Lewis Hamilton has called Red Bull chief Helmut Marko’s comments about Sergio Perez “completely unacceptable”. Marko, 80, referred to Mexican Perez’s background when discussing his driver’s inconsistent form this season. Speaking after the Italian Grand Prix earlier this month, Marko, Red Bull’s motorsport adviser and an ally of the team’s late co-owner Dietrich Mateschitz, said: “Let’s remember that he (Perez) is South American and so he is not as focused as Max Verstappen or Sebastian Vettel was.” Addressing Marko’s comments ahead of this weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix, Mercedes’ Hamilton, 38, said: “It is completely unacceptable. This is not something you just apologise for and it is all OK. “Whilst we say there is no room for any type of discrimination in this sport – and there should be no room for it – to have leaders and people in his position making comments like this is not good for us moving forward. “There are a lot of people in the background that really are combating these kind of things, but it is hard to manoeuvre if people at the top have mindsets which stop us from progressing. Let’s remember that he (Perez) is South American and so he is not as focused as Max Verstappen or Sebastian Vettel was Helmut Marko “But it is not my team and not how we move as a team. We still have a lot of work to do to make this a more inclusive environment.” Perez and team-mate Verstappen shared two victories from the opening four races, but the latter is unbeaten since the fifth round in Miami. Perez, 145 points behind Verstappen in the standings, said: “I had a private conversation with Helmut and he did apologise. To me, that was the main thing. Personally, I didn’t get offended Sergio Perez “Basically, we move on. I have a personal relationship with him. Knowing the person helps a lot, because I know he doesn’t mean it that way. “Personally, I didn’t get offended.” Read More Charity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aide Ukraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow live Max Verstappen tells Toto Wolff to focus on Mercedes after snipe at record win On this day in 2021: George Russell joins Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz gets goosebumps after landing pole for Italian Grand Prix

A Brit was left bemused after being told there was no “vino” for sale at a Rugby World Cup stadium in France. Linda Russ, 64, says women weren’t catered for at the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille - as only beer was available. The stadium is located in the historic French province of Provence, which is famous for its wines. But Linda claims the irony was missed by staff - who she says stared back at her with a blank expression and said “non” when she asked for a glass. She was in the south of France with a group of friends to watch England and Scotland’s first games over the weekend. Linda, a retired school operations manager from Bristol, said: “Being in Provence, you would have thought they’d have wine. “The restaurants nearby had it, but there was none in the stadium. It was strange. “There were no alcoholic drinks at the Vélodrome for women. The only alcoholic drink available was beer and it ran out on both days before the match started. “We asked for wine and they said no. “We always go to the Bristol Bears rugby back home. It’s usually always cider or wine for the girls. “I think they just weren’t equipped to deal with rugby fans. “The people serving were so young, we asked for “vino” and they couldn’t understand us at all.” Wine is thought to have been made in Provence for at least 2,600 years, ever since the ancient Greeks founded the city of Marseille in 600 BC. And France and wine are synonymous the world over. Linda, who often goes to rugby games with family and friends, says she enjoys a drink while watching. She said: “We were thinking they may not have cider, which is what we normally have as we’re from Bristol. “We even tried ordering vino blanc and vino rouge, but they didn’t understand us at all!” Linda says the beer that was available quickly ran out too - which she views as a man’s drink. She said: “It was very strange that there seemed to only be alcohol for the men and not for the women. “We also noticed the toilets didn’t stock up on paper towels from the previous night in the women’s toilets. “It was really poor preparation - they were completely overwhelmed.” Asked how the stadium should better prepare for games, Linda said: “Get some wine in, get more beer in, and be more prepared.” “They’ve got to realise us rugby fans drink a lot.” The Stade Vélodrome and World Rugby were approached for comment.

Nasa’s chief says he believes that aliens are real and waiting to be found. Bill Nelson was speaking after the publication of a report by a panel assembled to look into Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs), the official names for UFOs, or unexplained objects spotted in the sky. That report found that while some UAPs remain unexplained, more data is found to understand where they have come from. Mr Nelson said that his “personal answer” is that there are vast numbers of inhabited planets throughout the universe. “With the James Webb [telescope] looking at the exoplanets, we are now beginning to discover, and somewhere out there we will discover, another medium-sized stony planet around a medium-sized sun or star at just the right distance... that has carbon, that will have a habitable atmosphere,” he said. “If you ask me do I believe there’s life in a universe that is so vast that it’s hard for me to comprehend how big it is, my personal answer is yes. But I asked some of our scientists: What is the mathematical probability that there is life out there in the universe? And if you calculate in billions of stars in billions of galaxies that there’s replicated in what I just said, another stony planet, the answer was ‘at least a trillion’. That’s from our scientists.” Read More Watch live: Nasa announces findings of long-awaited UFO study We cannot yet explain mysterious sightings in the sky, Nasa panel says Nasa’s UFO study team reveals first ever report: Live updates
