Ayumu Iwasa kept his cool to win the Formula 2 sprint race in Monaco and take the championship lead after Isack Hadjar retired early from first place.

The Red Bull junior driver inherited the lead after Hadjar suddenly slowed following a Safety Car restart, allowing Iwasa through to the front. The DAMS driver led the rest of the race, easily beating Jehan Daruvala to the chequered flag after another late Safety Car restart.

When the lights went out, pole sitter Hadjar held the lead into Sainte Devote with Iwasa in second, Daruvala in third and Jak Crawford in fourth all holding their positions at the front of the field. But as the drivers exited the tunnel for the first time, Kush Maini was hit by Clement Novalak, sending Maini spinning. That caused a traffic jam in which Ralph Boschung and Roy Nissany stopped on track and stalled, leading both to retire.

The Virtual Safety Car was used at first but was soon upgraded to a full Safety Car. Novalak recovered to the pits for a new front wing and Maini was also able to rejoin the train of cars.

The race resumed at the start of lap six with Hadjar leading the pack away, but the race leader was overtaken by Iwasa into Sainte Devote as his car began to slow, and pulled to the side of the road. Hadjar dropped rapidly down the order as the field swallowed him up.

After initially reporting a puncture, he later said he had an engine problem in his Hitech-run car. Hadjar had no choice but to cruise back to the pits and into retirement. The team later reported his retirement had not been engine-related.

New leader Iwasa quickly pulled out a gap of over a second to Daruvala, but the pursuing MP Motorsport driver managed to prevent Iwasa from escaping any further away. In third, Crawford fell back from Daruvala ahead and came under pressure from Richard Verschoor, who was promoted to fourth from Hadjar’s retirement.

On lap 22, the Safety Car was deployed for a second time when Juan Manuel Correa and Amaury Cordeel made contact into Mirabeau while fighting over 12th place, sending the Virtuosi driver into the barrier. The race resumed with six laps remaining, and Iwasa caught Daruvala napping at the restart, pulling out a lead of over three seconds by the end of the first green flag lap.

Iwasa comfortably completed the remaining laps to take the chequered flag and secure his third race win of the 2023 season and return to the top of the championship standings, a position he last occupied before his point-less round in Baku. Daruvala finished well behind in second, with Crawford a couple more seconds behind in third.

Verschoor had to settle for fourth after being unable to take third from Crawford, while Zane Maloney claimed fifth place. Jack Doohan took sixth place and the fastest lap ahead of the two ARTs of Victor Martins and Theo Pourchaire, who was unable to hold onto the championship lead with a single point in eighth.

Topline

South Korean police on Friday have reportedly arrested a man who opened a jet’s emergency exit during a flight, with video footage from the flight showing panicked passengers gripping their armrests as they were buffeted by wind tearing through the cabin.

Key Facts

What To Watch For

South Korea’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said police and ministry officials are investigating the arrested man for breaking aviation law, CNN reported . The transport ministry told Reuters it is also investigating whether Asiana Airlines followed the correct protocols to manage emergency exits.

Key Background

It’s normally impossible to open a plane door mid-flight and it is especially rare to see incidents like this. Almost all such incidents will happen when a plane is on the ground or in the process of taking off or landing as both physics and airplane design stop it from happening at high altitudes. Mostly, this is to do with the fact that jets maintain a higher air pressure than their surroundings when high up, which seals the door in place. Jet doors open inwards to take advantage of this and should this seal somehow break at altitude, the cabin’s contents—passengers and most of the air included—would be sucked toward the opening and possibly thrown forcibly from the plane.

IMMIGRATION levels are too high. The public believes this and the Government agrees.

We need to get the numbers down.

This week we announced we will cut net migration by stopping most foreign students from bringing over family members .

We are also banning the use of student visas as a backdoor route to working here.

Universities should be selling education not immigration.

The rise in immigration is partly due to temporary factors, such as helping those fleeing persecution in Hong Kong and Ukraine .

The UK will always do right by those in need.

But the Conservatives have rightly promised to reduce overall immigration.

I take that promise very seriously and so does the Prime Minister.

That’s why we both voted to leave the EU .

We need to train up more apprentices.

It’s why the Government has worked so hard to improve our education system and is investing in skills.

We’re increasing apprenticeship funding by £2.7billion by 2025 to support businesses and investing £1.6billion to expand programmes such as skills bootcamps and free courses for jobs.

And it’s why we introduced a points-based system for immigration that focuses on the highly skilled, not an open door.

This government knows that in the years to come, we cannot simply rely on foreign workers to plug gaps.

And Brexit means we can finally build a high-skill, high-wage economy liberated from Brussels red tape.

