Martin Brundle 'sent home' from a Monaco Grand Prix after marshal run over

LIVE – Updated at 17:55Sergio Perez has extended his Red Bull contract to 2024 after triumphing in a chaotic and thrilling Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday, when Charles Leclerc’s dreams of winning on home soil were shattered by his flat-footed Ferrari team. Leclerc navigated a rain-hit start – delayed by more than an hour following a deluge of rain just a dozen minutes before the lights were due to go out on Formula 1’s most famous race – to control the early stages. But the Monegasque’s race fell apart when Ferrari’s strategy was exposed by Red Bull.

Charles Leclerc had a printed map of the Monaco circuit in his cockpit for the Grand Prix.

Naomi Campbell and Heidi Klum are among the stars who flocked to Monaco for the Grand Prix this weekend, and they of course looked chic in the process. Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz were among the racers taking part in the Formula One event, but it was Mexican driver Sergio Perez who won on Sunday afternoon. The gripping race was watched by an A-list audience with supermodel Naomi, 52, arriving in a grey maxi dress, under which she went braless, teamed with grey Nike dunks. She was seen on the arm of billionaire businessman Ernesto Bertarelli after earlier relaxing on Sir Phillip Green’s superyacht Lionheart with her baby daughter. Fellow supermodel Heidi attended the event with her husband Tom Kaulitz, and stood out in a pink floral blouse and matching trousers while her other half matched her vibe wearing a striped shirt which he left unbuttoned.

Game Of Thrones stars Kit Harington, 35, and Rose Leslie, 35, were among celebrities at Sunday’s Monaco Grand Prix.The couple were in Monte Carlo to watch the race and support Kit’s brother, John, who is a member of the Red Bull team.  Upon their arrival at the Circuit de Monaco, Kit gave a rare insight into his family life with Rose and how he is finding things as a new parent.When asked by Sky Sports pundit Martin Brundle about any upcoming projects, the Jon Snow actor replied: "I've got a couple of films I'm going to do in the UK this year.In the interview, Kit also discussed his love of Formula One.He explained: “It’s a family thing, I've been watching it since I was knee-high and now my brother works at Red Bull.“So yeah, I’m a big Formula One fan.” Kit and Rose met on the set of Game Of Thrones and began dating in 2011.They played on-screen lovers, Jon Snow and wildling Ygritte, from season two until season four.They then married in 2018 at Rose’s family castle in Scotland.The ceremony was attended by their Game Of Thrones castmates including Emilia Clarke, Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams and Peter Dinklage.The couple confirmed the arrival of their baby boy in February 2021.Kit later spoke about fatherhood and what had surprised him most about raising a child.He told Access Hollywood last year: “I think the thing that's surprised me most is, you know, they tell you, 'Look, it's big.

Ferrari team that they 'cannot do that' after his woes in his home Grand Prix in Monaco continued.The Ferrari ace held pole position for the second year in a row but headed in 2022 with a sorry record of never finishing a race in the French principality throughout his racing career and, while that run would end, there was still further disappointment in Monte Carlo.Rain led to a delayed start and a change in race strategy across the grid, with Ferrari making the first move in the pits to change to dry tyres after calling both Leclerc and teammate Carlos Sainz into the pit at the same time.Leclerc came in after his teammate but, immediately after his entry to the pit lane, was told to stay out but the message came too late and Red Bull capitalised, performing an undercut to see Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen gaining places.Ferrari were unable to overhaul their rivals, with Leclerc suffering the pain of not securing a podium finish despite his pole position on the grid as he came home fourth - with Perez winning, Sainz coming in second and Verstappen third. Leclerc could not hide his disappointment following a weekend where he will have hoped to achieve a lot more and it was clear that he points the finger of blame towards his team."No words, no words.

