      But they are not permanent – with Hamilton later placing them in his pocket as he revealed they were just veneers.
      However, he did claim he has thought about getting them done.
      The 38-year-old is closing in on discussions over a new deal with Mercedes worth around £50million a year.
      And he clearly upped the bling ahead of this week’s race in Monte Carlo.

      Hamilton, who has landed in trouble with the FIA for his nose piercings in the past, is likely to escape another ticking off as the rules do not account for dentistry.
      Earlier this week, Mercedes boss Toto Wolff reaffirmed his desire to tie seven-time world champion down to a new long-term deal.
      Hamilton, who sits fourth in the drivers’ standings, has insisted he will not retire until he secures a record-breaking eighth championship.
      But he has been linked with a £40million move to Ferrari.

      In response, Wolff said: “These rumours come up every two years when we have to sign a new contract.
      “But none of this is true. We discuss normally, without any time pressure.
      “It’s just uncomfortable that two friends, two blood brothers who have been through thick and thin for ten years, suddenly have to discuss money.
      “I’m firmly convinced that we’ll find each other, there’s not a millimetre of doubt for me.
      “I can’t imagine anything else. If we give Lewis a competitive car, he will win for a long time. Look at Tom Brady and what he was still capable of in his 40s.” More

      She has also accumulated more than 200,000 followers on Instagram – where she regularly shares revealing snaps.
      And Gracie’s latest bikini shot, which was a tiny blue number, sent her followers into meltdown as she captioned it with: “How many curves can you see?”
      “You have too many curves to count,” declared one fan.
      Another replied: “Only as much as a man can handle. How the f*** did you squeeze all of them in that race suit . You’re so little in person.”

      While another commented: “You have curves like no one have in this world.”
      Gracie walked away from racing in 2017 after driving in the Carrera Cup and Super2 events.
      She made the decision after not making enough money to continue her passion and instead changed her career to make the most of her good looks.
      But Gracie took to the wheel of her eye-catching OnlyFans branded car in the GT World Challenge Australia Series last month.

      However, her first day back behind the wheel did not go exactly according to plan.
      She was second-slowest in practice in her Audi R8 LMS Ultra on a nightmare comeback.
      Gracie was over three seconds behind the quickest team in the second practice session – but she was not disheartened by her return to the track.
      She uploaded a snap to her Instagram story sitting on the bonnet of her car with the caption: “Great first day back on the track after 6 years!”
      Gracie has previously competed in the Bathurst 1000, one of Australia’s biggest races, on two occasions.

      I’m a former F1 star turned DJ – I was not happy as a driver but what makes me feel worse is everyone feels sorry for me

      by

      JAIME ALGUERSUARI’S Formula One career lasted just three years when he was released at 21-years-old.Alguersuari raced for Toro Rosso, one of two F1 teams previously owned by Red Bull, becoming the youngest debutant in the sport’s history at the time.

      Alguersuari was brought into F1 while still a teenager after winning the 2008 British Formula 3 championship.
      But come 2011 he found himself on the scrap heap, as he was dropped despite a solid campaign, which included multiple points finishes.
      Speaking on his experiences, he told Marca: “I couldn’t heal my wounds with the misfortune that happened”.
      “But I believe that I was not happy when I was a Formula 1 driver.”

      Comparing his experience to that of fellow Spaniard Carlos Sainz, who was also cut loose by Toro Rosso before ultimately fighting his way back to his current seat at Ferrari, he added: “Neither Carlos nor I were very loved at Red Bull. It costs us more than the others to be loved or to want to be loved.
      “We weren’t the spearheads, nor were we in any way the proteges.
      “What makes me feel bad is that many people look at me as if they were sorry for what happened”.
      Alguersuari now has his own recording studio in Barcelona, and is well known in Spain as a DJ under the stage name Squire.

      Asked if he still follows F1, he added: “I haven’t stopped watching the races. I follow more carefully now that we have two Spanish drivers with two good cars”.
      “Currently no driver is at the level of Max Verstappen.
      “I think Max has one more point because he comes from a very different upbringing.
      “There is no such thing as defeat because at home they have taught him that losing is dying.
      What makes me feel bad is that many people look at me as if they were sorry for what happened.Jaime Alguersuari
      “We see a different driver from the one that was known as Mad Max, which always crashed. Now it is something else”.
      And the former driver had a lot to say about the prospects for each team this season, and if Red Bull can continue to dominate ahead of the Monaco GP.
      He stated: “No, no. I think there will be surprises because Red Bull has something that is going to do them a lot of damage.
      “That is the limit of hours in the wind tunnel that can greatly favour Fernando Alonso.

      “Aston Martin has a better car than Ferrari and they continue to improve the car aerodynamically”.
      This comes as Red Bull were slapped with a £6million fine and a 10 per cent reduction in wind-tunnel development time after being found guilty of overspending on the £114million limit. More

      Silverstone’s my favourite track despite huge crash… I won’t hesitate when I get out there, says F1 star Zhou Guanyu

      by

      CAN you guess the mystery sports star?I’ll give you some clues:
      Zhou Guanyu talks about how his favourite track is Silverstone, even after an accidentCredit: Supplied
      Would you be able to guess who he was if we just told you he was pretty decent at snooker?Credit: Supplied

      He went to school in Sheffield
       He likes Yorkshire puddings
       He’s pretty decent at snooker
       His nickname was Steve but he now prefers Joe
       He famously drove upside down

