The drama in Monaco ended Hamilton's victory Mercedes driver Luis Hamilton triumphed for the Monaco Grand Prix ahead of Sebastian Vettel and Valtteri Bottas. SOURCE: B92 Photo by Mark Thompson / Getty Images The Mercedes team this season had a double victory in each race, as either Valtteri Bottas or Luis Hamilton reached the triumph. In the qualifications for the Monaco Grand Prix, British driver Luis Hamilton best showed himself, who secured the pole position. What is the most common scenario in Monaco is that the winner of the qualification is generally the winner of the race. This is how it was this time, Hamilton went from the first place, retained him after the first curve and finally after the big drama came to victory, in front of Max Verstappen and Sebastian Vettel. This triumph gets even more important when looking at the wider picture. Hamilton has long reported problems with the front left tire, which apparently was not in good shape, but did not allow anyone to jeopardize his position. Verstappen had several chances to overtake. Before the end of the race, he was in a good position, but after contact with Hamilton, he was clinging to the wall and remained without a fight for a better position. Max Verstappen was hit by Valtteri Bottas when he left the box and was given five seconds penalty and a position four, so he will not end up on the podium stand. That incident was best used by Sebastian Vettel, who was in number two, after not very good qualifications for Ferrari. His teammate, Charles Lackler did not have a race to remember, after he had to pull the car after a series of incidents and the involvement of the safety car, so he did not finish the race against the "domestic audience." Pierre Gasly boasts the fifth place and the fastest round of the race. After setting the time 1: 14: 279.

Unprecedented global scandal! American giant Nike penalizes sportsmen who have made a break for pregnancy-related reasons Nike's sports giant Nike announced that it has reviewed recent criticism of the American athletics star Allyson Felix and will drop the performance clauses contained in the men's contract on returning from maternity leave, according to the New York Times. "We understand, we, Nike, that we have to do more and that it is a unique opportunity for the sports sector in general to evolve to better support sports , " said a Nike spokesman for the US daily. According to the Times, after bringing a child to the world, each athlete under contract with Nike sees his conditional pay for 12 months of his performance. And it is precisely this clause that the US group has pledged to suppress. Allyson Felix deplored on Wednesday in the New York Times that Nike is penalizing sportsmen who have made a career break for pregnancy-related reasons. Olympic gold medalist sextuple (4x100m and 200m relay) reported that the big US sports equipment concern has reduced its sponsorship fees compared to 2018 due to its task. The 33-year-old champion has joined other members of the US athletics team, Alysia Montano and Kara Goucher, who have launched similar allegations in a Times investigation last week. "It's the example of a sports industry where rules are still mainly made by men and women," said Allyson Felix, who aims at the fifth Tokyo Tokyo participation in 2020. Felix, who gave birth to a daughter in December, explained that he decided to start a family last year, despite fears about the negotiations on renewing his contract with Nike, which expired at the end of 2017. The new contract provides an amount less 70 percent than the previous one. "If they think that's worth it, then I accept," said the athlete, who did not get the guarantee to avoid a penalty in case of unsatisfactory performance due to pregnancy. "I wanted to create a precedent, if I, one of Nike's most sold sports, can not get these protections, then who?" Nike refused, "we are at a dead end," added the champion. https://www.telekomsport.ro/scandal-fara-precedent-la-nivel-mondial-gigantul-american-nike-penalizeaza-sportivele-care-au-facut-o-pauza-din-motive-legate-de-sarcina-19015115
