Motorsport: Formula One Monaco Grand Prix
Sunday 7 June, 2.30pm, Sky Sports F1® HD (CH 507)

It’s glitzy and glamorous, but the Formula One drivers won’t be distracted by the surroundings of Monte Carlo; once they’re in their cars, they’ll be locked in for the race. (Plus many of them live there anyway, so it’s like going for a spin around the neighbourhood.) Mercedes’ George Russell had a great chance to cut into his team-mate Kimi Antonelli’s championship lead in Canada after winning the sprint race and qualifying on pole for the GP, but a power unit failure put paid to the British driver’s potential victory. He’ll be keen to do better in Monaco, where Antonelli struggled last year. Ferrari, McLaren and Red Bull all need to up their game if they’re not to be left behind.
