      Mercedes threatened to ban Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg from races due to bust-ups between pair

      by

      MERCEDES boss Toto Wolff has admitted that he threatened to ban Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg due to their toxic rivalry.The pair were involved in some of the Silver Arrows’ most dominant seasons on their journey from karting teammates to bitter foes.

      Rosberg is the only man who has stopped Hamilton from winning the F1 title during the last seven years but the two had a bitter fallout.
      The German even revealed in an interview with SunSport that he needed a mind coach to help him through some of the low points.
      Their on-track clashes – most notably at Spa 2014, Austria 2016 and their infamous collision in Spain 2016 cemented their rivalry as one of the fiercest in F1 history.
      And Wolff claimed Mercedes came close to impose race suspensions on both Rosberg and Hamilton at the height of their feuding.
      He told the High Performance Podcast: “It was very difficult because I came into the team as a newcomer in Formula 1, and Nico and Lewis had been in the sport for much longer.
      I always made it clear that if this were to happen regularly, and I would see a pattern, then I have no fear in making somebody miss racesMercedes boss Toto Wolff
      “But still, I was able to create an environment where they had to respect the team. Sometimes with an iron fist, or iron grip, and they understood that they couldn’t let us down, they couldn’t let Mercedes down.
      “The events of 2014, where I felt there was some selfish behaviour, I said that the next time you come close to the other car, your team mate, you think about the Mercedes brand, you think about single individuals in the team, you think about Dieter Zetsche, the CEO of Mercedes.
      “That’s probably going to change the way you act; you’re not going to put your team mate in the wall.
      “And I always made it clear that if this were to happen regularly, and I would see a pattern, then I have no fear in making somebody miss races.
      “The thing the drivers want the most is to compete in a car and you always need to be very clear that you compete in the car if you understand the team game.

      “And it’s much more difficult because there are only two drivers in the team and it’s not easy to find a replacement, and a replacement on that level.
      “But I’m prepared to sacrifice a race or two just to make it clear for all future generations that are going to drive for Mercedes that that’s not on.”
      Rosberg stunned the sport by retiring from F1 in 2016 having won the title while Hamilton has won six of the last seven titles.

      SEBASTIAN VETTEL was told to stop ‘whining’ about his Aston Martin car by Ralf Schumacher.And the ex-F1 driver reckons Vettel has to knuckle down after a miserable season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix.

      Four-time world champion Vettel switched to Aston Martin this year after six seasons with Ferrari.
      But he failed to make it out of Q1 in the Middle East and finished a disappointing 15th place.
      Schumacher, who won six F1 races during his decade-long F1 career and is brother of legend Michael, told Sport1.de: “The whining that he doesn’t feel the car has to stop.
      “I’m sorry for Sebastian. This is a huge problem and it will take time.
      “Nobody cares about that, and after all, we’re in Formula One here and he’s also earning a lot of money.
      “At the end of the day, Sebastian is an experienced racing driver and a multiple world champion. He has to clean up with his team-mate now and the rest will come on its own even if the Aston Martin doesn’t turn into a winning car this year.”

      “He’s not unreasonable. I understand Sebastian’s frustration.
      “He had anything but a perfect weekend.”
      Vettel’s team-mate Lance Stroll finished in 10th place at last month’s season opener.
      The teams head to Imola for the second race on April 18.

      Speaking after Bahrain, Vettel admitted: “It’s been probably not the best weekend or the weekend we were looking for.
      “But there were a lot of things that we learned that we need to address. We will see how quickly we can fix them.
      “I’m not at home in the car. There’s a lot of things that are fighting me so that I can’t really focus on driving. But we need to address them and try and fix them.”

      Bernie Ecclestone’s family tree includes baby son Ace’s half-sister Deborah, 66, and seven grandchildren

      by

      LAST summer, Bernie Ecclestone became a father for the fourth time at the grand old age of 89.The ex-Formula 1 boss and his third wife Fabiana, 45, welcomed baby Ace into their extravagant world in July 2020.

      The new arrival makes for a remarkable family tree – starting with Bernie at the top, his children and then his grandchildren.
      SunSport breaks it down for you, in full.
      BERNIE ECCLESTONE, 90
      The patriarch of the family, Bernie was born in Suffolk in 1930.
      Worth £2.5billion, Ecclestone had been associated with F1 since the 1950s – during the 1958 season he entered two Grand Prix races, but failed to qualify for either.
      In 1972 he became a team-owner, acquiring Brabham, which he ran for 15 years.
      Two years later, Ecclestone formed the Formula One Constructors Association, emerging as chief executive in 1978.
      In 2017, Bernie was removed from his position after the Formula One Group was taken over by Liberty Media.
      Not bad for the son of a fisherman, who left Dartford West Central Secondary School at 16 and first worked as an assistant in a chemical laboratory testing gas purity.

      IVY BAMFORD, FIRST WIVE
      Not much is known about Bernie’s early years, when he ran motorcycle shops and car dealerships.
      His first wife, a local girl called Ivy, was believed to be two years older than the businessman when they married in 1952.
      They welcomed daughter Deborah three years later, but the marriage fell to pieces and they drifted apart.
      It’s unknown if Ivy, who would be 91 today, is alive.
      SLAVICA RADIC, WIFE NO2
      Bernie married the 6ft 2in former Armani model Slavica in 1985, three years after they met at a promotional event at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza.
      Despite the height difference (Slavica stands a foot taller than Bernie), a language barrier, and an age gap of 28 years they remained married for 23 years.
      In 2009, she topped the Sunday Times’ Rich List in the “richest divorcees” category – getting a reported £740million settlement.
      They have two daughters, Tamara and Petra.

      FABIANA FLOSI, WIFE NO3
      Not much is known about the 45-year-old Brazilian.
      But Bernie met Fabiana in 2009 at the World Motor Sport Council, marrying three years later in a private ceremony at their £23million Swiss chalet in Gstaad.
      She helps run his coffee plantation in Brazil, where their brand Celebrity Coffee is produced.
      In 2016, her mum Aparecida Schunk was kidnapped and a ransom of £28million was demanded.
      Nine days later, she was found safe.
      Last week, they welcomed their first son together, baby Ace.

      DEBORAH, ELDEST DAUGHTER, 66
      Deborah has preferred to stay out of the limelight, despite her famous family connection.
      The only child from Bernie’s first marriage, she is said to have followed her dad into business.
      It is believed she has two children of her own.
      However, their names and ages are unknown.
      TAMARA, 37
      Bernie’s first child with Slavica, Tamara has dabbled with modelling, presenting and reality TV.
      For the 2009 F1 season, she presented motorsport coverage for Sky Sports Italia.
      In 2011 she starred in Tamara Ecclestone: Billion $$$ Girl on Channel 5 and then in ITVBe’s Tamara’s World in 2017.
      In-between, the brunette beauty appeared nude in Playboy magazine.

      She has one daughter, Sophia, 6, from her seven year marriage to Jay Rutland.
      They live in a lavish £70million mansion, a stones throwaway from Kensington Palace.PETRA, 32
      Arguably the more famous of Bernie’s socialite daughters with Slavica, Petra is now based in Los Angeles.
      At 19, she launched menswear label FORM, which was sold in Harrods.

      Her personal life was splashed across the front pages after an acrimonious £5.5 billion divorce row with ex-husband James Stunt, who she split with in 2017.
      She was granted sole custody of their three children, Lavinia, 7, and twins James and Andrew, both 5.
      And last May, Petra gave birth to a baby girl with fiancé Sam Palmer, but has remained tight-lipped on her name, which gives Bernie seven grandchildren ALL younger than his latest child.

      Lewis Hamilton admits he was wrong to ’embarrass people’ after calling out sports biggest names in fight against racism

      by

      LEWIS HAMILTON has revealed he intends to tackle racism within Formula 1 in a different way, rather than ’embarrassing people’ for their actions.The seven-time world champion has been the driving force behind an F1 campaign against racism by calling on the FIA to do more to tackle inequality.

      He has now admitted he has changed the way he is trying to tackle racism in the sportCredit: Mamadi Doumbouya/wired
      He then went on to cite specific individuals for failing to do more to bring F1 drivers together to take the knee, most notably ex-director of the Grand Prix Drivers’ Association Romain Grosjean.
      But now the Brit believes there is a better approach to making change happen.
      While he remains dedicated to the cause, his tireless work might not be so obvious this year.
      He told WIRED UK: “At the beginning of the year [2020] I was very outspoken and calling out the sport.
      “At the time that was the right thing for me, but I discovered that there’s times where you have to be very diplomatic, where there’s more you can do by discussions in the background, rather than embarrassing people.
      “I’m having conversations, trying to hold people in the sport more accountable.
      “I’m constantly sending emails, I’m constantly on Zoom calls with Formula One and challenging them like they wouldn’t want to be challenged.”
      At the first race of the 2021 season, Hamilton wore a shirt which read ‘actions speak louder than words’.
      He has also declared that he will continue to take the knee before races despite some F1 drivers sticking by their decision to remain standing.

      Confusion as Max Verstappen punished during F1 opener when Lewis Hamilton exceeded track limit 30 TIMES at Bahrain GP

      by

      AS LEWIS HAMILTON won an epic battle with Max Verstappen in Bahrain, fans were left confused by Formula One track limit rules.The sport has long been split over how strictly guidelines on circuit boundaries need to be enforced.
      Confusion reigned following the tussle for the lead on SundayCredit: Getty
      Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton were both called up for running wide at Turn 4Credit: Splash
      Certain tracks, chiefly those with large run-off areas, provide drivers with opportunities to nab an extra tenth of a second by keeping their foot to the floor and briefly going outside the line.
      Bahrain’s Turn 4 was one particular area of concern on the weekend.
      As found by Reddit user RiggyBiggy, via the Telegraph, Hamilton left the track limits almost 30 times during the race.
      Drivers had initially been told that they would not be punished for doing so ahead of the season opener, but that changed after first practice.
      Race stewards’ guidelines stated that ‘cutting behind the red and white kerb’ would lead to punishment, and Hamilton duly remained inside the line for the qualifying lap that put him second on the grid.
      During the race, he faced no punishment for continuing to run off-line before being reined in by his Mercedes bosses.
      He replied over team radio: “I thought there were no track limits. I have been doing the same thing all race.”
      Moments earlier, Red Bull had told Verstappen to follow Hamilton in taking the faster, wider line at Turn 4.
      Neither driver exceeded the Turn 4 limit in qualifying, with clear instruction it would lead to their lap time being deletedCredit: YouTube / F1
      Verstappen was well wide of Hamilton as he took the lead
      But the Red Bull was clearly off the track in the overtake
      The Dutchman hunted Hamilton down for their incredible late duel for the lead.
      Finally catching up on lap 53, Verstappen grabbed the lead at Turn 4 but clearly ran wide of the track limits in doing so, despite being given room by the Merc.
      Overtaking while off the track is not allowed in F1, regardless of discussions over track limits, and Red Bull boss Christian Horner told the new race leader to hand back the position.
      Verstappen complied but initially questioned the call, as fans debated how Hamilton was allowed an advantage but his rival was not.
      Had he not returned the position, a time penalty of five or ten seconds would have been dished out by the stewards.
      At first, Verstappen felt he could have opened up such a gap but it would have taken a monumental effort – with the race chiefs also capable of handing down whatever punishment was necessary to ensure he did not win to fully deter future breaches.
      The other question is whether the Red Bull ace would have won had Hamilton not gained the slight advantage every time he ran wide.
      Ironically, the Brit later claimed to have benefited from the instruction to keep it on the track, as it helped save his aging tyres amid Verstappen’s pursuit.

      Hamilton described the situation as ‘confusing’ and said: “Halfway through the race they basically changed their minds and all of a sudden you’re not allowed to go outside that white line.
      “Which is fine for me, it’s actually I think faster in the end for me, and helped me look after my tyres, actually. So I’m grateful for the call.”
      And Verstappen added: “In qualifying, of course, it was not allowed, your lap time got deleted.
      “And so I don’t know how it got to the point where people were doing it without getting warnings.
      “But at the end of the day when I was fighting Lewis, I went outside of the track limits. I think quite quickly the race director was onto us to tell me to give the position back, so that’s exactly what I did.”
      FIA race director Michael Masi later insisted that rules did not change halfway through and that few drivers broke the limits.
      But Horner said: “It was frustrating. We could see as soon as Mercedes started to push they just used that part of the track.
      “We questioned with Race Control that if that’s the case, can we do it? In a nip and tuck battle, there’s a two-tenths advantage using that part of the circuit.

      You can’t say it’s okay to use it in the race, but you can’t overtake out there; it should be black or white, it shouldn’t be shaded grey.Christian Horner

      “Obviously Max ran wide on the pass there, which had been made clear before the race that if someone got an advantage by going out there, they’d have to give it back. He did that immediately, the team instructed him to do it following Race Control instructing us.
      “With these track limit things, they’re always going to be contentious. But we do need to just have a consistent situation.
      “You can’t say it’s okay to use it in the race, but you can’t overtake out there; it should be black or white, it shouldn’t be shaded grey.”

      How Fernando Alonso’s emotional F1 return was cut short by a stray sandwich bag at Bahrain GP

      by

      FERNANDO ALONSO’S ’emotional’ Formula One return was cut short by a stray sandwich bag.The Spaniard, 39, made his comeback to the sport at Sunday’s season-opening Bahrain GP.
      Fernando Alonso had his F1 return scuppered by a stray sandwich bag in BahrainCredit: Splash
      But after two years away from the F1 track, he failed to complete his first race back.
      Veteran Alonso is racing for Renault-backed Alpine in 2021 and the team realised his brake temperatures had rocketed, forcing him to retire on lap 32 of 56.
      And Alpine executive director Marcin Budlowski revealed the wedged sarnie packaging was the bizarre reason which forced the two-time world champ back into the pits.
      Budlowski said: “After the first [pit] stop we had a small issue that forced us to reduce the performance of the car.
      “Then, after the second stop, a sandwich wrap paper got stuck inside the rear brake duct of Fernando’s car, which led to high temperatures and caused some damage to the brake system, so we retired him for safety reasons.
      “It was an unlucky first race for Fernando considering how strong he looked.”
      Alonso started at Sakhir ninth on the grid but got as high as seventh earlier in the race before the freak incident scuppered his emotional day as Lewis Hamilton edged out Max Verstappen to claim the win and the early lead in the championship standings.
      But despite the bitter – or, err, butter – disappointment, the 2005 and 2006 king remained upbeat about being back in the cockpit.

      He said: “It was a shame that we could not see the chequered flag today, because I really enjoyed the whole thing.
      “It was nice to be back at the racing, it was nice to feel again the adrenaline on the starting grid, the national anthem. All these procedures felt very emotional today for me.
      “The race itself was fun at the beginning with the start, a couple of good battles on track in the first stint.
      “And then unfortunately we had to retire the car with a brake issue – apparently there is some debris on the rear brake duct.
      “Nothing we can do now more than thinking now into Imola, and hopefully get some points there.”
      Next up in the F1 calendar is the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at Imola, Italy on April 18.
