      BBC commentator known as ‘voice of F1’ sacked over allegations of inappropriate touching

      by

      A BBC commentator among the most recognisable “voices of F1” has been sacked after alleged inappropriate touching. Jack Nicholls was dismissed by IMG – who produce BBC Radio 5 Live’s Formula One coverage – after recent complaints by three people.

      He had already been fired by Formula E as their lead commentator ahead of last month’s Monaco Grand Prix following an internal investigation.
      And now a spokesperson said: “IMG has decided to part ways with Jack Nicholls in light of the incidents that led to his departure from Formula E.”
      Allegations first surfaced regarding Nicholls’ behaviour in March.
      Three individuals – all employees at Formula E – made complaints, including one junior colleague he was in a relationship with at the time and two witnesses.

      The incidents were said to have taken place across the world including in Rome and Cape Town.
      Nicholls, who was regularly dubbed radio’s “voice of F1” by 5 Live listeners, said in his own statement when the allegations were made public: “Although disappointed with the decision, I respect it and accept why it was taken.
      “I want to take full responsibility for what I did and apologise unreservedly for a couple of isolated incidents that has made those concerned feel uncomfortable.
      “I never meant any harm and I am committed to making amends and to be more mindful of my behaviour in future.”

      Nicholls was a regular on the BBC since 2016.
      He often worked as part of a team that includes ex-F1 driver Jolyon Palmer and Jennie Gow. 
      The commentator, who has now deleted his social media accounts, was also part of the Netflix docu-series Drive To Survive in 2019.
      With Formula E, Nicholls had been a key fixture in the commentary booth from its launch in 2014.
      He became a well-known voice to fans of the sport with nearly a decade in the hot seat.
      However, Ben Edwards replaced Nicholls on the Formula E coverage for the Jakarta ePrix at the beginning of June.
      And Edwards will remain in the role for the rest of this season.

      by

      Nevertheless, Hamilton was pleased with third as it marks another step with the team’s recovery as he now has back-to-back podiums.
      He said over the team’s radio: “That was a tough, tough race. Great job today. Great job this weekend. Let’s keep this consistency.”
      He later added: “It has been a great weekend for us, we are slowly chipping away and have some more updates coming.
      “It was quite an honour to be up there with two world champions and I was excited to be in that mix.

      “Unfortunately we didn’t have the pace. We knew this would not be our circuit as we  are struggling in the low-speed corners.
      “We have a lot of work to do to add downforce to the car, but we will get there. Our pace was closer and we are going in the right direction.”
      It was the 41st victory of Verstappen’s career as he moved level with the great Ayrton Senna.
      He said: “I am very happy right now. It was not a very straight forward race, we were sliding around quite a bit but to win again, the 100th Grand Prix for the team is incredible.
      Most read in Motorsport
      “It is amazing, I never expected to be on these numbers myself, so we keep going.”
      The Dutchman was dominant, leading from the start, and held on the first place to make it a hat-trick of consecutive clean sweeps.
      He has now taken pole, led every lap and taken the win in the last three races in Monaco, Barcelona and now Canada.
      It was all so easy that at one point he laughed over the team’s radio saying how he “almost knocked himself out on the kerb”.
      Hamilton made a fantastic start and quickly leapfrogged Alonso into second place going into the first turn on lap one.
      However, the Mercedes man was unable to catch Verstappen, who was also quick off the line to hold his place at the front.
      Further back Sergio Perez and Carlos Sainz had a good battle for 11th which forced Kevin Magnussen to take evasive action and dart over the grass.
      But George Russell was not so fortunate as he was launched off the sausage kerbs and into the barriers at turn four on lap 12.
      It was a big impact and saw the race steward deploy the safety car due to the debris on track.
      Somehow Russell made it back to the pits and his Mercedes team patched up his car and sent him back out on track, albeit in last place.

      The safety car period allowed the front-running drivers to make a pitstop for tyres as Verstappen darted in from the front. Hamilton and Alonso also followed.
      But due to a slow stop from Mercedes, the Brit came close to driving into the Spaniard, who was already back on his way down the pitlane.
      Both escaped punishment from the FIA despite the near miss and they set about trying to eat into Verstappen’s lead.
      Alonso’s quicker Aston Martin allowed him to keep close to Hamilton and he eventually made his pass on lap 23.
      With the benefit of DRS he swooped past the Brit in to turn one and into second place as he started opening a small gap over the Mercedes man.
      Hamilton rolled the dice by pitting on lap 40 for medium tyres and Aston responded by calling in Alonso a lap later to cover off the threat of Hamilton getting passed.
      Red Bull also called in Verstappen for new tyres on lap but had such an advantage he kept his place running in first.
      Russell was eventually forced to retire 15 laps from the end when the damage caused by his earlier smash into the barriers caught up with him.

