Former F1 racer and Le Mans winner Jochen Mass dies at 78
Former Formula One driver, Jochen Mass, who won the 1975 Spanish Grand Prix has died at 78, as announced by his family on Instagram.
The German's death was due to complications from a stroke suffered in February.
Mass won for McLaren in a 1975 Spanish Grand Prix at Barcelona's Montjuic circuit that was cut short with half points awarded after compatriot Rolf Stommelen's Lola left the track and killed four spectators.
Mass was also involved in Canadian Gilles Villeneuve's fatal 1982 accident that occurred due to a collision while qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix at Zolder, when Villeneuve's Ferrari made contact with the rear of Mass's slower-moving car as the German moved aside to let him pass.

Piastri wins in Spain, Verstappen on brink of a ban
Formula One leader Oscar Piastri won the Spanish Grand Prix in a McLaren one-two with Lando Norris on Sunday while Max Verstappen was left on the brink of a ban after a clash with Mercedes' George Russell. Polesitter Piastri won by 2.471 seconds to go 10 points clear of Norris with his fifth victory in nine races, and McLaren's seventh of the season. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc completed the podium in a race that left the drama to the end with a late safety car deployment. "It's a nice way to bounce back from Monaco. A superb weekend," said Piastri, who finished third last weekend in a race won from pole by Norris. Verstappen, who made four stops in total and ended up fighting on hard tyres against rivals with faster softs, collided with Leclerc and then twice with Russell after the safety car restart with six laps to go. Stewards handed the four-times world champion a 10-second post-race penalty for the second collision with Russell, which appeared deliberate, dropping Verstappen from fifth on the road to 10th. The Dutch driver was also given three penalty points to take his total tally to 11 for the 12 month period. One more before the end of June would incur a one-race ban. Nico Rosberg, Mercedes 2016 world champion and now a pundit for Sky Sports television, said Verstappen should have been black-flagged for what looked to him like intentional retaliation for the earlier contact. Another investigation into the clash with Leclerc drew no further action. Russell finished fourth while Sauber's Nico Hulkenberg finished a surprising and morale-boosting fifth for the future Audi team after passing Ferrari's seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton on the penultimate lap. Hamilton ended up sixth, Isack Hadjar seventh for Racing Bulls and Pierre Gasly eighth for Renault-owned Alpine to cap a solid weekend for the Frenchman celebrating soccer side Paris St Germain's Champions League win. Continuing the football theme, the race was attended by FIFA president Gianni Infantino and most of the England squad while the chequered flag was waved by Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski. FIRST POINTS Ferrari moved up to second from fourth in the constructors' standings, now 197 points behind McLaren. Verstappen remained third in the drivers' championship but now 49 points behind Piastri in what is becoming a McLaren battle. Home hero Fernando Alonso scored his first points of the season in ninth for Aston Martin, who had only one car on the grid due to Lance Stroll's withdrawal through injury after Saturday's qualifying. Piastri led away at the start with Verstappen seizing second from Norris while Hamilton and Leclerc moved up to fourth and fifth as Russell lost out. Hamilton let Leclerc through on lap 10 of 66 after the two Ferraris had run nose to tail. Norris took back second place from Verstappen on lap 13, the Dutch driver making no attempt to defend against the quicker McLaren and pitting in the next lap for fresh tyres. Verstappen took the lead again on lap 23 after Piastri pitted, with Norris making his first stop on lap 21 and coming out behind the Red Bull, but that lasted only until Verstappen pitted for a second time on lap 30. He came in for a third stop on lap 47 but Norris pitted the lap after to defend second place. A safety car deployment on lap 55, after Italian rookie Kimi Antonelli beached his Mercedes in the gravel, bunched up the field and triggered a rash of stops. The McLarens came in together for fresh tyres, double-stacking, and resumed ahead of Verstappen who had only hards available to him. "That safety car just came at the wrong time," he said.

