AUTO RACING
Lewis Hamilton won the Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday to extend his championship lead over his Mercedes teammate, Valtteri Bottas.
Hamilton struggled the latter stages and was under constant pressure from Max Verstappen of Red Bull.
But Verstappen had earlier picked up a five-second time penalty. So even though he finished just behind Hamilton, Verstappen was fourth overall behind Bottas in third and Sebastian Vettel of Ferrari in second.

Brackett to the checkered flag. Kurt Hewins edged Matt Dufault in the Street Stock feature by inches to culminate a side-by-side battle over the second half of the race. Hewins, on the outside, hung on to win just about sideways across the finish line.
