Mercedes will try a new 'megaphone' type exhaust at a test in Barcelona this week as the debate over engine noise continues in Formula 1.

The introduction of V6 turbo hybrid engines, which have replaced the screaming V8s, has led to criticism the sport has lost some its appeal.

The 'megaphone' device is designed to address that criticism. "If the fans want to have more noise, then we'll go for it," says Mercedes motorsport head Toto Wolff.

"An old-fashioned pitch invasion greeted Manchester City's second title of the modern era, not a blade of grass unoccupied by a cavorting, beaming blue," writes Martin Samuel in the Daily Mail., external

"The surface cleared, the team reappeared to take a bow and collect their medals, with support staff impressively ushered to the fore. Fernandinho, wrapped in a Brazilian flag, jigged to This Charming Man by The Smiths.

"Noel Gallagher, 46, a City supporter from Longsight, Greater Manchester, summed it up. 'For City fans of a certain age, we'll never get used to this,' he said. 'The kids, they'll get used to it. But not us.'"

British clubs already looking forward to next season, despite the dust barely settling - and in some cases not yet concluded - on the current season.

Simon, Leeds, via text: Sunderland need to keep ahold of Gus Poyet!! Biggest priority!! Plus sign Alonso permanently and don't allow Larsson and Colback to leave on frees. Would love to keep Borini but that ain't going to happen!

BBC Sport's Pat Murphy: "A statement from Aston Villa is expected to be announced within an hour about the club's ownership. All the signs are that owner Randy Lerner is going to put the Premier League club up for sale. But any suggestion that a deal has already been done is wide of the mark."

Former England goalkeeper Peter Shilton believes Roy Hodgson is right to leave Chelsea left-back Ashley Cole out of his World Cup squad.

"I watched Luke Shaw come on in the last game at Wembley and he just looked like a Rolls Royce to me. He could do everything," says Shilton, who won 125 caps between 1970 and 1990.

" I think Roy is doing the right thing. He's looking to this World Cup and beyond and he is trying to build a young team with players that can only improve."

German driver Nico Rosberg says he is not about to crumble mentally after Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton recorded his fourth straight win.

Englishman Hamilton, world champion in 2008, took the championship lead with victory in Spain on Sunday and has won every race he has finished this year.

Rosberg, who finished a close second, said: "Break me down mentally? I think he will struggle with that one. He has the momentum. There is no way round that. I have to try to break it."

England's leading clubs will not allow players to take part in the Wales senior trial match, ahead of the summer tour to South Africa, later this month.

The availability of some Wales stars was already in doubt because the Premiership final takes place a day later.

Wales remain hopeful of reaching a deal over England-based players, while French clubs are also not obliged to make players available.

Germany's Martin Kaymer overcame a weather delay and a nervy finish to clinch a dramatic one-shot victory over Jim Furyk in the Players' Championship at Sawgrass.

Kaymer had held a three-shot lead on the 14th when play was suspended for 90 minutes because of a thunderstorm.

He double bogeyed the 15th but a superb curling 29-foot par putt on the 17th and par on the last saw him post a one-under 71 to win on 13 under.

Former Wales midfielder Robbie Savage has been taking a closer look at the way Manchester City pipped Liverpool to the Premier League title.

Savage picks out Yaya Toure as City's star man, with the Ivorian midfield powerhouse finishing as their top league scorer with 20 goals.

But, as good as he has been, Toure is not the only reason City are champions, says Savage. "Players like Martin Demichelis, Edin Dzeko and Joe Hart, who were unpopular, out of favour or out of form earlier in the campaign, have emerged to make the difference."

England will begin their bid to regain the Ashes, which they lost in spectacular fashion earlier this year, in Cardiff when Australia return in 2015.

Cardiff's Swalec Stadium will host the opening Test of the five-match series - as it did in 2009 when England's last pair James Anderson and Monty Panesar clung on for a famous draw on the final day of a gripping Ashes encounter.

Lord's, Edgbaston, Trent Bridge and The Kia Oval will also stage Test matches as England bid for a fourth successive home Ashes series following their previous triumphs in 2005, 2009 and 2013.

While Manchester City bask in their glory, things have been gloomy across the city at Old Trafford. Manchester United have suffered a stinker of a season, David Moyes coming and going, as the defending champions limped home in seventh place - and without European football next season for the first time in 25 years.

But the Red Devils are already focusing on next season it appears. BBC Sport's Dan Roan reports that United have made a £27m bid for Southampton defender Luke Shaw.

Let's start by recapping Manchester City's Premier League success. After becoming champions for the second time in three seasons, the Blues are targeting an era of dominance in English football.

"Big teams cannot be satisfied with one title," said triumphant boss Manuel Pellegrini. "This club and players deserve more titles."

City captain Vincent Kompany, who scored the second goal against West Ham, added: "We are not a team that wins trophies every now and again. If you want to be a big club this must be one of so many."

Before get stuck into that little lot, we want to hear from you. There's no shortage of talking points today, so while you excitedly chatter with your workmates about the weekend's sporting action, make sure you tell us what you're thinking too.

If you want to talk about Manchester City, the Premier League season as whole, England's World Cup squad, Lewis Hamilton's early dominance of the Formula 1 season, the floor is wide open.

While those England hopefuls celebrate or drown their sorrows, nothing will wipe the smile from the faces of Manchester City players, staff and supporters today. There will be a few sore heads around Greater Manchester and beyond after the Blues secured their second Premier League title in three seasons with a routine 2-0 win against West Ham United on Sunday.

So we will also be focusing heavily on City's success over the next 10 hours or so, bringing you plenty of reaction and analysis.

Today is D-Day for Roy Hodgson. Well, sort of. The England boss has already made his decision of which 23 players (plus seven standby players) will make up his World Cup squad. But at 14:00 BST his selection will be announced to the world.

We already know that England veteran Ashley Cole will be sat on a beach when the Three Lions take on Italy, Uruguay and Costa Rica next month, but what about the rest? Will there be any surprise inclusions? Or shock omissions? You will find out here on Sportsday.
