Gabriel Bortoleto – 4/10Could have fought for Q3 but the Nouvelle chicane crash rather ruined the Audi driver’s weekend.George Russell 6/10Tough weekend. Didn’t look like he had to pace to even match Mercedes team-mate Antonelli. Needless penalties on top of that and it’s a further hit in the championship challenge. Nico Hulkenberg – 6/10Started strong, faded in qualifying but with the chaos could have ended up with points bar a penalty. Franco Colapinto – 4/10Has been looking so good the past few races but Monaco didn’t click. Too many near misses with the wall and how he didn’t shunt into…

The Hall of Famer is perhaps best known for his encounters with Marvin Hagler, Sugar Ray Leonard and Thomas Hearns, who he fought above his natural weight class of 135lbs.

Duran then faced Hagler and Hearns at middleweight and super-welterweight, respectively, only to suffer back-to-back defeats against his fellow…
Russell had continued to insist everything was well – until Monaco. But now it’s out in the open, and he knows he has work to do to turn his season around in terms of pace. Getting on top of what he can control is the key for Russell. The luck, he has to hope, will return one day.”Yesterday was a bad day for me,” he said. “And I take, I accept that. I need to get myself out of… yeah, I don’t know, how we keep ending up in the same position. Things will need to improve, for sure. But…

He ain’t got the punching power or the killer instinct of a Terence Crawford. But damn, he can do it from both sides. He’s smooth on both sides.” Bradley spent much of his breakdown…
