Dunne among seven drivers eliminated after Monaco crash
Jak Crawford secured his second win of the Formula 2 season after a crash eliminated seven drivers from the feature race in Monaco on Sunday.
Polesitter Alex Dunne and Victor Martins were involved in a first-lap collision that resulted in a red flag with several cars stuck behind the incident at the opening corner.
The crash occurred after ART Grand Prix driver Martins attempted to overtake Dunne's Rodin Motorsport car coming into the first corner, with the ensuing contact resulting in Dunne pinning Martins' vehicle to the barrier.
In addition to Irishman Dunne and France's Martins, Richard Verschoor, Gabriele Mini, Ritomo Miyata, Josep Maria Marti and Max Esterson were all removed from the race following the incident.
Following a 50-minute delay, a crash later in the race involving Dino Beganovic at Casino Square resulted in a second red flag.
At the end of a chaotic and disrupted race, DAMS Lucas Oil driver Crawford followed up last week's sprint win at Imola.
"Oh my gosh. That was the race of my dreams," said 20-year-old American Crawford.
"Avoiding the crash at the start was just the first bit. Around the safety car and trying to get into the pit.
"Oh my god! It was the craziest thing ever. I'm so lucky, the pace was good too. It was an incredible day."
Leonardo Fornaroli finished second, but while Arvid Lindblad crossed in third, his five-second time penalty Sebastian promoted Montoya to the podium.
Luke Browning, who finished fourth ahead of Lindblad, moves top of the championship standings on 70 points, three clear of Dunne who led entering Sunday's race.
The Formula 2 season continues with the sixth round in Barcelona next week.

French Open recap: Lorenzo Musetti avoids default after kicking ball into linesperson
Follow The Athletic's French Open coverage Welcome to the French Open briefing, where The Athletic will explain the stories behind the stories on each day of the tournament. On day 10, tennis' bizarre relationship with unsportsmanlike conduct took another twist, the wind whipped up the clay on Court Philippe-Chatrier, and Roland Garros' decision to keep line judges came under scrutiny. Lorenzo Musetti is headed to the semifinals of the French Open, but he could easily be heading home. Musetti, the occasionally feisty Italian, cruised through the first set of his quarterfinal against Frances Tiafoe on Tuesday afternoon. In the second, things started to go south. His slice backhand wasn't biting. His forehand was flying. Tiafoe had gotten used to his spins and was outplaying him. Advertisement As the second set wound down, Musetti vented by kicking a ball toward the back wall of Court Philippe-Chatrier. It accidentally whacked a line judge near her shoulder. The ball wasn't moving particularly fast, but sending a ball in flight in anger and hitting anyone with it, much less a line judge, comes with a ball abuse penalty that can include being ejected from the tournament. Tennis is weird about defaults — the ultimate penalty for bad behavior, which involves automatically losing the match. Whether or not a player smacks a ball in frustration, or throws or kicks it like Musetti, the penalty more often than not is outcome-based. If the person struck is in distress, the player gets defaulted, they are allowed to continue. But per the rulebook, that should be irrelevant. 'Players shall not violently, dangerously or with anger hit, kick or throw a tennis ball while on the grounds of the tournament site except in the reasonable pursuit of a point during a match (including warm-up). 'For purposes of this rule, abuse of balls is defined as intentionally or recklessly hitting a ball out of the enclosure of the court, hitting a ball dangerously or recklessly within the court or hitting a ball with disregard of the consequences.' The problem with the logic currently applied is that it gives players credit for being in control of something which they are not in control of. Smashing or kicking a ball into a crowd of people or an enclosed space is risky. Whether or not it hits someone with a glancing blow or square on is pure luck. On this occasion, chair umpire Timo Janzen let Musetti off with a warning. Tiafoe complained, but to no avail. Novak Djokovic was defaulted from the 2020 U.S. Open when he whacked a ball that inadvertently hit a line judge in the throat. Two years ago at Roland Garros, doubles player Miyu Kato and her partner were defaulted after Kato accidentally hit a ball kid in the neck when returning a ball to her — not even swatting it in frustration. Advertisement Kato originally received a warning, but her opponents complained and the supervisor ultimately disqualified Kato and her partner, Aldila Sutjiadi of Indonesia. The year before, Romania's Irina-Camelia Begu accidentally bounced her racket into the crowd. It hit a small child, who started crying but his parents said he was fine. She received a warning. If all this sounds a bit inconsistent, it is. Tiafoe was still annoyed with Janzen's handling of the situation an hour after the end of the match. He called the decision 'comical.' 'He did that and nothing happened,' Tiafoe said. 'Obviously it's inconsistent.' Musetti said later he was scared that he was going to get booted from the tournament. 'I did not want to harm anybody,' he said. 