Guenther Steiner summoned to stewards following criticism of F1 officials
Haas F1 team principal Guenther Steiner has been summoned to the stewards following his outburst at the standard of officiating in Formula One. Steiner, 58, described a five-second penalty handed to Nico Hulkenberg at last weekend’s Monaco Grand Prix as “completely wrong” before calling for an overhaul of the FIA’s current model. Four officials from a rotating pool steward every Grand Prix and at least one of those will be a former driver who has raced at a competitive level. But speaking ahead of Sunday’s race in Spain, Steiner, who now faces a charge of bringing the sport into disrepute, said: “Every professional sport has professional referees. “F1 is one of the biggest sports in the world and we still have laymen deciding on the fate of people that invest millions in their careers. “There is no consistency. We need to step it up.” Hulkenberg was penalised following an aggressive overtake on Logan Sargeant on the first lap in Monte Carlo. Hulkenberg made his way ahead of the Williams driver without appearing to make contact. “Nico comes from the inside, is in front, dives into the corner, but I can’t see a collision,” said Steiner, who will face the stewards at 2:30pm local time (1:30pm UK). “A collision is touching, no? That’s what the definition is. We’re trying to get it explained because I think the decision was completely wrong.” Read More Lewis Hamilton says he will ‘struggle to get into top 10’ at Spanish Grand Prix F1 LIVE: FP3 latest updates ahead of qualifying at Spanish GP Max Verstappen sets the pace again but little to cheer for Lewis Hamilton

Gogglebox’s Ellie Warner announces newborn son while co-star Pete Sandiford welcomes baby girl
Gogglebox star Ellie Warner has announced that she has given birth to a son she shares with her boyfriend Nat Eddleston, while co-star Pete Sandiford and his wife Paige Yeoman have welcomed a newborn girl. Both new parents confirmed the arrivals while appearing on Friday’s (2 June) episode of the Channel 4 show, giving viewers a glimpse at the children. Warner, 32, introduced her newborn as she handed the baby to her sister Izzi. Later, she shared a picture of her son on Instagram, who she has named Ezra. The picture sees baby Ezra sleeping in a cot underneath a yellow blanket. She wrote: “Sweet baby Ezra, he has made our lives complete, we love you so much son.” Meanwhile, Sandiford also confirmed his wife Paige Yeoman has given birth to their second child, a baby girl, on Friday’s show. Appearing on the segment with his sister Sophie, Sandiford is seen holding his baby, before saying to Sophie: “Did I tell you her full name? We think we’re going to call her Evie Sylvie Sandiford.” Sandiford and his wife Paige welcomed their first son Jimmy in August 2021 and wed last year. Announcing his baby news, Sandiford told his son Jimmy in a sweet clip that he was about to become a big brother. He joked: “Jimbers, you’re going to have a little brother or sister coming. You’re going to have to milk it.” Hairdresser Warner confirmed she and boyfriend Nat were expecting their first child together back in December. She confirmed her pregnancy on a Gogglebox episode, appearing alongside her sister Izzi, to who she showed her ultrasound scan. Warner, who has been dating her boyfriend Nat Eddleston since 2018, reflected on the moment she showed her mother her pregnancy scan. “When I showed mum the picture she said, ‘Oh can I take a picture,’ and you didn’t even look at it for two minutes,” she said. Izzi responded: “I did! I told you where the things were, I’ll stare at it a bit longer just to make you happy.” Warner and her sister Izzi first appeared on Gogglebox in 2015 after Warner was reportedly approached by a friend who worked on casting for the show. Sandiford and his sister have been fan favourites since they joined the show in 2017.
