Michael Schumacher’s nephew David and his wife Vivien have announced they are expecting their first child together following their marriage in February.
The racing driver, son of six-time Formula 1 race-winner Ralf Schumacher, shared the news via social media.
His spouse, a former competitor in the W Series and Formula 3 under her maiden name Vivien Keszthelyi, featured in an Instagram photograph alongside baby booties and a teddy bear.
Social media announcement
The couple revealed the pregnancy against a mountainous backdrop in a post shared with their combined following of over 150,000 fans.
“Love made us two, life is making us three.”
The joyful news arrives during a highly celebratory period for the wider German motorsport dynasty.
Recent family milestones
Just two months ago, David’s father Ralf married his partner Etienne in a ceremony held in Saint-Tropez.
The 49-year-old became one of the most high-profile motorsport figures to come out as gay when he confirmed the relationship.
His former wife Cora, who separated from the six-time Grand Prix winner in 2014, publicly offered her congratulations to the newlyweds.
Maintaining a private life
This string of positive personal updates provides a bright moment for a family that has fiercely guarded its privacy for more than a decade.
Michael Schumacher, the legendary seven-time world champion, sustained life-altering head injuries during a skiing accident in December 2013.
The 55-year-old Ferrari icon continues to receive round-the-clock care from a dedicated medical team at his home near Lake Geneva in Switzerland.
A 24-year-old footballer has died and 12 others have been injured after a lightning bolt hit a stadium during a cup match in southern Thailand.
Sofwan Awae was struck on the pitch at the Santiphap Stadium in the town of Sungai Golok on Tuesday during a Golok FA Cup tie.
The freak incident brought an abrupt halt to the match between Abu x Nong Sirin and SAMCOLT as a massive electrical discharge hit the playing surface.
Team-mates and medical staff frantically rushed to perform emergency resuscitation on the stricken player, but they were ultimately unable to save his life.
Police confirm severe casualties
Local authorities verified that a dozen other individuals sustained injuries from the blast and were immediately transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Sungai Golok police chief Thun Sirikhunt provided a solemn update on the tragic events following the stadium evacuation.
“Although the emergency medical team made every effort to save him, the victim succumbed to severe injuries sustained in the incident.”
Video footage of the immediate aftermath has circulated widely online, showing fellow competitors attempting to help the 24-year-old before emergency services arrived.
Football community mourns tragedy
The Football Association of Thailand expressed deep sorrow over the sudden loss of the young athlete during a sanctioned fixture.
“The association joins in mourning this loss and offers its condolences to the family, those involved and the football club during this time of sorrow.”
Yala FC, who recently signed the promising talent, also released a statement paying tribute to their new acquisition.
“We extend our condolences to the family of our new FC Yala player, Sofwan Awae.”
History of fatal weather events
This devastating event echoes a notorious 1998 tragedy in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where an entire team of 11 players died following a similar stadium lightning strike.
According to the Thai Department of Disease Control, fatal lightning strikes remain a significant and persistent hazard across the region.
Official statistics show that extreme weather phenomena claimed 283 lives in Thailand between 2020 and 2024, with the vast majority of victims dying instantly.

United seek defensive reinforcements
Meanwhile, Manchester United have identified United States international Robinson as a more affordable alternative to Newcastle United defender Lewis Hall.
The Old Trafford club are expected to switch their focus to the Fulham left-back if a planned £60m bid for Hall is firmly rejected by the Magpies.
Prising the American away from Craven Cottage would require a significantly lower fee than acquiring the highly rated St James’ Park youngster.
Paris St-Germain target Chelsea prospect
In France, Paris St-Germain are weighing up an ambitious £75m approach for Chelsea right-back Malo Gusto.
Ligue 1 head coach Luis Enrique has reportedly welcomed the idea of recruiting the former Lyon defender to provide elite competition for Achraf Hakimi.
A high-profile switch could materialise given the necessity for the West London club to offload squad members to comply with strict Financial Fair Play regulations.
Arsenal prepare fresh bid for Konsa
Arsenal are preparing an improved offer for Aston Villa centre-back Ezri Konsa after having an initial bid rejected.
The north London side have monitored the 28-year-old closely throughout the summer, although the Midlands club had originally hoped to secure him to a lucrative contract extension.
