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.

Duran then faced Hagler and Hearns at middleweight and super-welterweight, respectively, only to suffer back-to-back defeats against his fellow…

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.
