Perez enjoys Monaco GP challenge
Monaco: Mexican Formula 1 driver Sergio Perez said on Monday that he enjoys the challenge which the prestigious Monaco Grand Prix provides.
The F1 caravan moves to the city state, to the streets of Monte Carlo for the sixth round of the season this weekend.
“I always look forward to Monaco. It’s a special place which has everything you need for a Formula 1 race. The lap is amazing, the location is beautiful, and it’s the race everybody wants to attend. I enjoy the challenge of Monaco and I believe that the driver can make more of a difference compared to other circuits,” said the Force India driver.
“To be quick you have to take some risks, push the limits, and kiss the walls. I enjoy the quick parts of the lap – the swimming pool section and Casino Square. It’s all about being accurate and precise. It’s not the most difficult circuit, but if you get it wrong, you get punished. When you get together the perfect lap, it feels great. That’s why it’s the one race where there is a chance to do something extra special.”

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
