Following the announcement that he is to leave Arrows, Damon Hill test-drives for the Green Stripe team, who will be competing in next season's Formula One World Lawnmower Championship. Hill fears there may be some cutting remarks about his new career, but sees his move as the "lawn of a new era".

Alternatively this may be a photograph of Ryan Tripp, aged 12, driving a lawn mower in Oxford, Maine. He has driven it for more than 2,000 miles since leaving his home in Utah last month. He is on his way to Washington DC, where he is hoping to mow the White House lawn after breaking the world record distance for a lawn mower ride. Photograph: David McLain/AP