      He trundled down the pitlane and was rolled back into the garage by his mechanics as he apologised to the team for his accident on lap 12.
      Hamilton pressed Alonso late on, as he was struggling with his brakes but he was unable to catch the Aston Martin. More

      And despite the pair driving in the same team, two-time champion Verstappen declared he would “not be happy” if he was Perez.
      It comes after under-fire Perez failed to make Q3 for the third time in a row, having crashed out in Q1 at Monaco and lacking pace in Spain.
      Changeable conditions in Montreal on Saturday saw Perez cock up his tyre strategy as rivals benefitted from an earlier switch onto slick tyres in Q2.
      The drivers title looks likely to head to Verstappen for the third time in a row, with no driver in F1 history having overturned a 53-point deficit.

      Speaking on Perez’s performance ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix, Verstappen remarked: “Well, if I hadn’t been there it would have looked very different for Red Bull.
      “I wouldn’t be happy with not making Q3 three times in a row. I’m not concerned about it either.
      “I’m busy enough on my side of the garage getting everything in order. I pay all my attention to that.
      “The team must be working on that maybe, but you have to ask them.

      Verstappen claimed pole in Canada qualifying despite earlier struggles over the weekend which had seen Mercedes duo Lewis Hamilton and George Russell lead the field.

      Grosjean almost forced the Team Penske’s driver onto the grass as Power attempted to overtake into a gap initially left by the Frenchman.

      Gerard Pique ‘to announce engagement’ to girlfriend Clara Chia after ex Shakira ‘cosies up’ to F1 star Lewis Hamilton

      by

      Gerard Pique is making plans to wed his new beau Clara Chia and is set to announce their engagement, according to Spanish media. Earlier this month Pique, 36, and Clara, 24, were spotted at a Barcelona jeweller and are said to have had a conversation with an employee there about a made-to-measure ring.

      Pique split from Shakira – his partner of more than a decade and mother to his children – just a year ago.
      The footie star and Clara Chia went public with their relationship less than a year ago at a music festival in Barcelona.
      Sources close to Clara Chia and Pique claim the couple are indeed planning to tie the knot and are doing it within the month.
      The source told Spanish media: “Gerard Pique and Clara Chia are going to get married.
      READ MORE IN SPORT
      “The ex-footballer and his girlfriend have taken this very important decision.
      “They have also planned the ideal moment to make the good news public. The announcement will be made on another important date for Pique, the wedding of his brother Marc who is going to marry his childhood sweetheart Maria on June 24.”
      Shakira reportedly refused to let Pique take their two sons, Milan, ten, and Sasha, eight, to his brother’s wedding.
      The Colombian singer also seems to be moving on: she’s been linked to F1 driver Lewis Hamilton since her move to Miami with her sons.
      Most read in Football
      The two were first spotted when Shakira attended the Miami Grand Prix last month, and they seem to have shared an intimate dinner afterwards.
      Videos appeared to show the Hips Don’t Lie singer and the Formula One legend mingling in the popular restaurant, Cipriani, in Miami.
      Only days after the dinner, Lewis showed off his chivalry when he whisked the Colombian songstress off for a boat day with pals in Miami.
      Shakira was grinning as they cruised around Biscayne Bay with pals, before being dropped off at the dock of her £12million mansion.
      They were later photographed together at a dinner with friends, following Hamilton’s race at the Spanish Grand Prix – and Hamilton’s arm was wrapped around her.
      The pair headed out for dinner after the race with singer Mustafa sharing snaps of the group on Instagram.
      Despite the rumours, other sources close to the couple claim they’re “just friends”.

      “Ultimately, sport is entertainment, and it can be confusing.
      “I thought, why not bring all those people together and do something that I think still needs to be done — bringing the sport to life by bridging that gap between sport and fan.”
      Lissie has also been romantically linked to New Zealand motorsports driver Marcus Armstrong.
      He used to compete in Formula 2 but is now starring in the NTT IndyCar Series with Chip Ganassi Racing.