Max Verstappen avoided a penalty in the Monaco Grand Prix for what appeared to be a clear infringement.The race in Monte Carlo was full of drama from start to finish, with the beginning of the race delayed due to heavy rain before eventually starting behind the safety car - and further drama was to follow.Ferrari, who started with Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz in first and second on the grid, held the lead in the race but were caught out by a Red Bull overcut in the pits.Leclerc was left furious with the pit call, screaming at his team over team radio, and, when Verstappen pitted later on, came out behind his title rival.However, pictures from the defending champion when he exited the pit lane appeared to show that he had crossed the yellow line and should have been handed what should have been a penalty for a rather obvious infringement.Race officials did not take any action against the championship leader, however, and it left many fans on social media scratching their heads - with @Julio_ziviani declaring: "Verstappen not investigated in his box exit.

Charles Leclerc was fuming at his team following their pit decision in a dramatic Formula One Grand Prix in Monaco.

Formula One officials are facing scrutiny once again following a decision that 'makes no sense' at the start of the Monaco Grand Prix. Rain prior to the opening led to a delayed start as teams quickly changed to wet weather tyres and it was announced that the race would start behind the safety car, with all 20 drivers on the F1 grid obligated to utilise full wet tyres rather than intermediates.That caused plenty of debate, with fans hoping for rain as it would make for a more exciting race, and many were left questioning why the decision was made for the race to start behind the safety car.Among those left scratching their heads was former Formula One driver Karun Chandhok, who posted on Twitter: "Safety car start??! I hope not! Martin Brundle is right (as usual) - makes no sense.

Max Verstappen has slammed his teammate Sergio Perez for his 'irritating' crash in Monaco qualifying and has suggested that drivers could use foul play to force a red flag in sessions. Saturday's qualifying session came to a premature end following a chaotic sequence of events in the final minute that saw three cars crash, with Perez losing control of his rear end in the final corner before the tunnel section and Carlos Sainz then did the same, hitting the stationary Red Bull.Elsewhere on the track, Alpine's Fernando Alonso put his car in the wall and the red flags were waved, denying Verstappen another lap and an opportunity to potentially improve on his fourth-place start for Sunday's race.That meant it was the second year in a row that the Monaco qualifying session has been brought to a close with a red flag, with Ferrari's Charles Leclerc crashing out last year - and his crash ensured he'd start on pole, though he ended up unable to start the race.Verstappen has suggested that drivers could utilise that tactic to preserve their ranking in the session, as there isn't any punishment for crashing out.“It is irritating and a pity of course that the one who put it in the wall was my teammate.

Conor McGregor has declared that 'something special is brewing' in the latest round of Formula One action in Monaco. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc is on pole for Sunday's race following a chaotic qualifying session that saw Sergio Perez, Carlos Sainz and Fernando Alonso all crash in the final minute.Two of the three rounds of qualifying were affected by a red flag and, with rain forecast for Monte Carlo on Sunday, it's set to be a thrilling contest as Leclerc resumes his battle for the title with Red Bull's Max Verstappen.The defending champion currently holds a narrow six-point lead over Leclerc in the standings but has struggled for pace across the Monaco weekend, sitting fourth on the grid for the race and being unable to match the pace shown by the Ferrari duo and teammate Perez.With the vast majority of Monaco winners coming from pole position, Leclerc is firmly placed as the favourite in his home Grand Prix but the rain will add a further challenge to the proceedings and McGregor believes that fans will see 'something special' in the French principality from an unlikely source."I'm here for Team Haas and I'm more confident after today's qualifying round.

Christian Horner called Sky Sports commentator David Croft out live on air following a boozy night out in Monaco on Friday evening.The glitz and glamour of Monaco take centre stage in Formula One this weekend with the Grand Prix in Monte Carlo, which saw a frantic few days kick-off on Friday with two practice sessions.It seems all the fun didn't stop at the end of the second practice session however, where Ferrari's Charles Leclerc was fastest, as Croft took in the fun of Monaco by attending a party at the Red Bull energy station.Croft may have hoped to have kept his antics under wraps from the general public but was not afforded that luxury as Horner threw him under the bus at the start of the third and final practice session on Saturday.Horner joined Sky Sports' coverage from the pit wall and was asked how his team's drivers, Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez, were feeling on the track with the modern era of Formula One cars appearing to pick up every bump that is present on the street circuit.However, Horner quickly diverted the conversation to the Friday night antics of the Sky Sports commentator and lifted the lid on what sounded like an entertaining night out in Monte Carlo."Good afternoon.
