prix. There were very few opportunities for drivers to pass at Albert Park last month, and drivers like Max Verstappen and Valtteri Bottas were left following supposedly slower cars, with the Aston Martin Red Bull Racing driver unable to find a way ahead of Fernando Alonso, while the Mercedes AMG Petronas Motorsport driver was stuck behind Nico Hülkenberg. The backlash from Australia has seen the sports governing body call the meeting to discuss options on how to improve the racing, particularly when it comes to drivers being able to get close enough to the car in front to be able to make an attempt on an overtake. Any rule tweaks need to be ratified before the end of April to be able to be … [Read more...] about FIA calls urgent meeting with F1 Tech Chiefs to discuss overtaking concerns

Zetsche added that he’s “open for everything” that serves BAIC’s interests. “The bottom line is Li Shufu’s stakeholding offers many new chances”.
