Max Verstappen put his Red Bull on pole position for the Canadian Grand Prix following Saturday’s rain-hit qualifying session in Montreal. Verstappen has won five of the opening seven rounds and even a wet-dry-wet track in Montreal could not slow the Dutchman down. F1 grid: Starting positions for Monaco Grand Prix Nico Hulkenberg took advantage of the sodden track to take second spot for Haas, 1.2 seconds behind Verstappen, with Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso third. Lewis Hamilton qualified fourth, one spot ahead of George Russell in the other Mercedes, while Lando Norris claimed seventh for McLaren. Yet Hulkenberg has been demoted three places due to a red-flag infringement, meaning Alonso will line up on the front row. Verstappen has been in a class of one this year and the Red Bull man kept his composure in changeable conditions to take an impressive pole. Follow live updates from the Canadian Grand Prix with The Independent - the race starts at 7pm (BST).

Plenty of people will have daydreamed about getting revenge on their ex – but few can say they got their mum to knock them out cold for them. That is, however, exactly what happened for one person after a brutal cage fight took place in Poland recently. It came during the event organised by Clout MMA in the city of Plock, which included the latest in a run of bizarre MMA fights in the country and across Eastern Europe. There, a 50-year-old mother went toe to toe with a 19-year-old who had previously been dating her son. The older woman, named Małgorzata Zwierzyńska, took on Nikola Alokin in a cage fight for the event. It’s pretty common to see bad blood fights like this one over recent times, but the match between the pair might be the strangest yet. Zwierzyńska, also referred to as Goha Magical, is TikTok famous in Poland and she creates videos with her son, known as Daniel Magical. The bout saw the Zwierzyńska knock Alokin down to the ground in the first round, which contributed to the fight ending two rounds later when Alokin refused to keep fighting. It’s safe to say, the fight sparked a big reaction online. “Ultimate revenge,” one wrote in the comments section, while another said: “This is more entertaining than logan vs dillon.” A user also said: “I need to know the beef behind this because she was definitely fed up.” Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter How to join the indy100's free WhatsApp channel Have your say in our news democracy.