Piastri extends championship lead with victory in Spanish Grand Prix
Formula One leader Oscar Piastri won the Spanish Grand Prix from pole position in a McLaren one-two with Lando Norris on Sunday while Max Verstappen was demoted from fifth to 10th for a late collision with George Russell's Mercedes. Piastri beat teammate and title rival Norris by 2.471 seconds for his fifth win in nine races this season, and McLaren's seventh, to stretch his championship lead to 10 points. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc completed the podium after passing Verstappen's Red Bull six laps from the end of a race that saved the drama to the end. 'It's a nice way to bounce back from Monaco. A superb weekend,' said Piastri, who finished third last weekend in a race won from pole by Norris. McLaren's Oscar Piastri celebrates on the podium after winning the Spanish Grand Prix in Montmelo on Sunday. AFP Verstappen, who made four stops in total and ended up fighting on the slower hard tyres against rivals with softs, collided with Leclerc and then twice with Russell after a safety car restart with six laps to go. 'I've seen those sort of manoeuvres before on simulator games and go-karting but never in F1,' said Russell, who has had clashes before with four times world champion Verstappen. 'I don't really know what was going through his mind.' Nico Rosberg, Mercedes 2016 world champion and now a pundit for Sky Sports television, said Verstappen should have been black-flagged for what looked to him like intentional retaliation for the earlier contact. The 10-second penalty was added to Verstappen's time post-race, with the driver also given three penalty points to take his total tally to 11 for the 12 month period - one step from a one-race ban. Verstappen and Leclerc also faced a post-race investigation for their clash. 'I tried to push him to the left, there was a bit of contact but fortunately no consequences,' said Leclerc. Verstappen claimed the Monegasque had rammed into him and should have given back the place. Russell finished fourth after eventually being let through by Verstappen, who was incensed to be told to do so but reluctantly obeyed. Sauber's Nico Hulkenberg finished a surprising and morale-boosting fifth for the future Audi team after passing Ferrari's seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton on the penultimate lap. Hamilton was a disappointing sixth, Isack Hadjar seventh for Racing Bulls and Pierre Gasly eighth for Renault-owned Alpine.

'That safety car just came at the wrong time,' he said. 'On the straight, I got driven into already and then into Turn One as well. Then they told me to give the position back.' Agencies

Spanish GP talking points: Piastri's 'superb weekend', Verstappen's blood boils and Hadjar eyes promotion
The 2025 Spanish Grand Prix played out under clear skies and the heat of the Catalan sun at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya – a track renowned for exposing the strengths and weaknesses of both car and driver. Long a cornerstone of the Formula One calendar, this year's race lived up to its reputation, delivering high drama, championship-defining moments, and a showcase of standout performances. It was a weekend defined by McLaren's dominance, Max Verstappen's controversies, and inspired drives from across the grid, making it one of the most eventful and revealing rounds of the season so far. Here are the most interesting storylines from the weekend: Piastri lays down title credentials The third Maclaren driver to achieve eight consecutive podium finishes, Piastri once again demonstrated his skill with a textbook-perfect getaway off the line. Piastri remained in command for much of the race, navigating a late safety car period triggered by Kimi Antonelli's retirement. He handled the restart flawlessly, fending off pressure from teammate Lando Norris to secure a McLaren one-two finish. With this win, Piastri extended his lead over his teammate to 10 points in the championship, further cementing his position as a serious title contender. 'I think the pace was really good, we could turn it on when we needed to," the Australian said after the race. "Just very proud of the work we've done this weekend. It wasn't the best first practice, and then we got our stuff together. It's a nice way to bounce back from Monaco, so it's been a superb weekend.' Norris, meanwhile, didn't get the launch he was hoping for, dropping to third off the line. Once again, the McLaren driver showed signs of struggle with race starts, missing the opportunity to capitalise on his strong grid position. Nonetheless, he achieved second place, but conceded: "I lost out to the better guy this weekend.' Should Verstappen have been disqualified? Verstappen's Spanish Grand Prix fell apart in the closing stages, transforming a likely podium into a frustrating 10th-place finish. Running a three-stop strategy to keep pressure on the McLarens ahead, he was on course for P3 before a late safety car, triggered by Kimi Antonelli's engine failure, derailed his race. With no soft tyres left, Red Bull fitted hards, leaving Verstappen struggling for grip at the restart. Charles Leclerc managed to pass him, despite light contact. Told to yield to George Russell for an earlier off-track move, Verstappen slowed to comply but then appeared to make