'There was no intention about it.' Matt Futterman Sports stadiums can be weird places when it comes to wind. The air can be nearly still four stories up, but swirling about at court level. That was Court Philippe-Chatrier on Tuesday, the second quarterfinal day for the men and the women. There were several moments during Iga Świątek's match against Elina Svitolina when the players had to stop and turn their heads away from the wind to avoid getting a mouthful of red dust. Players talk about feeling like small bugs in the cavernous stadium, which seats just 15,000. The stands slope gently outward, leaving a low broad opening at the top, while the retractable roof slides over from just one side, leaving a big opening at the top for gusts to get in. This was not as bad as 2019, when gusts measured at nearly 50 mph (and Rafael Nadal) sent Roger Federer packing in their semifinal. But it was not great. In tennis, wind direction can be just as important as its speed. Wind will make serving difficult regardless, but it has its clearest impact when it is blowing parallel to the sidelines, rather than perpendicular. At one end, players have to be wary of overhitting with the breeze at their back. On the other, they have to be mindful of how much it will hold up their shots. The player receiving a ball with wind behind it needs to react quicker; if it's slowing a ball down, their footwork needs to take them to it and adjust to any sudden changes of direction. Advertisement If air is buffeting around a stadium every which way, things get a little more chaotic. Świątek said the worst wind she has experienced was at Wimbledon, where she has problems on the grass even when it's still, but this was rough. 'In the second set, it got pretty crazy,' Świątek said. 'I never had that here, but in the first set it wasn't that bad. I think it kind of slowed down also at the end of the match.' Of course she thought that: she served three aces in the final game of her 6-1, 7-5 win. Matt Futterman From the start of play, it's felt inevitable that the French Open's decision to opt for line judges over electronic line calling (ELC) would come under scrutiny. Mixed events on clay, and every other surface, use ELC, but the tournament opted against it. The France Tennis Federation (FFT) president, Gilles Moretton, said in April that this was because it trusts their industry-leading officials to do a good job, claiming last week that ELC had been shown not to be totally effective at the earlier clay events this year. The downside of no ELC was duly exposed Tuesday when at a critical moment in the quarterfinal between Aryna Sabalenka and Zheng Qinwen, a bad error from the officials could have made a major difference. With Zheng serving at 5-6, 30-30, Sabalenka hit a backhand that looked to have drifted long — so much so that Zheng stopped the point, despite there being no out call. The umpire got off her chair to inspect the mark, and backed up the line judge's call, but television replays using Hawk-Eye technology showed that the ball had actually been 7mm out. ELC has a margin of error, but it is smaller than 7mm. Given the speed at which Sabalenka's ball was traveling, it should have been relatively easy for the line judge to track, but bad errors like this are always possible with humans calling the lines. Zheng was able to hold her serve, so the incorrect call didn't have a material impact on the match, but it's an embarrassing look for the sport that such a critical call at a Grand Slam could have been botched like that. Advertisement There were a couple of further wrong calls that were at least correctly overruled by the umpire. The FFT did not respond to a request for comment on the officiating errors from the match. Later on Chatrier, Tiafoe was involved in a number of heated discussions with the umpire Janzen during his defeat to Musetti. On one occasion in the fifth set, Janzen got off his chair and incorrectly overruled an out call. The players are generally in favour of ELC, partly because while they know it's not completely infallible, there's certainty and no argument. Speaking of arguments, it's getting harder and harder to make one for relying on humans to make these decisions. Charlie Eccleshare Pretty much everyone who even vaguely follows tennis knows about or remembers the Rafael Nadal vs. Roger Federer Wimbledon final in 2008. Very few remember either of their paths to that final, however. Both were incredibly straightforward, with just one set dropped between them along the way. As the rounds went on, it felt as though each was trying to outdo the other and send out a little statement. Something similar is happening here, where the top two seeds Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are taking it in turns to showcase their title credentials in their bids to set up a meeting in Sunday's final. After Sinner eviscerated Jiří Lehečka Saturday for the loss of just three games, Alcaraz beat a much tougher opponent in Ben Shelton the following day, even if it took him four sets. Sinner then thrashed a similarly ranked opponent to Shelton in Andrey Rublev on Sunday night, losing eight games. Not to be outdone, Alcaraz only gave up five in a 6-0, 6-1, 6-4 battering of American world No. 12 Tommy Paul on Tuesday night. Sinner took two hours to beat Rublev; Alcaraz only took 94 minutes to get past Paul, who was physically hampered but would not have quelled the version of Alcaraz he played even at full fitness. Advertisement The way it's been going, perhaps Sinner was watching Alcaraz's masterclass against Paul and thinking about how he could improve on it in his own quarterfinal Wednesday. So good luck, Alexander Bublik. Charlie Eccleshare Tell us what you noticed on the tenth day… (Top photo of Lorenzo Musetti: Alain Jocard / AFP via Getty Images; design: Eamonn Dalton / The Athletic)

