I first encountered the new Scenic at its global launch in Munich last September, in the presence of legendary French composer Jean-Michel Jarre, who helped create its electric car signature sound.

www.dailymail.co.uk, May 17, 2024
Road rage comes to Imola. And, as sure as the sun sets in the west, the spat involved Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen, who came within inches of colliding. Fury rising, Verstappen believed he was being impeded by Hamilton while on a flying lap during practice for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. The Dutchman tugged his right hand low on the steering wheel to veer close to Hamilton's front-left wheel as he passed him, before slowing down and shaking his left fist - and head - in frustration. Hamilton had just waved his hand in apology to the Dutchman, who requires minimal stimulus to sharpen his elbows, and by that point the red mist had descended.

THE NOTEBOOK: A dramatic late double by former Stoke forward Joselu sent Real Madrid through to the Champions League final at Wembley after a 4-3 aggregate win over Bayern Munich at the Santiago Bernabeu. The tie had been evenly-poised after four goals were shared in the first leg of the semi-final in Germany last week. Madrid had an impressive 13-month unbeaten home record and a wealth of European history behind them, but they were on the verge of a second consecutive last-four exit in this competition when Bayern substitute Alphonso Davies produced a 68th-minute rocket.

Toto Wolff names 'strongest' candidate to replace Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes... and explains how the driver has won over him as he prepares to make huge decision

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 11, 2024
The Silver Arrows chief has a blockbuster decision to make in coming months with Hamilton, who has been with Mercedes since 2013, moving to Ferrari for 2025. Carlos Sainz, the man who he will replace and winner of this season's Australian GP, is an obvious candidate to go the other way and take Hamilton's seat. Max Verstappen would be the top choice in the event he departs Red Bull, while Fernando Alonso ate breakfast with Wolff in February, sparking the rumour mill. Sebastian Vettel's name has also come up as he is an uncontracted four-time world champion.

Max Verstappen warns Red Bull that signing Fernando Alonso to be his teammate would be'strange' to his teammate, even though he admits it's unlikely' to recruit the Spanish star

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 6, 2024
After the Spaniard was tipped for a potential return to the Austrian superpower for next season, Max Verstappen admitted that it would be'strange' if Red Bull recruit Fernando Alonso as a driver. Alonso, 42, is the oldest driver on the grid, but his stellar performances with Aston Martin since joining the team last year have put him in a prime spot for one of the best seats on the grid. Sergio Perez currently serves as Belgium's teammate, but he's under pressure to perform after a difficult season that culminated in second place in the championship standings but 290 points behind Verstappen, who won his third straight title.

According to JONATHAN McEVOY, the twist in the Christian Horner saga that few predicted coming - and what an email sign-off could reveal about his future

www.dailymail.co.uk, April 4, 2024
POLE POSITION JONATHAN McEVOY: His former PA is back in the Red Bull fold, which is a twist in the Christian Horner story. Since the fallout that has seen a female employee of his suspended from his job, I am told she is organising her diary. Nicole Carling, who has been contacted by journalists to ask if she wanted to talk about Horner, is acting as a 'internal assistant,' with her email sign-off. It would appear that Horner's denial of allegations would derail rumors that she was going to air complaints about any maltreatment.