With a transfer valuation set at £60m, the former Brentford defender remains heavily sought after following an impressive 47 appearances across all competitions last season.
Forest fighting to retain Gibbs-White
Nottingham Forest are desperate to retain attacking midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White despite mounting interest from top European clubs.
Bayern Munich have identified the 26-year-old playmaker as a potential replacement for Michael Olise, should the French winger depart the Allianz Arena.

Real Madrid progress in contract talks
Finally, Real Madrid have made significant progress in negotiations over a new contract for star forward Vinicius Junior.
The Spanish giants presented an improved offer on Wednesday as they look to secure the long-term future of the prolific Brazilian international.
Unseeded Dutchman Tallon Griekspoor has produced a stunning upset by defeating top seed Alexander Zverev at the Canadian Open.
The 28-year-old delivered a career-defining performance to eliminate the tournament favourite in a thrilling ATP Masters 1000 encounter.
Zverev arrived at the prestigious hard-court event expecting to challenge for the title but ultimately struggled to find his rhythm against a highly determined opponent.
A landmark victory for the Dutchman
This remarkable triumph marks one of the most significant victories of the Haarlem native’s professional tennis career.
He consistently neutralised the powerful serving of his German rival while executing aggressive baseline winners of his own to dictate play.
The unexpected early exit serves as a major setback for the current world number four as he finalises his preparations for the upcoming US Open.
Tournament bracket opens up
With the primary contender now eliminated, the remaining players in the draw will sense a genuine opportunity to claim the coveted trophy.
Griekspoor advances to the next round with immense confidence and momentum.
The unseeded giant-killer will undoubtedly be viewed as a highly dangerous threat by all of his future opponents in the tournament.
Barcelona forward Ferran Torres has fuelled speculation over his future by welcoming interest from Paris St-Germain during a promotional tour in the United States.
The 26-year-old will return to Catalonia later this month having cemented his status in Spanish football folklore with an extra-time winner to seal the World Cup against Argentina.
However, a summer of international celebration has quickly given way to intense transfer speculation regarding his club career.
Uncertainty surrounds Nou Camp future
Torres is under contract with the Catalan giants until June 2027, but his recent media appearances have cast doubt on his long-term commitment.
When asked what Barcelona must do to retain his services, the forward delivered a pointed message to the club hierarchy.
“Show me they want me, come to negotiate.”
The Spain international further inflamed the situation when questioned directly about reported interest from French champions Paris St-Germain.
“Every time these teams want you it’s a good thing. You never know because in football everything can change in one minute, so I have to be ready for everything.”
Frustration mounts among supporters
These comments have frustrated sections of the Barcelona fanbase, who feel the player is publicly attempting to strengthen his negotiating position.
Supporters have been particularly critical given the former Manchester City attacker has struggled to establish himself as an undisputed starter since his arrival in 2022.
Despite the growing media circus, Barcelona officials reportedly remain calm regarding the situation.
Club maintain relaxed stance ahead of talks
The club intends to hold formal discussions with the World Cup winner when he reports for pre-season training on 12 August.
While not a guaranteed starter under manager Hansi Flick last season, he still managed a respectable return of 21 goals and three assists in 49 appearances.
For now, the player insists he is purely focused on making a decision that will ensure his happiness as he enters the prime years of his career.
Arsenal are preparing a renewed bid for Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa this summer as winger Gabriel Martinelli weighs up a potential departure from the Emirates Stadium.
Mikel Arteta’s side have already enjoyed a prolific summer transfer window.
The Premier League champions recently secured Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimaraes in a landmark £75m deal.
However, the north London club’s spending shows no signs of slowing down ahead of the new season.
Konsa targeted to cover Saliba absence
Aston Villa are bracing for a fresh approach for Konsa after rejecting an initial offer.
The Midlands club currently value the 28-year-old at approximately £60m.
Arteta is desperate for defensive reinforcements following a long-term injury to William Saliba.
Konsa’s versatility makes him an attractive proposition, with the defender capable of operating at both centre-back and right-back.
Villa are under no immediate financial pressure to sell, having recently generated funds through the departure of Morgan Rogers.
Martinelli weighs up European options
Meanwhile, Martinelli could be heading for the exit door before the window closes.
The Brazilian’s playing time is under threat as Arsenal reportedly pursue his international team-mate Vinicius Junior.
