Liverpool supporter claims he was attacked by a needle-wielding gang after the Reds’ defeat in the Champions League final, in Paris.Brad Young says he and his mates were set upon by locals on the way out of the Stade de France on May 28, with their trip to the French capital turning into a nightmare, the Liverpool Echo reports.Fortune had smiled on the 24-year-old from Belfast after he won tickets in a competition, but lucky was the last thing he felt after revealing he and his pals were “hunted” on the Parisian streets.He and his friends travelled to Paris and said the atmosphere in the Liverpool fan zone was “brilliant” before the match.They said they managed to avoid some of the worst scenes outside the ground before the game, as thousands of Liverpool fans were forced into dangerously small areas before being targeted with pepper spray and tear gas by French police.But it was after the match that the mood inside the stadium shifted.Brad said: “It was a strange atmosphere inside the stadium, there were so many empty seats and then there were lots of locals suddenly coming in to our section, we didn’t know what was going on.“When we left after the game it turned so sour so quickly. We walked into clouds of tear gas and the police were hitting fans who weren’t moving, but they couldn’t physically move.”After escaping from the stadium, Brad said he became aware of large numbers of local people and gangs who appeared to be targeting Liverpool fans as they tried to make their way back to their hotels.He added: “It felt like they were hunting us, they were running up and shouting in our faces, suddenly lots of fans started sprinting away.

Todd Phillips has written the next chapter in the Clown Prince of Crime's gritty, brutal tale of chaos and discord.Phillips took to Instagram on Tuesday to confirm that his Oscar-winning 2019 film is getting a sequel, penned by himself and Scott Silver — who also co-wrote the first film.Phillips shared a pair of snapshots, beginning with a pic of the script's cover page, revealing the sequel is tentatively titled A post shared by Todd Phillips (@toddphillips)The second snapshot in the slideshow was an artistic black-and-white candid pic of star Joaquin Phoenix -- who earned his Oscar for playing the title character — reading the script over while smoking a cigarette.The first — which was originally imagined as a standalone drama set in the universe but outside the cannon of the comics or the film adaptations — was set in the early '80s, and followed the mentally unstable failed clown Arthur Fleck as he spiraled into madness and sparked a violent riot in the city of Gotham.Not much is known about the plot of Phillips' forthcoming follow-up, outside of the title. Folie à Deux is a term that means a shared delusion or nearly identical mental disorder that presents in two different people.Whether the title refers to Joker's famously disturbed relationship with Batman or possibly his notoriously unhealthy relationship with love interest Harley Quinn remains to be seen.

Lewis Hamilton is 'relaxed' ahead of the Barcelona Grand Prix despite his team's ongoing woes this season and his mammoth deficit in the championship standings.

Lewis Hamilton by 'welcoming' him to the Formula One midfield amid his ongoing struggles with Mercedes.The seven-time world champion has been unable to compete at the front of the grid in 2022, with Mercedes being well off the pace of rivals Ferrari and Red Bull.Hamilton has encountered the most problems, finishing behind teammate George Russell in each of the last four race weekends and seems highly unlikely to be able to win a record-breaking eighth world title this season. That's something that two-time champion Alonso knows all about, having seen his attempts for success following his mid-2000's period with Renault fall flat, and he explained it's a situation that the Brit may not hold any blame for finding himself in."This is the nature of the sport. Sometimes you have a better car, sometimes you have not such a good car and you still need to fight and make some progress.

Lando Norris has explained where Mercedes have the 'best car' on the grid despite the team's ongoing struggles in the 2022 season.The eight-time consecutive constructor's champions have been unable to keep pace with rivals Red Bull and Ferrari this season, with Mercedes encountering numerous 'porpoising' issues since the recent round of regulation changes. Lewis Hamilton has particularly struggled, finishing behind teammate George Russell in each of the last four races, with both drivers being critical of the vehicle they've been given and pushing for improvements - with an upgrade package set to be introduced for the upcoming Barcelona Grand Prix.However, amid all those issues, Norris has declared that Mercedes have one of the 'best cars on the grid' when it comes to mastering low-speed corners when speaking after the Miami Grand Prix."This track has a lot of slow-speed corners, and Mercedes have been one of the best cars on the grid in slow-speed since day one.

Formula One for the years ahead and the next generation of the motorsport, which is due to see engine changes from 2026.New regulations that year will make engines more reliant on electric power and reduce the sport's carbon dioxide omissions as part of a long-term plan to make F1 carbon neutral.That transition could lead to the departure of well-established teams or the introduction of new ones, while experienced drivers like Lewis Hamilton are expected to have called time on their illustrious careers.For Mercedes, Hamilton's retirement and the new engine regulations will come amid a larger period of transition from the team who have won numerous titles with the British driver at the wheel - including each of the last eight Constructor's Championships.Signs of change have shown this year, with Mercedes unable to compete with the likes of Red Bull and Ferrari following the most recent regulation changes, which have raised questions on the team's future and where Hamilton's head lies.While it remains to be seen whether Hamilton will continue with the team beyond this season, Mercedes chairman Ola Kallenius has pledged the Mercedes brand will remain on the grid when speaking at the Financial Times Future of the Car Summit.“We have decided to go down this path of decarbonisation. It is the only decision we can make, and the same goes for Formula 1.

LIVE – Updated at 17:11Follow live news and reaction as Formula One takes in the results of the inaugural Miami Grand Prix, where Max Verstappen held off a late charge from Charles Leclerc to win and close the gap to the Ferrari driver at the top of the championship standings. All the focus is now to Spain next week, with the Spanish Grand Prix at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. Verstappen has now won the last two races, with Red Bull responding to Ferrari’s fast start and now threatening to leave their rivals behind.