That is our mission, and I know The Sun on Sunday is behind us with the Builder Better Britain campaign .

It’s why I’m working so hard to speed up the asylum process.

It’s why I have made clear to other countries they must take back those nationals with no right to be here.

It’s why we have made it easier to boot out foreign criminals.

The Illegal Migration Bill radically tightens the law.

Everyone will understand that if you come here illegally, you can’t expect to stay.

It will end the cycle of phony, drawn-out appeals.

It will put a stop to the abuse of modern slavery laws .

The business model of the evil people-smugglers will be broken.

It is not unreasonable to say that people come here illegally in small boats and abuse our laws.

Just as it is not racist to say that immigration should be controlled if it is to maintain democratic support.

That is why the Government is committed to controlling net migration as well as stopping the boats.

Howled objections

Labour have exposed their desire for open borders time and again.

Sir Keir Starmer tried to block the vote for Brexit with his campaign for a second referendum.

He never wanted us to leave the EU and end free movement of people.

He never wanted us to take back control of our borders and create a points-based system for EU nationals.

In fact, Labour voted against it in Parliament .

Sir Keir once claimed there was a “racist undercurrent” running through “all immigration law”.

He thinks the British people are wrong to want controlled migration.

Under his leadership, Labour have opposed us every step of the way as we have worked to reduce immigration.

They’ve even howled objections when we’ve wanted to deport foreign paedophiles, rapists, and murderers.

This week he claims to be the champion of border control.

The British people cannot be so easily fooled.

They know the man is a flip-flopper, someone who believes one thing one month and then another the next.

He has said he wants to “scrap” the Rwanda deal .

He even voted against measures to ensure child killers were handed whole-life sentences.

Well, actions speak louder than words.

Meanwhile, the Conservatives will listen to the British people.

We will keep working to build an immigration system that is fair to them.

We will help those in genuine need but stop the boats.

We recognise overall immigration levels are too high.

We alone will get them down.

End this incentive to import workers, says Keir Starmer, Leader of the Opposition

HIDDEN in this week’s record-high immigration numbers was a shocking fact: Work visas issued to foreign nationals have doubled since 2019.

Because of the Government’s failure to train hundreds of thousands of our young people or get people back to work, the economy is dependent on low pay and cheap labour.

After 13 years, the Tories’ empty promises have come home to roost. It’s time to get real about this.

Of course, we should be proud of how we welcome people here. It has always been part of our national story.

But if we don’t get serious about providing better training, skills and opportunities for British workers, our economy will continue to splutter along in second gear.

We won’t be able to compete in the race for the jobs and industries of the future.

We won’t deliver on the huge potential we have.

Pulling the lever of immigration is no substitute for a proper plan.

We want immigration to come down. Brits want immigration to come down.

If we want to build a better Britain, apprenticeships is the place to start.

Businesses are pulling their hair out about skills shortages.

Yet huge amounts of money for training is going unspent and the numbers of people starting apprenticeships is plummeting.

This is a travesty. Apprenticeships are a ticket to a better future. They are the best tool we have for ending the cultural snobbery towards vocational learning.

We must urgently expand them. Working with businesses and employees, we will ensure people can get the skills they need to get on.

We’ll sort out the Government’s failing Apprenticeship Levy so British workers have the training and qualifications they need to seize the opportunities of the future.

Young people are desperate for opportunities but do not get the direction they need.

That guidance should be available to everyone, through proper, skilled careers advisers.

And we should bring back two-week work experience placements.

But we also need to end the culture that encourages businesses to hire from abroad rather than train people here.

Vital mission

In sectors with shortages, foreign workers can be paid 20 per cent less than the going rate.

This is bad for those who come here to work, bad for British workers and bad for business.

Labour would scrap this and ensure businesses that need to hire from abroad pay the going rate and set out proper plans to invest in training at home.

These are common sense, practical solutions.

I come from a working-class family. My dad was a toolmaker, my mum was a nurse.

Throughout the cost-of-living crisis , I’ve carried with me the memory of having our phone cut off because we couldn’t afford the bills.

I know how it feels to struggle to make ends meet.

But I also remember that no matter how tough things got, we always had optimism.

“Work hard and you’ll get on in life” is something every parent tells their kids.

For too many people, this is no longer true. People are working harder, paying more, getting less.

If we are to prove the naysayers wrong and fulfil Britain’s potential, it is essential we make this a country where hard work pays and people can make the most of their talents.

In the coming weeks I’ll be setting out Labour’s vital mission: To provide opportunity for all. It won’t be simple or easy. It will mean taking on those who reject change.

But I have never ducked those fights before.

I’m not going to start now, when the prize for Britain is so great.