contact with the Mercedes at Turn 5 deliberately. The stewards found him responsible for the incident, issuing a 10-second time penalty along with three penalty points on his super licence, raising his total to 11, just one point away from an automatic race ban. Christian Horner, Red Bull's team principal, later admitted that it would have been better to have left Verstappen on the soft tyres rather than pitting him again. George Rusell was asked for his summation of the incident: 'My perspective is that I just got crashed into! I don't really know why or what the thinking was behind it. In the end, I'm glad that I continued with little damage and ultimately it punished him a lot more than me.' Former champion Nico Rosberg, commenting on the incident, felt that Verstappen ought to have been disqualified. 'Red Bull told him to give up the place, that caused his blood to boil over even more. And then it looked like a very intentional retaliation ... that is something extremely unacceptable.' Joy for Hulkenberg and Sauber Nico Hulkenberg delivered a standout performance, finishing fifth and securing Sauber's best result in three years. Despite being outqualified by his rookie teammate Gabriel Bortoleto for the fifth time this season, Hulkenberg once again demonstrated why his experience remains invaluable. Some eyebrows were raised last year when Sauber, soon to become Audi's works team, signed the then-36-year-old German to a multi-year deal. Now 37, Hulkenberg continues to prove the merit of that decision. When the points are on the table, he's always challenging. Starting in P15 after an early qualifying exit, he made swift progress through the field and opted for an early pit stop. Crucially, after switching to medium tyres, Hulkenberg stretched the stint to over 30 laps with impressive tyre management and composure, key to holding position in the closing stages. His charge included a decisive overtake on Lewis Hamilton, and he was later promoted to fifth following Verstappen's time penalty. The 10 points he scored lifted Sauber off the bottom of the constructors' standings. Part of the turnaround in Spain came courtesy of Sauber's latest upgrade package, which was fitted exclusively to Hulkenberg's car for Friday's sessions. The early signs were promising, and the veteran immediately felt the benefit. 'The car felt good right from the start,' he said on Friday. 'The upgrade package we brought for this weekend appears to be working as intended – the balance has improved, and I felt more confident behind the wheel straight away.' Hamilton's struggles continue 'I've had a really bad day and have nothing to say. It was a difficult day,' said a disappointed Lewis Hamilton. Hamilton's Spanish Grand Prix began on a high note but quickly took a turn for the worse. After matching his best qualifying performance of the season and starting fifth, he made an excellent getaway, overtaking Russell into Turn 1. But the momentum didn't last; within nine laps, he was ordered to yield to teammate Charles Leclerc, a move that marked the start of a frustrating downward trajectory. Despite managing car issues throughout practice, seven-time world champion Hamilton had been optimistic after qualifying, even suggesting he could fight for a podium. But on race day, he couldn't keep up with the McLaren of Lando Norris and gradually slipped back. Leclerc, once past, surged to a surprise podium, while Hamilton faded. Team boss Fred Vasseur later revealed Hamilton had suffered an unspecified problem with the car before the late safety car, though he gave no specifics. As for Leclerc, he displayed strong pace throughout the race and positioned himself perfectly to take advantage when a late Safety Car came into play. He seized the moment as Verstappen ahead of him struggled on the hard tyres. Pulling alongside the Red Bull on the main straight during the restart, there was slight contact between the two. The incident was reviewed by the stewards, who ultimately deemed that 'neither driver was wholly or predominantly to blame." From there, Leclerc held firm in third place, securing a well-earned podium in the closing laps. Will Hadjar be promoted? Isack Hadjar continued his impressive rookie campaign, finishing seventh for Racing Bulls and earning points for the third race in a row. Starting from ninth after making it into Q3 for the third consecutive weekend, the young French-Algerian once again displayed remarkable composure. Hadjar pulled off several daring overtakes, including a standout move on Pierre Gasly at Turn 3. He said: "I'm really happy with today's race, it was a strong performance and almost perfect, something the whole team can be proud of. I really enjoyed the first stint, though it's a shame Nico got us right at the end.' With 21 points this season, Hadjar is rapidly emerging as one of the most exciting and consistent rookies on the grid. It's little surprise that speculation is mounting over Red Bull potentially promoting their rising talent. Will he take over from Yuki Tsunoda? Tsunoda's recent form has raised concerns, finishing 17th in Monaco and qualifying last in Spain. With mounting pressure and an apparent disconnect between driver and car, questions are growing over how much longer he can hold onto his seat before Red Bull's famously unforgiving driver policy takes effect.