Lewis Hamilton has questioned Mercedes' team strategy following the Miami Grand Prix, as he was left frustrated by the team's questions on the radio following the safety car.Lando Norris' crash with Pierre Gasly saw the pack brought together under the safety car, which worked in favour of Hamilton's Mercedes teammate George Russell as he was able to have a cheap pit stop, but Mercedes were unsure of what to do with the seven-time champion.Race engineer Peter Donnington asked Hamilton whether he wished to take on new tyres behind the safety car, which resulted in the British driver asking why he was being posed that question and stating 'that's your job' to the pit wall.While the race represented an improvement for Hamilton, who finished outside the points in Imola but came in sixth in Miami, the experienced driver spoke about the race about the team's strategy and questioned the approach to serve further evidence of his growing frustration with the team.“In that scenario, I have no clue where everyone is, so when the team say ‘it is your choice’, I don’t have the information to make the decision,” he said following the race's conclusion in Miami.“That’s what your job is. Make the decision for me as you have all the details and I don’t.

Jeremy Clarkson, 62, gave his opinion on Lewis Hamilton’s recent disappointing finish in his latest column.Speaking about the Imola Grand Prix in Italy, which took place in April, Jeremy was critical of Lewis' performance.Jeremy said Lewis “qualified badly”, adding that he “spent most of the race at the back of the field, trying and failing to get past someone who was driving what was basically a Morris Marina”.The car enthusiast revealed that, while Lewis’ boss and some commentators had blamed his car for his performance, Jeremy pointed out that his younger Mercedes team-mate George Russell, “soundly” beat him by coming in at fourth position.The Clarkson's Farm presenter claimed that George’s car was “worse” than Lewis’ had been, and was not equally as problematic, as had been previously suggested.The former Top Gear host explained that the Mercedes team “forgot” to change the set-up of George’s car.Damon Hill, the 1996 Formula One World Champion, had a different viewpoint and recently said Lewis had not been “humiliated” by George, although Lewis has been falling behind his team-mate this season.Damon described Lewis as being “a little unlucky”.The multiple champion only managed a 13th place-finish at Imola.Jeremy hasn’t been reserving his anger just for Lewis lately, as he has also been making comments aimed at Amal Clooney in the same column for The Sun.The star of Amazon Prime Video show Clarkson’s Farm said he had assumed the barrister to be a “drippy human rights loony”.He had also thought of her as only having a platform “to get her lefty messages across” because she is married to George Clooney.Despite these assumptions, he did say Amal has “the most beautiful voice I’ve ever heard” when he found himself

Mercedes teammate George Russell, former world champion Damon Hill has declared.The seven-time champion has endured a nightmare start to the 2022 season with Mercedes struggling following the latest round of regulation changes, finishing outside the points last time out at Imola in what was a disastrous weekend for the Brit.However, despite Mercedes' woes, Russell has found consistency in the car with top-five finishes in each of his four races since joining the team, while he's finished ahead of his teammate in each of the last three rounds of racing.That has seen Hamilton come under significant scrutiny, with questions regarding his long-term future and whether his title defeat to Max Verstappen last season has hit his confidence - with the chances of a record-breaking eighth world title looking like a pipe dream.With Hamilton facing criticism and scrutiny, with comparisons made to his form and Russell's, Hill believes that such a view is not showing the full picture, with Hamilton not being fortunate in his endeavours so far in the 2022 campaign."He's [Russell] done an absolutely brilliant job and is looking strong. I think Lewis has been a little unlucky and I think he's been delving around and [has] been happy to play the guy who tries the experimental setup for Mercedes a bit because he's got more experience with them," he told the F1 Nation podcast."So perhaps he's gone the wrong way sometimes and that has made him look worse off than he really is against George, but George is definitely doing a sterling job – and I think that's a very firm foundation for him going forward.

Lewis Hamilton this season, insisting that his compatriot has 'not lost it' despite his Mercedes woes.Hamilton finished outside the points last time out in Imola and the seven-time champion has finished behind teammate George Russell in each of the last three races, with his partner maintaining top-five finishes in each of the four races this term.Mercedes' poor car performance and Hamilton's inability to get the best out of his drives has raised questions as to whether the legendary driver is past his best and whether he could soon depart the grid, having been agonisingly beaten by Red Bull's Max Verstappen to the title last season. However, Button has warned against that sort of belief and his backing his former teammate to bounce back in the upcoming races.

Toto Wolff has issued a lifeline to Lewis Hamilton after confirming that the team are rolling out improvements for this weekend's Miami Grand Prix, which they hope will revitalise their season.The German outfit have won eight Constructor's Championships in a row but have endured a woeful start to the new season, with the Silver Arrows unable to maintain the pace with Ferrari and Red Bull - who are in danger of pulling out of reach.Seven-time world champion Hamilton has particularly struggled, finishing outside the points last time out at Imola and unable to find the pace in the car that teammate George Russell has, raising questions as to whether his time on the grid will be coming to an end.Mercedes' issues this season have come amid an inability to solve the 'porpoising' problems that leaves the car bouncing at high speed and while others have also encountered similar issues, the likes of Ferrari have still been able to maintain a blistering pace. That's left Hamilton out of the picture for the title fight and Mercedes looking likely to cede their crown unless a remarkable comeback can be achieved, with Toto Wolff confirming that lessons have been learned and there are improvements on the cards.“Since we returned from Italy, we've learned as much from the weekend as we can and, in parallel, our learning has continued in the wind tunnel and simulations.