2025 UEFA Women's Nations League: France Stay Perfect, Switzerland Relegated And Ukraine Promoted
France maintained a 100% record in their group. (Photo by SEBASTIEN BOZON/AFP via Getty Images) ... More With the league stage played out in the space of a few months in the first half of the year, the 2025 UEFA Women's Nations League has served as a great appetizer ahead of the Euros. Many of the tournament favorites were in action in League A, while there were some interesting stories and results elsewhere too. Each of the top three from the inaugural edition of the Women's Nations League sealed a return to the knockouts, but they all did so in different ways. In Group A1, Germany's first piece of competitive action under new head coach Christian Wück resulted in an entertaining 2-2 draw with the Netherlands. They proceeded to run away with the group thereafter, scoring 24 more goals and winning all five remaining group games comprehensively, including an emphatic 4-0 triumph over the Dutch to seal first place at the end of May. Austria finished third with six points, while Scotland was relegated after losing each of their first five games. France was even more commanding in Group A2, as they won all six games and kept clean sheets on all but one occasion. Norway was a distant second and followed by Iceland, while upcoming Euro host Switzerland finished last with just two points. Legendary head coach Pia Sundhage certainly has a task on her hands ahead of this summer's big tournament. Group A3 had all sorts of drama from start to finish. Just on the opening day, European champion England was held to a draw by Portugal while world champion Spain had to stage a dramatic late turnaround to beat Belgium 3-2. Ultimately, the two heavy-hitters went head to head for the top spot and semi-final berth. England won their first meeting by a solitary goal, but Spain staged another turnaround in the reverse fixture to win the group on the final day. Montse Tomé's side might have accumulated 15 points, but they are now without a clean sheet in 10 games and will need to tighten up at the back to meet expectations at the Euros. Spain's defense never looked entirely solid in this Nations League campaign. (Photo by Eric ...) The last group was nicely set up for an exciting finish as three teams remained in contention for the top spot on the final day, with only Wales' position confirmed at the bottom. However, Sweden raced to a three-goal lead in just over 10 minutes and went on to beat Denmark 6-1, leaving little room for any drama. Italy capitalized to finish second and avoid the relegation playoff. League B featured many teams that participated in the Euro 2025 Qualifying playoffs last year. Among them were Poland, who are set to make their debut at a major women's international tournament this summer. They certainly warmed up nicely by dominating Group B1, finishing with double of second-placed Northern Ireland's eight-point tally. Slovenia and Ireland finished level on points at the top of Group B2 with 15 each, but the former's 4-0 home head-to-head win earned them the top spot and with it, direct promotion to League A. At the bottom, Greece got the unwanted record of being the only pointless team in the top two divisions of the Nations League. Euro qualifiers Finland faced a tougher test in Group B3, where they were beaten to the top spot by Serbia. So, they will have to compete against a League A side in the promotion/relegation playoffs, which will be held in October. The promoted side from Group B4 was Ukraine, who edged ahead of Czechia thanks to a superior head-to-head record. Croatia was relegated after losing each of their first five games, thus finishing behind Albania. The directly promoted teams from League C are Slovakia, Malta, Luxembourg, Montenegro, Israel and Latvia. The Faroe Islands impressed by accumulating 10 points in six games, but perhaps the biggest story of all was Liechtenstein's final-day draw with Armenia, which earned them their first point in competitive action. Though it might not seem much, it marks a commendable effort from a team taking part in their first-ever official tournament.

Nottingham Forest hope Nicolas Dominguez will recover from knee injury before start of new season
Nottingham Forest hope that Nico Dominguez will recover for the start of the new Premier League season after the midfielder suffered a knee injury. Dominguez has had to withdraw from international duty with Argentina because of the problem, which has seen him require treatment to repair a meniscus issue. Advertisement The 26-year-old established himself as a regular under Nuno Espirito Santo in the final stages of the campaign, as Forest secured European football for the first time in three decades. His form was enough to earn him a call-up for the World Cup qualifiers in Chile on June 6 and at home to Colombia on June 11. Dominguez last played for his country in a 0-0 draw with Brazil in November 2021, but will have to wait a little while longer for his next cap. Dominguez, who signed from Bologna in September 2023, made 23 starts and 11 substitute appearances in the top flight for Forest last season, as Forest pushed for a top-five finish – before ultimately finishing seventh, to secure a place in the Conference League next season. The player, who began his career at Velez Sarsfield in his home country, will be assessed in the coming weeks and throughout pre-season. But there is a hope that he could yet return for the start of the new campaign in August, if his recovery timeline goes positively.
