it was won by max verstappen.urprisingly, given last year's pile up, it didn't happen at the start. the crunch of carbon fibre came from nicholas latifi mid—race, allowing charles le clerc in the red ferrari to leapfrog into the lead, tracked closely by verstappen. behind, lewis hamilton was cruising through the field, starting down the grid. he ran as high as sixth before a late virtual safety car unravelled his strategy, dropping him to 10th. out front, a repeat of bahrain last week and the fireworks between leclerc and verstappen. tit for tat, pass for pass. for ten laps they tussled but didn't tangle, as verstappen won the battle to take his first victory of the season. number one for a reason. ben croucher, bbc news. well, you just have to take a look at the back pages today and joe root�*s captaincy again being questioned with the men's test side arguably at the lowest point in years. they lost their series in west indies, which was meant to be the big reset after the ashes embarassment, theirfour straight s

masi failed to correctly apply the rules, which gave the advantage to red bull's max verstappen as heichael earlier in that race, but race directing is and clearly hard position, and when you look at the amount of support he has compared to the teams, it's quite limited. and i think it's great that they brought an experienced campaigner home, he flashed back into the stewards room or into the race control for the season. i did feel it was harsh on michael, and, yeah, ofa of season. i did feel it was harsh on michael, and, yeah, of a of pressure put on him and the fia for that to happen. and good news for emily scarratt — she will return to the england squad for the women's six nations later this month after suffering a broken leg back in september. head coach simon middleton has recalled scarratt for their title defence, which begins on march the 26th against scotland. if everything else, you can head to the bbc sport website. but that's all the sport for now. good evening. high pressure at this time of year can quiet the weather story down, but clear skies by day lead to cold and fro

charles leclerc won in bahrain for ferrari's first victory since 2019 but max verstappen retired and this season due to issues with the new car. here's formula one journalist inga stracke. there wouldn't be world championships of so many a time world champion if they didn't know what to do if they have a problem. and i trust that they will be in the mix pretty soon and lose some with his driving skills as well. they do have problems with the car, after going up and down, it's all down to the new regulations about ground effect. a couple of technical terms was up and they are working on it, they have already improved from the tests of two weeks before in barcelona and bahrain. i'm pretty sure they will be fighting back. and that's all the sport for now. it's very settled on the weather front right now, and that's how it'll stay generally over the next few days. how about the details? and there are a few to talk about — just the chance of catching a shower on tuesday. some of these fairweather clouds will build into shower clouds, but i think the vast majority of us will miss them. now

reigning champion max verstappen's already impressed in practice today.george russell, the new driver was fourth and second practice today, hamilton down in ninth. there is a strange phenomenon where mercedes is struggling with the bouncing. the sweeping changes that have been brought into the sport this year, red bull looked like they have got on top of that. i spoke to toto earlier and asked him about his emotions around this car and he said he was not happy at all. they know the car has performance in it but they have not yet tapped into it. it will be interesting to see what happens on sunday. when i spoke to chris bull from red bull, he was talking down any talk of being a favourite. we see these mercedes cars struggling with regret but we won't know where we are at until qualifying tomorrow night. that will sort the men from the boys and let us know, really, how it could go on sunday. two games in rugby league's superleague tonight. catalans beat hull kingston rovers 18—1o whilst a strong second half performance from salford put more pressure on str

max verstappen has called his red bull team's reliability into question — following the double retirementd champion was heading forsecond, behind race—winner charles leclerc, when he retired with three laps to go after losing power. with teammate sergio perez also dropping out on the final lap, it meant no red bull, or mercedes, on top spot. instead, ferrari came home with a 1—2 finish. leclerc and carlos sainz took maximum points. the cars have undergone the greatest changes in a generation to make races more exciting. lewis hamilton ended up third, but, for champion verstappen, the team's performance has been tough to take. this is the biggest problem, we scored zero points with a competitive car. and on the days where you have tiny issues or you're not entirely happy with the balance, you have to consolidate and score points and what we did today is extremely painful. there are bids coming to light for chelsea two days after the deadline to buy the club. global investment firm centricus, which overseas £29 billion in assets and features several chelsea season—ticket holders, confirmed

who can forget that sensational final lap of last year's championship, which saw max verstappen win theho's in bahrain for us. is there a sense of more determination from hamilton this time, given the circumstances he lost out on last season? this is supposed to be the fresh start when we all stop talking about what happened three months ago and all move on. certainly lewis hamilton has said today he does not have any baggage, not carrying any baggage into the race on sunday. clear from speaking to max verstappen this weekend toto wolf today, the team principal of mercedes, that everyone really is done talking of apple dobby for that they all want to move on and it really will be great for all concerned for that race to actually start on sunday so we can all stop talking about it. but perhaps tomorrow, certainly this week and we expect the governing body report from the foia into what happened and lewis hamilton today has said the report is a crucial step in moving on. i report is a crucial step in moving on. ~' . report is a crucial step in moving on. ~ , ., report is a crucial step in
