Leclerc looks back on disappointing Monaco GP
Charles Leclerc is still disappointed that he was unable to start from pole position at Monaco, but has taken to Twitter to say he is very sporty and happy with team-mate Carlos Sainz's good result.
Sunday still hurts but there’s a lot we can be happy about. After a tough 2020, to be back at the front of the grid and scoring a podium with Carlos is a great reward for everyones hard work. Monaco I love you and hopefully one day you will love me back. We'll keep pushing pic.twitter.com/KAmuXM5jXc

Verstappen meets his 'half FUT team' after winning Monaco
Max Verstappen won the Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday, and was congratulated by two famous football stars. Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé of Paris Saint Germain and Barcelona respectively, came to congratulate the Red Bull driver. Verstappen jokingly says that he was congratulated by half of his FUT team (FUT is FIFA Ultimate Team, a game mode of the popular football game FIFA, where you can create your own team).

Did Perez hit the wall, or is this just perfection?
In Monaco, you always drive on the limit. You want to be as close to the wall as possible. If you are too far from the wall you lose time, but if you are too close it can be the end of the session. Sergio Perez was particularly close to the barrier on Thursday. Watch the footage a few times and ask yourself: Did Perez hit the wall or not?
Dit is zo heerlijk! Na dertig keer kijken vraag ik me nog steeds af: toucheert Perez de meebuigende vangrail lichtjes of zou er nog een nanometer tussen zitten? pic.twitter.com/h1YGhwruFp

Mission failed
Sebastian Vettel is a driver who is in for a joke and recently he was asked to tell a joke. He didn't have one ready then. Today at the press conference he did and he seized the moment to share that joke. Without success, however, because the joke did not really come across. Mission failed for the German, check the fragment below.

Norris ends up in F1 game during negotiations with McLaren
A nice video from McLaren, in which you see the so-called contract negotiations from the perspective of Lando Norris, but in the form of a game. The Formula 1 game from Codemasters (now EA) was not as advanced as this footage in recent years. That would be something....
Continue game? @LandoNorris pic.twitter.com/udFRMV3EGG
