Monte Carlo: Last News

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. Before we get into all of that, how are you feeling? I gather that Crofty goes large in Monaco last night on the Red Bull energy station.

Charles Leclerc took pole for Ferrari after his own crash in 2021 brought an early end to the qualifying session but this year saw even more chaos, with three cars involved in accidents in the final minute of the session.Red Bull's Sergio Perez lost control and spun in the final corner before the tunnel section of the Monaco Grand Prix, hitting the barriers rear-end first and potentially damaging his rear box - with Carlos Sainz then involved in a similar incident seconds later that saw the Ferrari collide with the stationary Red Bull.That puts the Spaniard at risk of a reprimand as it's unclear whether he noticed yellow flags being waved and whether he went too fast under caution, which would result in a 10-place grid penalty after already being issued three reprimands this season.Elsewhere on the track, there was more drama in the final minute of qualifying as there was another accident that would have likely resulted in the session being ended prematurely.Alpine's Fernando Alonso went head-on into the barrier at Mirabeau in a frantic period of events in Monte Carlo, which is widely renowned for being extremely difficult to race around due to the extremely narrow circuit and wide Formula One cars.Leclerc sits alongside teammate Sainz on the front row of the grid, though that could change with a penalty, with Red Bull pair Perez and Max Verstappen on the second row - with the latter not quite finding the pace he would have liked in the session.HAVE YOUR SAY!

Formula One heads to a new venue that has aspirations of rivalling Monte Carlo as the crown jewel in the annual calendar.The road to Miami was not a smooth one, however, with plans for a downtown street race scrapped, while even using roads around the Hard Rock Stadium was problematic as fans expressed their concerns - eventually resulting in a semi-permanent, custom built circuit around the stadium itself.Landing a 10-year contract with F1, Miami is here to stay and is the first of two United States races on the calendar this year, with Austin once again hosting in a few months time, while Las Vegas will take the US tally of Grand Prix races to three when it makes it's own debut next year.Stephen M Ross is the man responsible for bringing Formula One to Miami, trying for years to get the race on the calendar and the using his ownership of the Hard Rock Stadium to play host to the event, finally bring the plans out of limbo and moving forward to put the city on the calendar.Born in Detroit in May 1940, Ross has a net worth of $7.7bn (£6.2bn) and founded The Related Companies, a global real estate company, in 1972.

Chelsea owner Ken Bates has blasted the impact of government’s sanctions against Roman Abramovich, joking that president Vladimir Putin would be “s****** himself” in response to the latest measures.Abramovich had his assets frozen in the UK after being sanctioned on March 10, forcing Chelsea to operate under a special sporting licence which limits what they can do.The Russian oligarch was in the process of selling the club, with several interested parties understood to be lining up bids, but those plans were brought to a grinding halt by the sanctions imposed on the Russian.Under the terms of the licence, European champions Chelsea cannot sell tickets or merchandise, buy or sell players, or offer new contracts until May 31 — leaving the club facing an uncertain future as they struggle to cope with their weekly costs.Bates bought Chelsea for £1 in 1982 before selling to Abramovich in July 2003 for around £140million, and the club have experienced a successful period under his ownership with 21 trophies in 19 years.And the 90-year-old, who now resides in tax haven Monte Carlo, was critical of the measures implemented that have left Chelsea potentially facing financial ruin. “The fact that you can't buy a Chelsea match programme must mean that Putin is s*****g himself and all the ordinary people of Moscow are hiding in their cellars because they can't see a Chelsea match on TV,” he told the Daily Mail.“As usual it is the ordinary people who are suffering.

Jeremy Clarkson, 61, was left heartbroken when his favourite London restaurant suddenly went into administration. He found out that The Wolseley in Mayfair, which is run by Jeremy King, is still open for business for now because the administration was "somehow technical".In his column for The Times, The Grand Tour host admitted the news shocked him to the core.He penned: "'Noooooo!' I wailed, while sinking to my knees and throwing my head back in anguish."London without the Wolseley would be like Sydney without the opera house or Cindy Crawford without that mole.

Jeremy Clarkson, 61, has revealed why glitzy Mayfair eatery The Wolseley is his favourite place to dine in London. Although the modern European cuisine is one of the factors that keeps Jeremy coming back, he declared “the main reason I like the Wolseley is the man who runs it”.Praising the restaurant’s boss, Jeremy King, the former Top Gear host claimed that his unique customer service involves giving the star a call to warn him about fellow guests who may cause him some awkwardness and ruin his dining experience.The TV personality said he’ll usually receive a call from King to help him avoid any run-ins with his ex-girlfriends, or former nemesis Piers Morgan.Jeremy and Piers had been embroiled in a feud that dated back to the former Good Morning Britain host’s time as editor of the Daily Mirror.Their bad blood escalated when Jeremy stormed over to Piers at the 2004 British Press Awards and punched him three times in the head.The pair then finally reconciled over a five hour drinking session at a pub in Kensington, west London in 2014.Writing about his love of the restaurant in his latest column for The Sunday Times, Jeremy explained: “There are many reasons I like this restaurant so much. “First, there’s always someone in there I know and can ignore. “Then there’s the temperature, which is always set at a level where it feels as if there’s no temperature at all.  “Then there’s the haddock Monte Carlo.
