Max Verstappen is one penalty point away from a one-race ban after his collision with George Russell in Barcelona [Reuters] Canadian Grand Prix Venue: Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Montreal Dates: 13-15 June Race start: 19:00 BST on Sunday Coverage: Live commentary of first practice, third practice and qualifying on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra 2, with FP2 on Sports Extra. Race is on BBC Radio 5 Live; live text updates on BBC Sport website and app Advertisement Ferrari's Charles Leclerc crashed in first practice at the Canadian Grand Prix as Red Bull's Max Verstappen set the pace. Leclerc misjudged Turn Three after locking his brakes going into the corner and collected the barrier as he speared across the grass, just under halfway through the session. He was fastest at the time but ended the session 10th. Leclerc tried to cut across the grass after locking his brakes on the entry to the difficult right-left chicane but collected a barrier and destroyed the left-hand side of his car. "I'm sorry," Leclerc said to the team over the radio. "I locked up and should have gone straight. I thought I could make the corner but I hit the wall."

Charles Leclerc walks back to the pits after crashing his Ferrari during first practice [Reuters] Mercedes' George Russell was fourth fastest, from Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton, Racing Bulls' Isack Hadjar and McLaren's Lando Norris on a track that was obviously slippery and dirty. Championship leaders McLaren appeared to struggle. Norris had a number of moments around the demanding Circuit Gilles Villeneuve and finished up 12th. The Briton's team-mate Oscar Piastri, the championship leader, was 14th as McLaren tested a new front wing and front suspension. Advertisement The wing is a test item that is not expected to be used after Friday, but the suspension is aimed at curing the 'numb' feeling in the car's front axle that has particularly affected Norris this season. But Norris went off track on the exit of Turn One and came close to losing control at the hairpin a number of times. Racing Bulls' Liam Lawson, Alpine's Pierre Gasly and Leclerc completed the top 10. Gasly's team-mate Franco Colapinto had an early spin at Turn Two without harm and ended up 19th. Red Bull's Yuki Tsunoda was 11th, 0.734secs behind team-mate Verstappen, and Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso 12th.

Austin McCollum earns second in the Texas-Oklahoma Junior Golf Tournament
WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — Austin McCollum is a name one should become familiar with on the links. The freshman won a TAPPS 1A state championship and recently added a T-O Junior Golf Open Championship division runner-up to his collection. 'It was really amazing,' McCollum said. 'I mean, just everybody around me was so supportive. Being a local kid here, I heard there had to be crowd control because of all the people. It was really amazing.' McCollum started day two, two strokes behind the top spot. By the 9th hole, he had a one stroke lead. McCollum battled with Reed Blacklock, a senior from Lubbock, all the way until the final hole. The duo ended up tying, and they went into a tiebreaker. He ended up finishing second in his debut. While this was not the result he wanted, he knows this is just the beginning. 'I think I can learn,' McCollum said. 'I'm the youngest kid in almost every event I've played in, I'm still right there with every single one of them. That is a really big motivator, even coming up just short.' For the full story, please click on the video at the top of this web page. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
