Leclerc overturns Max by winning Monaco GP

By -

 Charles Leclerc was initially left speechless after achieving the Monaco Grand Prix victory he had been craving with a cool, calm and collected drive around his home streets on Sunday afternoon.

Leclerc, who claimed pole for the 2021 and 2022 events, only for victory to slip through his fingers via technical problems and pit stop issues, made it third time lucky by righting the wrongs of those previous near-misses.


Having aced the all-important qualifying session, Leclerc avoided opening-lap drama and mastered the race restart to retain his P1 advantage, before managing the gap back to McLaren’s Oscar Piastri and Ferrari team mate Carlos Sainz.

Asked how he felt after taking the chequered flag and stepping out of the car, Leclerc said: “No words can explain that… It’s such a difficult race, I think the fact that twice I’ve been starting on pole position and we couldn’t quite make it makes it even better in a way.

“It means a lot, obviously. It’s the race that made me dream of becoming a Formula 1 driver one day. It was a difficult race emotionally because already 15 laps to the end you’re just hoping that nothing happens, already the emotions were coming.”

 Beautiful tennis courts are for everyone, not only Rafael Nadal or Roger Federer. You may hone your strokes on some of the most stunning tennis courts in the world, which are situated in towns, bustling metropolises, the Italian Amalfi Coast, and high above New York City. These courts are exquisitely designed and set in scenic locations. Tennis court design, or the design of any sport facility, combines an artistic challenge with a systematic simplicity. All courts are similar in numerous aspects: They are all marked with the identical baselines, service boxes, and three-foot net. They are 78 feet long and 36 feet wide, and they are ideally aligned from north to south.

Ever wondered what the guidelines are for the challenge when you're watching a match of professional tennis? Although chair umpires and line judges have long been used in professional tennis matches, modern technology has made it possible for players to use cameras to replay points and question rulings made by line judges. We'll dive into the challenge methods in this post to give you a thorough grasp of how these pivotal times transpire.  The Hawk-Eye "Hawk-eye" replay system uses a network of cameras to precisely follow a tennis ball's path across the court. These cameras take a succession of pictures, which computers process to create a three-dimensional picture of the ball's trajectory up until it hits the court. It's interesting to note that volleyball, rugby, and cricket all employ the same technology. But there is one noteworthy exception to its adoption: competitions held on clay courts, like the French Open. Chair umpires continue to rely on the m...
