When someone's driving drives you crazy | We all know the feeling when we're getting to work and someone decides to seek us out to annoy us. Tottenham's Victor Wanyama though is quite ecstatic here, having scored against Huddersfield in their premier league clash.

Smiling one | Jose Mourinho is a different man when he's not along the field. He was spotted enjoying a few hours of football as Fulham took on Everton in London.

Sharp focus | It's all about speed for the drivers at the Chinese GP as glory and a shot at making it to the history books in F1's 1000th race will wait for no one.

Surface tension | American swimmer Caeleb Dressel managed to swim a lifetime best in the 200 free during day four of the TYR Pro Swim Series in Richmond, Virginia. He swam his first 2 events, the 200 IM and 50 breast, on Saturday, but skipped the 100 free.
