Kimi Antonelli holds nerve to win chaotic F1 Monaco GP after late red flag

  • Italian teenager becomes youngest winner of race

  • Lewis Hamilton second but Russell pays penalty

In a dramatic close to the race he held his nerve through two restarts under immense pressure. esporist.org

The Italian delivered a consummate exhibition to take victory from Lewis Hamilton in second and the Red Bull of Isack Hadjar in third, though neither really challenged the Mercedes. However, Antonelli had to weather nervelessly the tense final moments of a safety-car restart and then a full standing start after a red flag because the track itself was breaking up at the final corner.

Serena Williams plays down potential singles return before doubles at Queen’s

  • Williams, 44, returns to tennis for first time since 2022

  • ‘I don’t have anything to prove, everything is a gain’

Serena Williams has said her professional tennis return at the age of 44 is about “just having fun,” insisting winning is “not important” after lifting 23 grand slam singles titles during a hugely successful career.

Williams will play doubles alongside the Canadian teenager Victoria Mboko at Queen’s Club this week in her first competitive outing since stepping away from tennis in 2022. Although she has committed to playing doubles in Berlin afterwards, her future beyond that remains uncertain. Meetings to determine the first batch of Wimbledon wildcards begin soon but when asked whether she intends to return to singles competition, Williams said: “I can’t say yeah, I can’t say no.
