Max Verstappen wins 70th Anniversary Grand Prix

Red Bull's Max Verstappen took a surprise victory in the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix to bring Mercedes' domination to an end.
Verstappen's win was founded on his car being kinder to its tyres than the Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas and the Dutchman capitalised brilliantly.
Hamilton fought back from early struggles to catch and pass Bottas for second place with two laps to go.
It was an unexpectedly thrilling race, a fitting testament to the occasion as F1 celebrated 70 years since the F1 championship started at Silverstone in 1950. (BBC)

Ben Simmons to have surgery on knee

Philadelphia 76ers All-Star Ben Simmons will have potentially season-ending surgery on his left knee.
The 24-year-old will leave the NBA bubble near Orlando for the procedure. A timetable for his recovery will be set after the surgery, but he would almost certainly miss at least the first round of the play-offs.
''After consultation with the 76ers medical staff and several specialists, Ben Simmons will undergo surgery in the coming days to remove a loose body in his left knee,'' the team said on Saturday in a news release.
