LIVE – Updated at 08:20The Azerbaijan Grand Prix is fast approaching, with Formula One back on its worldwide travels after back-to-back races in Europe of late. Red Bull and Ferrari still lead the way after Sergio Perez’s triumph in Monaco, but Max Verstappen now leads the driver standings after just one podium finish for Charles Leclerc since he won the Australian Grand Prix in April.

Formula 1 star Sergio Perez has issued a grovelling public apology to his wife after videos emerged of him partying with a bunch of mystery women following his win at the Monaco Grand Prix last weekend.In a series of potentially problematic clips, the Red Bull driver was seen getting up close and personal with a brunette and dancing with his arms around a blonde on what appeared to be a yacht.Taking to Instagram on Friday, Perez said he takes "full responsibility" for his actions during what he describes as "a bad party" and happily insists that his relationship with wife Carola Martinez is better than ever."I have seen the videos that have been circulating about me and I take responsibility for it. It was a bad party that I didn't know how to control at the height of the person that I am, but it was just that, a very bad party," the Mexican wrote."People close to me know my values and the type of person that I am.

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.

Red Bull driver claimed his first win of the 2022 Formula One season in Monaco as he crossed the line ahead of Ferrari's Carlos Sainz and reigning champion Max Verstappen.

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.

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

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.

Charles Leclerc should be handed a 'drastic' punishment after the Ferrari driver missed the FIA weighbridge during qualifying for the Monaco Grand Prix.In his home Grand Prix, Leclerc secured pole position for the second year in a row following a chaotic qualifying that ended prematurely after three cars crashed in the final minute of the session.Sergio Perez lost control of his Red Bull in the final corner before the tunnel section in Monaco, with Ferrari's Carlos Sainz then hitting him while he was stationary - and Alpine's Fernando Alonso hit the barrier elsewhere on the circuit.While Leclerc has predominantly been the fastest across the weekend, it wasn't a day without incident for the championship hopeful as he missed a message ordering him to attend the FIA weighbridge during Q2 and had to be pushed back by his Ferrari team.Leclerc would have been handed a significant punishment had he made his way to the Ferrari garage, with previous infringements seeing drivers start the race in the pit lane, but he escaped such punishment after the quick action from his team.However, Marko believes that shouldn't have been the case and that Leclerc should have been issued a 'drastic' punishment when speaking to Austrian outlet ORF, saying: "If you punish this consistently, as you do in the junior classes, then there will be a drastic penalty."He drove by. They didn't change the car, but according to the regulations, it should be a penalty.

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! Should Carlos Sainz be reprimanded following his crash? Comment below.Verstappen currently has a narrow six-point lead in the hunt for the championship following three consecutive victories in Imola, Miami and Barcelona, though it's Leclerc's Ferrari that seems to

Formula One driver Martin Brundle has recalled a remarkable story that led to him being 'sent home' from a Monaco Grand Prix after missing a weigh bridge. F1 officials regularly call cars and their drivers to be weighed in the pit lane during qualifying sessions, to ensure they are not breaching the strict regulations, and significant penalties can be issued if a driver doesn't adhere to the instructions.

LIVE – Updated at 16:02 Lap-by-lap report: Can Max Verstappen reel in Charles Leclerc’ at the top of the championship and will Lewis Hamilton finally get going? Join Alex hess now. And here’s Sergio Perez: “I have been feeling a lot of support this weekend so I am extremely happy to be on the podium for the first time in the Spanish Grand Prix. I think it was close but at the end it is a great team result and I am happy with that.

Red Bull team order to relinquish his lead in the Barcelona Grand Prix to teammate Max Verstappen 'unfair'.The Mexican driver took the lead in Catalonia after capitalising on issues for the rest of his rivals, with Verstappen spinning and suffering with DRS issues, Carlos Sainz also spinning and Charles Leclerc forced into retirement following a loss of power. Perez was a valiant assistant to Verstappen in his title-winning campaign last season and has often had to cede position to his teammate, although the fact that orders came so early in the season raised questions.The experienced driver didn't hide his feelings on the matter when informed of the order from his team and questioned the decision, saying: "That's very unfair, but OK."Verstappen went on to win the race and Perez came in second, sending Red Bull top of the constructors' standings and seeing the Milton Keynes-based side secure their second one-two finish in three races.With Verstappen now top of the Drivers; Championship and Red Bull leading the way in the constructors', it may seem that all is well for Christian Horner's men but Perez was understandably aggrieved.“Yes, I think it was close.

Max Verstappen was audibly furious during the Barcelona Grand Prix due to intermittent DRS issues that saw him rant over the team radio on numerous occasions during his battle with George Russell.The Red Bull mechanics were working on Verstappen's rear wing prior to the start of the race due to an issue with DRS but were confident the issue was resolved prior to the start - though that proved to not be the case.Starting second on the grid, Verstappen was unable to overtake Ferrari's Charles Leclerc in pole position and a spin at turn four led to him being overtaken by George Russell and teammate Sergio Perez - though the Mexican eventually ceded his position. Superb defending from Russell left the defending champion frustrated and his task to overtake the Mercedes man was made even harder by the fact he was suffering from intermittent DRS issues that prevented his rear wing from opening.That left Verstappen understandably furious and not happy with the messages from his team, with Christian Horner telling him on one occasion that they 'think you may have closed the DRS last time' to which he responded 'that's because I have to press it five f****** times'.

Toto Wolff has fired a warning to rivals Ferrari and Red Bull following the team's signs of revival in Barcelona ahead of Sunday's Grand Prix.The Silver Arrows showed signs of progress in three practice sessions and, unlike last time out in Miami, were able to continue that form into qualifying as George Russell came in fourth to secure the team's highest finish in qualifying this season. While the two Mercedes weren't quite able to compete for a spot on the front row with Ferrari and Red Bull, with Lewis Hamilton coming in sixth and behind his teammate, it could be the start of an upwards trajectory for the defending constructors' champions.With Russell on the second row alongside Carlos Sainz and ahead of Sergio Perez, Mercedes are certainly in the picture for Barcelona, though it's a track notorious for being difficult to overtake on, and Wolff has fired a warning to his rivals.He said: "My belief is we have a race car more than a qualifying car.

Mercedes after recording the team's best qualifying session so far this season for the Barcelona Grand Prix.The Silver Arrows showed signs of a revival heading into the race in Spain and maintained their improvements throughout practice and into Saturday's qualifying session.Russell, who had qualified outside of the top 10 last time out in Miami, was able to outperform teammate Lewis Hamilton and Red Bull's Sergio Perez to come in fourth - the highest he has ever qualified since joining Mercedes.Despite the improvements, Mercedes were still off the pace of their rivals and competing for pole position and race wins seems to be a step too far for now but Russell is adamant that there is still more to come from the team."It wasn't actually our most perfect qualifying session, we didn't quite have the tyres in the right window and I think there's more lap time on the table yet we still came home in P4 which is our best qualifying of the season," he told Sky Sports."Looking at our pace on Friday, we had a better race car than we did qualifying car so I think that we've got a real chance against Ferrari but Red Bull, especially Max, look to be a little bit faster in the race. It's all to play for."A big improvement for Mercedes was the quelling of the porpoising issue that has plagued their season so far, something Russell welcomed: "I don't feel quite as fatigued after that session compared to what I'm used to.
