️ Main race begins at 3pm (BST) at Silverstone ️ Antonelli claims pole after sprint race win | Email John Today’s proceedings had a twist , with drivers out in Lego karts. All a bit of fun, though one driver wasn’t so keen. In a Viaplay interview, Max Verstappen said this: “I prefer to play with Lego at home, you know, with the kids. Not on a go-kart here, to be honest. I prefer to stand on a truck, just with everyone together. I think that’s more fun and I think it also looks more professional. “At the end of the day we are Formula One drivers, I think we should not look like kids and clowns trying to ram into each other. I don’t think that is what Formula One needs, but it is what it is.” The competition was tight and intense so Antonelli was pushed hard, but on the final runs he found a level that could not be matched. The 19-year-old, who leads the world championship and won the sprint race on Saturday morning, had almost two-tenths on Charles Leclerc in second and three-tenths on Hamilton in third, no small margins.

France is through to the round of 16 after a fierce battle with Paraguay. Paraguay sat in a low block and tried to frustrate les Bleus, often committing bad fouls, all of which went unpunished. Kylian Mbappé scored the only goal of the game, converting a penalty. Morocco were slightly stunned by Canada in the first half of their game in Houston, unfortunately, the Canucks were unable to keep the pressure going and conceded the first goal of the fixture just after half time. Last minute risks did not pay off for the co-hosts who suffered two more goals at the hands of the Atlas Lions. That 3-0 win means that Morocco will face France in the quarter finals, a dramatic remake of the 2022 World Cup.
