Kimi Antonelli made it three wins on the bounce with victory in Miami, as the Mercedes man extended his lead at the top of the Drivers' Championship to 20 points.
Red Bull driver Isack Hadjar crashed into the wall on Lap 6 of the Miami Grand Prix.
Despite showing promising improvement in Miami, Max Verstappen struggled to place higher than fifth after spinning out on the opening lap.
The Independent reports that "more than a third of children in the UK have found a way around age verification measures" for social media sites and other online platforms. And new research from online safety organisation Internet Matters "suggests one in six parents have helped their child to get past age verification checks, with children reporting 'tricking' platforms into thinking they are older. "
Parents also said they had caught their children drawing on facial hair in a bid to evade the technology. One mother said: "I did catch my son using an eyebrow pencil to draw a moustache on his face, and it verified him as 15 years old"... From a sample of 1,000 UK children, 46% said they believed age checks are easy to bypass, while 32% admitted to having done so.
49% of the children surveyed said they'd still encountered harmful content, according to the online safety activists. The group called the figure "unacceptable," and complained that age verification measures "are often ineffective in practice or easy to bypass."

Those teams: Vitor Pereira has channeled his inner Unai Emery and made eight changes to the side that beat Aston Villa on Thursday night. Morato, Nico Dominguez and Igor Jesus are the only survivors as a host of first choice players drop to the bench for a rest.
It’s a risky strategy that may prove to have backfired come season’s end, but Pereira clearly feels his players have enough about them to pick up the points they need to avoid relegation in their remaining games, even if they lose today. And let’s face it, given they are playing Chelsea-in-freefall, there’s every chance Forest won’t lose today.

Calling all Kirstys! A schoolgirl from Tunbridge Wells in Kent is seeking people who share her name to help raise money for research into paediatric brain tumours like the one for which she is being treated.
Kirsty Waugh, who turns 12 on Monday, has already persuaded more than 10,000 Kirstys, Kirsties, Kersties and assorted other variants to plot their locations on a map that shows Kirstys can be found everywhere from Colombia to Malaysia, and even at the Rothera research station in Antarctica.

Angel Otero is on the brink of tears. He’s describing the feeling of being part of fellow Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny’s La Casita – a set the musician used on stage during his 31-show residency on the island last year, a recreation of a typical single-storey home found across Puerto Rico and the wider Latin American diaspora.
“When I was invited, of course, I accepted,” Otero tells me, standing in his temporary studio in Somerset. “Although I tend to shy away from things like that. The replica is a very similar setting to the one I grew up in, and I had multiple feelings when I got there. Of course, there’s the spectacle of being on the stage of a significant artist of our time, who is from my island. But it also transported me into the subject I’ve been working on for so long. It was a sort of validation, seeing people enjoying the culture, people specifically from my kind of upbringing.”

All parties struggle to invest local elections with meaning, because no party can alter the consequences of what is coming up to two decades of austerity. They can promise they’ll work hard for local people, and many of them will, but they can’t change the maths of inadequate funding and soaring social care costs. All they can do is hope to exist in an affluent enough area.
Instead, the results are taken as a popularity contest, which – if things go your way – will hopefully supply enough buoyancy to last into a general election, and, if things don’t, will hopefully evaporate.

“This is perhaps the most difficult moment of my career.” It was not, it is fair to say, what Andrei Kramaric had expected on a day – and a week – that was going along like a dream. Two days after he had extended his expiring contract for two years at “my second home”, Hoffenheim’s all-time record scorer had dragged them even closer to a surprise return to the Champions League, scoring goals 157 and 158 for the club on a sunny afternoon with the mood of celebration in the air, as they dominated direct rivals Stuttgart. But in the 95th minute, up popped the visitors’ Tiago Tomás out of nowhere to shatter it all. In the race for the top four in the Bundesliga, life comes at you fast.
One could understand Kramaric’s difficulties in absorbing what had just happened. When he left the field in stoppage time to the warm applause of the PreZero Arena Hoffenheim were in fourth position, the (likely) final Champions League spot which they have worked so hard to recover in recent weeks after a big wobble either side of Easter. By the time that the Croatia striker got comfy on the bench his team had seen their lead improbably evaporate, and when he sat down for dinner they were in sixth, following Bayer Leverkusen’s 4-1 demolition of RB Leipzig in the early evening Topspiel.

Anish Kapoor says the US should be excluded from the Venice Biennale because of the country’s “abhorrent politics of hate” and its “incessant warmongering”.
The artist, who represented Britain at the 1990 edition, told the Guardian that he commended the biennale jury’s decision to resign just a few days before the event, which is billed as the “Olympics of art”, in protest at the inclusion of Israel and Russia.

Jean-Luc Mélenchon, France’s radical left leader, has confirmed he will run again for president next spring, saying it was urgent for the country to stand up against war being waged by the US and Israel in the Middle East.
The 74-year-old veteran leader of La France Insoumise (LFI), announced in an interview with the French broadcaster TF1 that he would run for the presidency for the fourth time in 2027.

Koperdieven blijven zeer actief in de regio. Zo hebben ze vorige week koperen regenpijpen gestolen van de Dorpskerk in Spijkenisse. Ook een scheepswerf in Krimpen aan den IJssel heeft bezoek gehad van inbrekers, al kwamen zij niet ver.
Op de pro-formazitting werd meer duidelijk over de geestelijke gesteldheid van de 33-jarige man bij wie een bijl was aangetroffen met de naam Alexia erop. Hij verklaarde zich voor te bereiden op een survivaltocht met de prinses.

AMSTERDAM (ANP) - Het Nationaal Monument op de Dam is weer schoon nadat het maandag vroeg in de ochtend werd beklad, ziet een ANP-verslaggever. Het monument ter nagedachtenis aan de Tweede Wereldoorlog werd met een grote hoeveelheid rode substantie, waarschijnlijk verf, besmeurd. Ook werd er 'genocide' op geschreven.
Het Parool heeft beelden in handen gekregen waarop de actie is vastgelegd. De Amsterdamse krant zegt die te hebben gekregen van de actiegroep Palestine Action Amsterdam, maar het is niet bekend of ze de actie ook hebben opgeëist. Het ANP kon de groep vooralsnog niet bereiken.
Op de beelden zijn drie mensen te zien. Het monument zou rond 04.30 uur zijn beklad, zo'n veertien uur voordat de Tweede Wereldoorlog daar wordt herdacht. Een schoonmaakploeg was sinds vroeg in de ochtend bezig het monument te reinigen. De politie is op zoek naar in ieder geval drie verdachten die regenkleding droegen en een witte boodschappentas bij zich hadden.
