The car is like a go-kart: Max Verstappen bemoans Red Bull’s struggles in Monaco
The car is like a go-kart: Max Verstappen bemoans Red Bull’s struggles in MonacoBy Philip Duncan, PA F1 Correspondent, Monte CarloMax Verstappen said his all-conquering Red Bull turned into a go-kart after his record-equalling run of eight consecutive pole positions came to an end in Monaco. Charles Leclerc will start Sunday’s 78-lap race from the front of the pack after he held his nerve to qualify fastest for Ferrari ahead of McLaren’s Oscar Piastri. His Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez, nicknamed the King of the Streets after claiming five of his six career victories at temporary tracks, qualified only 18th. But Leclerc banged the barriers en route to taking pole in 2021, meaning he was unable to start the race. “As much as it helps, we need to put everything together for Sunday’s race.

The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas author: Don’t read novels for Holocaust facts
If you want the facts of the Holocaust, don’t read a novel, read a non-fiction work. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. “The historians would say: ‘Well, you know, this should not be used as a tool in studying the Holocaust.’ Of course, it shouldn’t be. It’s a novel, if you’re studying, use a wide range of things, read non-fiction. Boyne also called the abuse at Terenure “routine” and claimed there was “definitely a culture of violence in the school”.

French Open great Rafael Nadal refuses to rule out a Roland Garros return in 2025... as 14-time champion insists 'I'm not ready to go just yet'
Draper, 22, should still expect to get his first ever win at the French Open. Cam Norrie (No 32 seed) v Pavel Kotov (Rus, WR57) Kotov, 25, has had a good clay court season and will look to inflict damage with his booming forehand. Katie Boulter (No 26 seed) v Paula Badosa (Sp, WR 140) The British No 1 makes her main-draw debut. If Nadal is not yet ready to say goodbye to tennis, then tennis is also just as reluctant to bid farewell to him. If he gets past Nadal, Zverev, who won the Italian Open title last weekend, could be the one to take advantage in what, on the men’s side, is shaping up to be France’s most open Open for 20 years.
