THE GOSSIP: The Spanish GP has attracted all sorts of stars, and the race will get underway on Sunday, with the VIP section likely to be heaving with footballers. Most players are now on their holidays after the season ended, with Mbappe and PSG celebrating their Ligue 1 title win by paying tribute to injured goalkeeper Sergio Rico on Saturday evening.

WHAT NEXT? The race, with Max Verstappen, a Tottenham fan, on pole, will begin this afternoon. Afterwards, most of the players will continue enjoying their holidays before heading back to their clubs for pre-season.
