“I am not even frustrated anymore,” said the disconsolate Red Bull driver. “I don’t know the right word in English for it. I don’t know what it is in Dutch either. I don’t know what to make of it to be honest. Red Bull driver Max Verstappen (Franck Robichon/AP)“You know how I think about a lot of the stuff, and I don’t need to mention it again.

The AFL has started preparing for the possibility that the fuel crisis will have a shocking impact on this season's play – with the possibility of clubs operating out of hubs raised at a high-level meeting. 'Kelli Underwood reporting on @abcsport that the fuel shortage was raised in the CEO's meeting earlier this week,' ABC reporter Ben Cameron tweeted. The fuel crisis has already resulted in Qantas slashing a number of flights through its budget arm, Jetstar. 'I'm wondering whether or not, as we get closer, and if the fuel prices continue to go up, some will bail,' Issko said. Unleaded petrol prices hit 252.2 cents per litre.

Photo by Stephen McCarthy/SportsfileHeimir Hallgrimsson has compared the ending of Ireland’s playoff defeat in Prague to a ‘car crash’ and feels Tuesday’s unwanted friendly with North Macedonia can be their opportunity to get behind the wheel and build confidence again.

Eight players have left the England camp following Friday's draw with Uruguay, including Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice. Three Lions boss Thomas Tuchel named a 35-man squad for this international camp, which is giving him one final look at players before he names the players he is taking to the World Cup, which he will do in May. Now, though, England have confirmed that a revised squad of 27 players will continue in camp ahead of their friendly against Japan on Tuesday. Fellow Gunner Noni Madueke, who left the field injured in the first-half against Uruguay, will also return to north London. Adam Wharton of Crystal Palace is also injured and leaving camp, having picked up an issue after coming on as a second-half substitute in the game.

Pope Leo XIV visited the cosmopolitan Mediterranean principality of Monaco on Saturday to encourage its people to use their Catholic faith and wealth for good. As a cannon boomed, Prince Albert and Princess Charlene met Leo at the Monaco heliport, just down the coast from the marina that is home to the megayachts of the rich and famous. It’s the first papal visit to Monaco since Pope Paul III came in 1538. But in refusing to allow it in Monaco, Albert joined other European Catholic royals who have taken a similar stand over the years to uphold Catholic doctrine on an increasingly secular continent. The son of the late American actress Grace Kelly, Albert spoke in perfect, unaccented English when he greeted Leo at the heliport.

All eyes were on Japan’s Breeders’ Cup Classic hero Forever Young before the race, having added to his Del Mar success when defending his Saudi Cup crown last month. Always to the fore in the hands of Jose Ortiz, the four-year-old never surrendered his position and although Forever Young fought hard to reel in his rival, Magnitude simply drew further clear as the winning post approached and the chasing pack wilted. Forever Young would go one place better than 12 months ago for second, with Simon and Ed Crisford’s Meydann sticking on for the bronze medal. While Asmussen was winning a second Dubai World Cup, it was a first for his jockey, who said: “I’m very happy and we knew we had a very good horse, but Forever Young is one of the best horses in the world and we had to respect that. “To win the Dubai World Cup is a dream come true.

Division 2 final: Laois 3-18 Kerry 0-13An early two-goal Laois salvo set them on the way to a comprehensive demolition of Kerry in this Division 2 hurling league final in Portlaoise on Saturday afternoon. Laois were fully deserving of their 14-point win but Kerry, minus a few starters, enjoyed a better second half and will find nothing of the quality of Laois in the Christy Ring Cup. That left the scoreline at 3-12 to 0-8 and that was that as Padraig Delaney and Aidan Corby drove Laois forward. J Brick (0-2), M Leane, T Doyle, M Slattery, and P Boyle (0-1).
