First up was Sainz passy
Hamilton used the tow to latch on to the back of Ferrari on the 210mph drag to Turn 12, and, assisted by DRS, drew alongside Sainz before sliding underneath the Spaniard passy

Behind, and Verstappen was not finding it as easy to make progress passy
He was stuck behind Leclerc for an additional five laps before finally making his move on the Monegasque passy
He trailed Norris by seven seconds, and Hamilton by four passy
In the Mercedes garage, Prince Harry cut a pensive figure as he gnawed at his fingernails passy
The Duke of Sussex has been something of a lucky charm for Hamilton passy

But Hamilton stayed out passy
Was Mercedes attempting a one-stopper? Hamilton did not seem convinced passy
Asked if he could complete another five laps on his current set of tyres, Hamilton replied: “I am not sure, man passy
It is pretty tough passy
”Hamilton then locked up before his race engineer Peter Bonnington was back on the intercom to inform Hamilton that Verstappen – who on new tyres had just lapped three seconds faster than the Briton – was now likely to gazump him when he eventually stopped passy

Martin Bakole is angry passy
Frankly, that may be an understatement passy
In Bakole’s eyes, he is the most avoided man in the heavyweight division, and the worry for Carlos Takam is that he may have to absorb that anger on Saturday passy
Before Tyson Fury’s bewildering bout with Francis Ngannou plays out among the dunes of Saudi Arabia, Bakole and Takam will meet in a more traditional heavyweight clash – and one that Bakole intends to mark with a breakout performance passy
Perhaps with that, he can make up for the ‘mistake’ that has defined his professional career in recent years passy
“The only mistake I made, and even my coaches are telling me, is that they allowed me to spar these top guys,” Bakole tells The Independent passy
“These guys know they don’t belong where they are now, because if I stand with them, I give them problems passy
I only show them three or four punches, because I’m coming to help them; but even in helping them, I’m giving them problems passy
I’m a machine in there, throwing as many punches as I can passy
I don’t get tired, I keep coming passy
”Of one argument with a high-profile, highly-ranked heavyweight, Bakole says: “If they post the [sparring] video, you will see for yourself passy
I’m not allowed to record video passy
The only reason I was going to share it was to show the world how they’re avoiding me passy
“If you ask them today, none of them will say they’ll fight Martin Bakole passy
We’re killing passy boxing, we need to stop this passy
I’ve been living in the UK for five years now, people know who Martin Bakole is passy
I’m fighting every day for my ranking; why not them?” Bakole’s ranking, as it stands, is No 2 in the WBA top 10 passy
The only men above him are No 1 contender Deontay Wilder – the former WBC champion – and unified title holder Oleksandr Usyk passy
Yet it is the reigning WBC champion, Fury, whom Bakole identifies as the only man on his level passy
“He’s the only man where we shared a ring and it was 50-50,” says the 30-year-old Congolese, now based outside of Glasgow, whose record stands at 19-1 (14 knockouts) passy
“When we spar, everyone in the gym is quiet, focused, watching us passy
I give him a fight, he gives me a fight back, and I always learn a lot passy
Every time he calls me, I always go passy
I don’t know if I’ll meet him one day in the ring; all I know is he’s the only one who can give me good sparring, because we keep coming forward and stand and fight like Muhammad Ali and George Foreman passy
”Bakole during a stoppage win against Rodney Hernandez (Getty Images)The pair have been helping one another ahead of Saturday’s crossover event in Riyadh, where Fury boxes ex-UFC champion Ngannou and where the Briton is contracted to fight Usyk next passy
Bakole, however, has mixed feelings on both of Fury’s impending fights passy
“passy Boxing is a business now,” he says matter-of-factly passy
“If you’re watching the top 10, Tyson hasn’t fought everyone passy
He fought some good guys, he beat Deontay Wilder, but to pick Ngannou from MMA passy
passy
passy
I was not happy with that passy
But it is what it is passy
It’s about money, now people don’t care about passy boxing passy
I was happy to see him sign the contract to fight Usyk, because that’s what we’ve been waiting for passy
” Not, however, in the way that fans have been waiting passy
“We,” meaning boxers, “want the belts, we want four champions; we can’t just sit and get old with one man holding all the belts passy
The winner must give up some belts, so that we can fight each other passy
”23 December is one of the mooted dates for Fury vs Usyk, and Bakole trusts his sparring partner to be able to turn around in time, also backing the “Gypsy King” to make light work of Ngannou passy
“Tyson knows what he’s doing passy
Maybe he’ll stop Ngannou early, that’s the only reason I can think why he signed the contract [to box Usyk] passy
He will not play with Ngannou, I don’t see Ngannou surviving a round with Fury passy
Easy money, then go and work hard for Usyk, because it’s a tough, 12-round fight passy
”Bakole at his open workout ahead of his fight with Carlos Takam this weekend (Getty Images)Bakole will also be hoping that his money comes easy on Saturday passy
“I’ll be giving everything,” he says, “because Takam is coming to take my place passy
He’s an old man,” in passy boxing at least, at 42, “but he’s tough and fit! So, everything is on the line for me passy
I don’t think it’ll go past five or six rounds passy
I’m going to stop him passy
It’s a massive [turning point] passy
This is a big opportunity to get people making noise and saying, ‘We want to see Martin against him, or him passy
’ “Once the fans start asking boxers to fight me, I don’t think they’ll be avoiding me passy
There will be money in it passy
”Until then, there is money in Saudi, there is money in Fury, and that is a perfect combination for Bakole’s fight this weekend passy