      All right, you’re never going to guess, it’s Chinese F1 driver Zhou Guanyu.
      Zhou moved from Shanghai to Sheffield as a 12-year-old to pursue his F1 dream, racing for a junior karting team and spending three years as a pupil at Westbourne School.
      It was clearly the right move because he went on to join Ferrari’s driver academy, scored five F2 wins including Silverstone and Monaco, and is now in his second full season in F1 with Alfa Romeo.
      READ MORE MOTORSPORT
      So, obvious first question: United or Wednesday?
      Zhou said: “Real Madrid. Because I was a big Ronaldo fan when I was younger.
      “But my fitness coach is originally from Sheffield and he’s a United supporter. He keeps me updated.
      “It’s impressive they’re back in the Premier League.”
      Most read in Motorsport
      This is Zhou’s first time back in the Steel City for ten years and he said: “It’s a place full of memories.
      “Everything feels exactly the same. Everybody is so laid back and chilled.
      “I met some old school friends for dinner last night and it was so good to catch up with them.”
      After a quick frame of snooker, Zhou drives me to his old school in Alfa’s brilliant Giulia Competizione.

      It’s not his. It’s borrowed.
      Zhou has the even more brilliant Giulia Quadrifoglio at home in London.
      Now for a quick Q&A with pupils in the school hall.
      It’s not long before Zhou’s first-corner horror smash at Silverstone crops up.
      One lad asks: “Did the halo (cockpit protection device) save your life at Silverstone?”
      Zhou replied: “Yes, definitely.
      “While I was upside down, the halo was scratching along the ground, keeping my head just above the ground.”
      The sickening crash saw Zhou’s car flip over after colliding with George Russell’s Merc, skid upside down for 100 metres, then catapult over the tyre barriers and end up wedged against the catch fence.
      He tells me later: “I try not to look back to the crash.
      “I skip the footage.
      “But Silverstone is still my favourite track in the whole world.
      “It’s so fast and flowing, you really have to trust the car.
      “Maggots and Becketts are such cool corners.
      “When I go back this year, I won’t hesitate.
      “I’ll just go out there and go for the maximum like I do every weekend.”
      Back to the school Q&A and another pupil asks: “Who do you like more, Senna or Schumacher?”
      Zhou replies: “Fernando Alonso.
      “I’ve been an Alonso fan ever since I was a kid and now I am racing against him.
      “I don’t know how he is still racing at his best level but I think he is one of the greatest ever drivers.”
      Q&A session over. Lots of autographs. And then it’s time to go.
      As we head for the exit, one lad passes Zhou in a corridor and tells his mate: “That’s Zhou Guanyu.
      “He tries to beat Max Verstappen.”

      Zhou replies: “Give me a Red Bull and I’ll do it.”

      The pair were in attendance at the Cannes Film Festival in France.
      This year’s festival has seen a host of stars glam up to attend, including the girlfriend of Gasly’s former Red Bull team-mate Max Verstappen, Kelly Piquet.
      On the red carpet at the 76th edition of the event, Francisca – also known as Kika – stole the show.
      The model, born in 2003, donned a cutout black dress complete with rope keeping the front together.

      Francisca, who has 320,000 followers on Instagram, also had her hair tied back in a ponytail.

      Kika and Gasly, 27, reportedly started dating in 2022 after they were spotted in a nightclub in Porto together.
      Speculation heated up when the then AlphaTauri driver was accompanied by the model at the 2022 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix paddock last month.
      Gasly has had previous history at the Cannes Film Festival.
      He and compatriot and now Alpine team-mate Esteban Ocon were both accused of cropping one another out of photos taken when attending in 2018.
      Ocon himself has also returned to the red carpet this year, being accompanied by his Mum.
      The 26-year-old shared a picture of them together and tweeted: “Bucket list: Cannes Festival with mum ✅😊.”

      by

      The Spaniard publicly mocked the reliability and performance – much to Honda’s fury.
      However, they could now team up once more after Alonso’s Aston Martin team joined forces with Honda to supply them engines from 2026.
      It comes after world champions Red Bull announced that they would be ditching Honda in favour of a tie-up with Ford.
      Honda bosses say they have “no objections” to working with the two-time world champion, despite his criticism in the past.

      Koji Watanabe said: “Our stance remains unchanged in thinking the selection of the drivers is fully up to the team members and not something that a partner and supplier like us is supposed to be making.
      “So, we’ll be leaving the driver selection to the team.
      “We have been accelerating our development during all our recent time in Formula One, (including) while working with Alonso, and that enabled us to win the world championship [with Red Bull].
      “I believe he’s such a brand and respectable driver, but, like I said, the selection of drivers is up to the team to decide.
      Most read in Motorsport
      “So, if the team decides we’ll have Alonso as a driver again, we will have no objections whatsoever in him driving.”
      Alonso, 41, drove for McLaren between 2015 and 2017 when he famously called the Honda power unit a GP2 engine at their home race in Suzuka.
      Meanwhile, Aston Martin owner Lawrence Stroll says the Honda deal is “the final piece in the jigsaw” to establish them as one of F1’s top teams.
      He said: “Aston Martin and Honda have a lot in common, including engineering excellence and a long-term commitment and passion to win.

      “Racing has also a part of Aston Martin’s DNA for the last 110 years and together, we will win.
      “Aston Martin is the fastest growing team in the sport and on social media, tripling our fanbase in the last two years.
      “Our partnership with Honda is the final piece in the jigsaw to establish Aston Martin as a top team capable of winning world titles.” More
