Max Verstappen will have a score to settle at Silverstone this weekend following his controversial clash with Lewis Hamilton last year, according to his father Jos. As the pair diced for the lead at the 2021 British Grand Prix, Verstappen and Hamilton touched at the ultra-fast Copse corner, with Verstappen spearing into the barriers at high speed. The Dutchman was taken to hospital as a precaution but fortunately escaped injury. Hamilton incurred a 10-second penalty for causing the collision but still went on to win the race following a late pass on Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc. Verstappen is favourite to win this year’s race and stretch his already healthy championship lead, with his main challengers set to be the Ferraris of Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.

Christian Horner admits Michael Masi made “mistake” during Abu Dhabi title decider
Red Bull boss Christian Horner has conceded former F1 race director Michael Masi made one key error during his handling of the contentious finish to last season’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Lewis Hamilton was on course to secure a record-breaking eighth world title at the 2021 season finale, only for Nicholas Latifi’s crash to trigger a late-race safety car and bunch the field up. The lapped cars between Hamilton and Max Verstappen were initially told they could not overtake the leader, only for that decision to be reversed on the penultimate lap while the lapped cars behind the Red Bull were ordered to hold station. That gave Verstappen one racing lap to overtake Hamilton and pinch the title, which he managed comfortably, sparking jubilation in the Red Bull camp and outcry at Mercedes.

Iowa approves ‘most restrictive abortion bill in US’
Published 2 May 2018 Share close Share page Copy link About sharing The US state of Iowa has approved an abortion law banning most abortions once a foetal heartbeat is detected. Republican lawmakers passed the bill in back-to-back votes, sending it to the governor's desk to sign into law. If it comes into effect the bill will ban most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, and rights groups say it will be the country's most restrictive. Critics argue it will make having an abortion illegal before most women even realise they are pregnant. Iowa's Republican Governor Kim Reynolds has not said if she will sign the bill. Last year, Iowa Republicans successfully banned abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. The past and future of US abortion debate What new restrictions have been approved?
