The 18-year-old Italian rookie lost control and collided with the four-times champion on the opening lap, after narrowly missing Racing Bulls' Liam Lawson, with neither able to continue. It was Verstappen's first retirement of the season and left him still third in the championship but now 61 points adrift of McLaren's Oscar Piastri after 11 of 24 rounds. Piastri finished second in a McLaren one-two with race winner Lando Norris. "I braked hard because I was behind other cars, and in that moment I locked the rears. Then I just couldn't stop the car," said Antonelli, who had taken his first career F1 podium in the previous round in Canada. "The car was just taking speed and the crash was inevitable. I just feel super sorry to the team, and to Max of course, because obviously he was just a passenger." Stewards ruled that Antonelli was fully at fault and also gave him two penalty points. At a circuit where he has won a record five times, Verstappen had started seventh on the grid, with Antonelli lining up ninth, "I'm out, I got hit like crazy," Verstappen said over the team radio, with an additional expletive. "It's just unlucky, like yesterday in qualifying," he told Sky Sports television later. "But overall, we didn't really have that great pace anyway this weekend, so a lot of learning for us how we can hopefully do better next weekend. "My mentality doesn't change. We've won a lot in the past. Sometimes you have to accept that you are not winning, and we just try to do the best that we can." The retirement ended a run of 31 grands prix in the points for the Dutch driver, whose fans throng in their thousands to the Red Bull Ring but this time never got to see him race. The start was later than scheduled after Carlos Sainz's Williams got stuck on the grid as cars moved away for the formation lap. Sainz eventually got going and returned to the pitlane, where his car's brakes caught fire before being extinguished by mechanics, with smoke still billowing out as he was pushed back and into retirement.

Soccer-Bayern cruise past Mainz 3-0 but title celebrations on ice
Soccer Football - Bundesliga - Bayern Munich v 1. FSV Mainz 05 - Allianz Arena, Munich, Germany - April 26, 2025 Bayern Munich's Harry Kane in action REUTERS/Gintare Karpaviciute MUNICH, Germany (Reuters) - Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich eased past Mainz 05 3-0 on Saturday but had to put title celebrations on ice after Bayer Leverkusen matched their win to stay eight points behind with three matches left to play. The Bavarians, top on 75 points ahead of Leverkusen in second with 67, can now secure a 34th German league title with a win at RB Leipzig next week. Leroy Sane fired in after good early work from Serge Gnabry to give Bayern a 28th-minute lead. The Bavarians doubled it with Michael Olise's solo effort and superb finish from a tight angle five minutes before the break. Sane twice hit the woodwork in the second half before Eric Dier headed home their third goal in the 84th. Thomas Mueller came on late in the second half to make his 500th league appearance for the club, with the 35-year-old leaving at the end of the season after 25 years at Bayern. He is only the fourth player to reach that mark in the Bundesliga, featuring for just one club. Bundesliga top scorer Harry Kane will miss next week's game at Leipzig after picking up his fifth booking and a suspension. (Reporting by Karolos Grohmann; Editing by Ken Ferris)