With just one year remaining on his current contract, the 25-year-old has attracted attention from Roma, Juventus and Fenerbahce.
Despite the mounting interest, the lightning-fast forward will not rush into a decision regarding his next destination.
However, a lucrative move to the Saudi Pro League has been categorically ruled out.
Al-Nassr had shown considerable interest in the player, but he is currently unwilling to relocate to the Middle East.
Squad depth building for Community Shield
The Gunners have moved decisively to build a formidable squad ahead of their Community Shield clash with Manchester City on 16 August.
Alongside Guimaraes, the club’s hierarchy have negotiated a £34.5m deal for defender Piero Hincapie.
Goalkeeper Illan Meslier has also arrived on a free transfer to provide essential backup.
Furthermore, Christos Tzolis was signed for £34m as a direct replacement for Leandro Trossard.
Lionel Messi scored twice on his return from the World Cup as Inter Miami recovered from an early deficit to beat Atletico de San Luis 4-2 in their opening match of the 2026 Leagues Cup.
The visitors took a surprise fourth-minute lead in Miami when David Rodriguez headed past goalkeeper Rocco Rios Novo.
However, the advantage was short-lived as the Argentina captain quickly equalised with a superb volley.
Meeting Noah Allen’s cross from the left flank, the talismanic forward redirected the ball into the net while running at full speed.
Record-breaking return for Miami captain
Allen then turned provider for a second time midway through the first half, slipping a precise through ball behind the opposition defence.
Telasco Segovia benefited from the creative play, powering a shot home to give the Florida outfit the lead.
The hosts extended their advantage before the break following another intricate attacking move orchestrated by Allen.
Finding space in the penalty area, the former Parisian evaded two defenders before burying a close-range strike past Andres Sanchez.
That finish established the World Cup runner-up as the all-time leading goalscorer in Leagues Cup history with 14 goals.
He surpasses Denis Bouanga at the top of the standings, securing his fifth multi-goal performance in just 12 appearances in the competition.
Suarez absent as Allen shines
Micael added a fourth for Miami with a towering header from a corner just before half-time.
A torrential downpour caused a delay in the second half, during which Sergio scored a spectacular long-range effort to reduce the deficit for the visitors.
Despite late pressure from the away side, Miami held firm to secure a comfortable victory in their tournament opener.
The victory was somewhat marred by an apparent arm injury to second-half substitute Mateo Silvetti, who was forced off in the 83rd minute.
Miami were also playing without veteran striker Luis Suarez, who is currently serving a six-match ban.
The Uruguayan international was suspended for spitting at a Seattle Sounders staff member following his team’s defeat in the 2025 Leagues Cup final.
Inter Miami will next face Monterrey on Saturday, while San Luis are scheduled to play Nashville SC on Sunday.
Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks has agreed a three-year contract extension worth $73m to remain with the NBA franchise through the 2029-30 season.
The fully guaranteed agreement secures a vital piece of the roster who has helped establish a hard-nosed, two-way culture under head coach Jordan Ott.
His agent, Mike George of Klutch Sports, confirmed the lucrative long-term commitment on Wednesday night.
Catalyst for defensive transformation
The veteran defensive specialist played a crucial role in transforming the Arizona team’s fortunes last season.
Operating as the primary wing defender, he helped elevate the team’s defensive ranking from 27th overall in the 2024-25 campaign to ninth last year.
Offensive production also surged, with the versatile forward averaging a career-high 20.2 points during the regular season.
That scoring output increased further during a first-round playoff defeat against the Oklahoma City Thunder, where he averaged an impressive 26.0 points.
Ownership commits to luxury tax
Suns owner Mat Ishbia has demonstrated a clear willingness to enter the luxury tax threshold to preserve continuity following a surprise post-season run.
Chief executive Josh Bartelstein and general manager Brian Gregory spent recent weeks negotiating the terms to keep their pivotal stopper on the roster.
This latest move forms part of a wider retention strategy that includes multi-year deals for Collin Gillespie, Mark Williams, and Jordan Goodwin.
The franchise has also bolstered their options for the upcoming campaign by acquiring Miles Bridges and Luke Kennard.
Having reached the playoffs in five of his past six seasons, the experienced competitor will now look to drive his current squad deeper into the post-season bracket.
