      The 24-year-old says he lost personal items including racing helmets and engraved watches.
      He wrote on Instagram: “Some people really are without values, disrespectful and despicable.
      “My house in Normandy has been burgled and ransacked, had BRM watches engraved in my name stolen.
      “Tag Heuer (watches) jewels, clothes, glasses, racing helmets. 

      “Please contact me if you have/see or hear any information.”
      Meanwhile, Valteri Bottas says he lost three kilos of SWEAT during the Spanish GP – and blamed his new black overalls.

      His Mercedes team have changed the colour of their car’s livery this season from silver to black to support the team’s anti-racism message.
      And in doing so, they also changed the colour of the race suits from white to black but in the searing heat in Spain, Bottas feels they contributed to him over heating.

      During the race, he radioed the team saying “these black overalls are f****** hot”.
      He later said: “It was really hot in the car. This year, it’s been even hotter in the car.
      “Obviously, we had to change the colour of the overalls. And it’s known that black colour takes more of the heat, especially when there’s direct sun.
      “I don’t know any number or facts, how much actually black versus white is in terms of temperature difference, but this year, it’s been really hot in the car.

      Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari going through ‘awkward divorce’ as F1 woes between pair continue, says Ross Brawn

      by

      SEBASTIAN VETTEL and Ferrari are going through an “awkward” divorce according to F1’s Managing Director, Ross Brawn.
      The Englishman spent 10 years at the Italian team and knows how the politics work at Maranello.

      Four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel is mulling over a potential move to Racing Point from Ferrari
      Vettel was again out-spoken about the team’s strategy in Spain but managed to drag the car home for a seventh-place finish.
      The four-time world champion, who expressed his shock at not being offered new terms by Ferrari, is now weighing up a move to Racing Point, who will become renamed Aston Martin.
      And Brawn says while Ferrari and Vettel go through the motions, their relationship will prove increasingly difficult to manage.

      “When a driver has been told he is no longer needed, it’s one of the most difficult times for a team
      Ross Brawn

      He said: “It’s tough to watch Sebastian and Ferrari go through the motions right now, with both sides knowing that the end of their relationship is almost upon them.

      “They are in that period of a divorce where the papers have been served, but the divorce hasn’t gone through. It’s very awkward.
      “The chemistry between a driver and their team is so important. You’re part of a team and you succeed as a team, and fail as a team.
      “Managing that dynamic is always a challenge.

      Bottas was third in Spain and now sits 43 points adrift of his Mercedes teammate, Lewis Hamilton.
      He is also six behind Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and the Finn knows he is dropping out of the title race once again.
      After the race, he added: “I have no clue actually what the points difference is, but it’s way too big and I can see again the championship drifting away.
      “[We] will take a couple of days to look at everything and see what went wrong and again move on, but obviously at this point it’s very disappointing.”
