      Erling Haaland takes private jet to Monaco in £1,200 Dolce & Gabbana tracksuit and watches Grand Prix from yacht

      by

      The Norwegian chilled out as he looked forward to the race
      Haaland, 20, is among Europe’s most wanted footballers, having produced a stunning 41 goal season in all competitions.
      But if the stress of constant transfer speculation is getting to him, it certainly didn’t show as he chilled out on his first day off this summer.
      Donning a £1,200 Dolce & Gabbana tracksuit, the long-haired ace flew to Monaco by private jet on Sunday afternoon.
      Haaland elected to wear his red and white D&G garments, rather than the referee shirt he bizarrely acquired on Saturday, after swapping shirts with official Manuel Grafe, who was taking charge of his final game.
      He posted a picture of himself aboard to his nine million Instagram followers, writing: “On the way to Monaco! ✈️🇲🇨🏎🏁 #MonacoGP @f1.”
      Upon arrival, he relaxed aboard a yacht overlooking the track, as the action got underway in the Principality.
      Wearing a pair of shades, he chatted with friends and enjoyed his rest, ahead of what is set to be a busy few months.
      His father Alf-Inge, accompanied by agent Mino Raiola, has already visited some of Europe’s biggest clubs for talks, including Barcelona and Real Madrid.

      But Dortmund are determined to hold on to their star man for another season.
      Haaland’s deal is believed to possess a release clause of around £65million, due to kick in next year.
      Manchester United, City and Chelsea have all been linked with 6ft 4in Leeds-born star.

      Monaco GP results: Verstappen wins in Monte Carlo with Hamilton SEVENTH as Leclerc fails to start after qualifying crash

      by

      MAX VERSTAPPEN took victory in a tedious Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday, with reigning world champion Lewis Hamilton way back in seventh.The biggest drama came before the race had even began in an otherwise dreary affair in Monte Carlo.

      Charles Leclerc – who qualified on pole for his home race – was forced to withdraw due to the gearbox issues suffered during his crash on Saturday.
      As the cars prepared to take their place on the grid, Ferrari revealed it would be a pitlane start at best for the Monegasque racer.
      However, as the minutes melted away, it was confirmed Leclerc’s car would not be ready for the flag with the Monaco man forced to sit it out.
      Leclerc later tweeted the word ‘heartbreaking’.
      It meant Verstappen started from the front of the grid ahead of Valtteri Bottas – with the Finn retiring on lap 31 after the Mercedes team were unable to get the nut off his front right tyre.
      It was left up to Carlos Sainz to keep the pressure up on Verstappen, with Brit Lando Norris up from fifth to the final spot on the podium.
      Hamilton was left frustrated after losing a place during his pit stop knowing overtaking opportunities were few and far between on the iconic Monte Carlo street circuit.
      Ex-Renault star Jolyon Palmer bemoaned the famous race, telling BBC Radio 5 Live: “The cars are too fast – and too big – for Monaco now.”

      Verstappen would easily hold on to win the Monaco GP for the first time in his career.
      The Dutchman also went top of the championship for the first time ever with the win.
      Sainz and Norris took the other podium places – with the Brit calling it ‘special’ to fulfil a lifelong ‘dream’.
      Sergio Perez, Sebastian Vettel and Pierre Gasly came fourth, fifth and sixth respectively.
      Hamilton was over a minute back from Verstappen in seventh.
      But the Brit earned a little late consolation after snatching the bonus point for fastest lap by well over a second.
      Lance Stroll, Esteban Ocon and Antonio Giovinazzi completed the top ten.
      Kimi Raikkonen, Daniel Ricciardo, Fernando Alonso and George Russell all finished outside of the points.
      Nicholas Latifi, Yuki Tsunoda, Nikita Mazepin and Mick Schumacher brought up the reaer, with Bottas and Leclerc the only two failing to finish the race.

      PAIN FOR VERSTAPPEN

      RED FLAG LECLERC HAS CRASHED – BUT HE IS ON POLE
      Huge drama as the Ferrari man, who was already on provisional pole, crashed at the end of his lap.
      He takes pole, as the session is stopped with just 18 seconds to go after crashing at the swimming pool section.
      It means Verstappen and Bottas are unable to better their lap times when they were on flying laps.
      HAMILTON IN TROUBLE
      He hits the barriers on his flying lap. He is still going but his time is down.
      VERSTAPPEN FAILS TO BETTER HIS LAP TIME
      However, there is still time. 1m 30sec to go. Track is getting very busy.
      WOW LECLERC TAKES PROVISOINAL POLE FROM VERSTAPPEN

      Q3 IS GO. CAN HAMILTON FIGHT BACK OR IS THIS MAX VERSUS THE FERRARIS?
      Verstappen takes provisional pole with a time of 1:10.576. Bottas was just 0.060 seconds slower.
      This is going to be close. Ferrari yet to show their hand.
      ELIMINATED FROM Q2
      Ocon, Stroll, Raikkonen and Russell are also out of the top 10 shootout. Antonio Giovinazzi is through.
      RICCIARDO IS OUT
      The Australian is out of Q2. He is in 12th after failing to get into the top 10 shoot out.

      WORLD CHAMPION FERNANDO ALONSO OUT IN Q1
      The two-time world champion is OUT at the first hurdle. He joins Schumacher, Mazepin, Latifi and Tsunoda in the TV pen after failing to reach Q2.
      IN THE DROP ZONE FOR Q1
      Mazepin, Latifi, Ocon and Alonso are in the bottom five. Mick Schuamcher will not take part in quali as he busted his Haas in Q3.
      The German will start in last place having been given permission to start the race.

      Monaco GP qualifying: Charles Leclerc CRASHES but still takes pole as F1 champ Lewis Hamilton finishes just seventh

      It was a difficult day for Mercedes with team-mate Valtteri Bottas taking third behind Max Verstappen.
      Carlos Sainz took fourth, ahead of Lando Norris and Pierre Gasly with Sebastian Vettel behind Hamilton in eighth.
      But it was Ferrari driver LeClerc who ran the fastest time to lead the pack for the first time in his home race.
      It wasn’t all plain sailing for the 23-year-old after crashing at the end of his final lap.
      The session was forced to be stopped with just 18 seconds to go meaning Verstappen and Bottas were unable to better their lap times when they were on flying laps.
      LeClerc now faces an anxious wait to determine the damage to his car but mechanics are likely to be working long into the night.
      The suspension took significant damage and he could be punished with a grid penalty depending on the severity of it.
      LeClerc admitted himself he was worried about a potential penalty and revealed his suprise at finishing on pole.

      He said: “It’s a shame to finish in the wall, it’s doesn’t feel the same but I’m incredibly happy about my lap.
      “I didn’t do a great first corner but then in the second and third sector I nailed it. Just very, very happy to be on pole as it was very difficult to manage myself mentally after Q2.
      “I could feel I was quite emotional in the car – now it’s Q3, now it’s time to put everything together. I managed to do so and I’m incredibly happy.
      “It’s tomorrow that we score points but we are incredibly surprised to be on pole and fourth place (Carlos Sainz) for the race tomorrow.
      “I am worried about a penalty [for the gear box]. I’ve always been very unlucky here, so let’s just wait and see.”
      Hamilton exposed Mercedes’ problems on the day and admitted the team will need to get back to the drawing board to pick up success in Monaco.
      The 36-year-old said: “The car didn’t feel too bad on Thursday and we made some changes for Saturday.
      The ten greatest F1 drivers of all-time – according to SunSport’s motorsport correspondent Ben Hunt

      “We go back to the drawing board now. There is a lack of grip, so that leaves you to overdrive the car and unfortunately it just didn’t improve.
      “It’s a difficult one, obviously. Valtteri was able to get something out of it, but we definitely had some problems today.
      “I guess the minimum will be hopefully finish seventh, and then hope we can get any higher.”
