On Mother’s Day, four Lewis Hamilton and British F1 drivers paid tribute to their mothers with a series of heartfelt messages.

Lewis Hamilton spoke fondly and with pride of his mother Carmen and step-mum Linda, referring to them as the “loves of his life.”

“Well I have two Mums,” he shared in an emotional video piece broadcast on Sky F1 before Sunday’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

“My biological mother raised me until the age of eight. She was the most influential influence in my life; she instilled empathy, warmth and compassion for those around me. Without doubt, she will always remain my most influential role model.”

“I was blessed to have Linda as a second mother,” I recall fondly. It can be challenging to adopt or stepparent, and she made sure our home was always warm.”

“Thank you both from the bottom of my heart for being part of such an important part of my life. You two truly make me proud, thank you from the bottom of my heart for always being by my side – have a wonderful day!” “Your role as parents is so vital and I’m so blessed that they both stand by me every step of the way,”

Hamilton’s Mercedes teammate George Russell also spoke glowingly of his mother Alison.

“Middleton credits my mother with being an enormous influence in my life,” the 25-year-old reflected.

“From my dad driving me to school every day to his support throughout my entire racing journey”

“When I was growing up, my mother would always record all the setups and observations from every test day or race.”

McLaren driver Lando Norris expressed: “My mother’s role has been extremely influential in my life.”

“She has been absolutely phenomenally supportive, as supportive as any mother can be when their son pursues his goals. She stood by me every step of the way and still does today – I couldn’t ask for more.”

Williams driver Alex Albon, who is half-Thai, spoke about the journey his mother and family have endured.

“My mother has been my number one supporter from the start of my racing career, but she doesn’t really care,” he said. “She could’ve easily been a taxi driver.”

“When it comes to Formula 1, my family and I must come together.” She comes with me when I race and it’s an amazing feeling for her to witness me living my dream,” said Aiken. “Formula 1 has become such a part of who I am as an individual and as a family.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin has paid an unexpected visit to Mariupol, a Ukrainian port captured by Russia after its forces left much of it in ruins.

Official video captures Mr Putin driving his car through streets at night and speaking to people. According to the Kremlin, this incident took place late Saturday night.

It is believed to have been his first trip to occupied Ukrainian territory.

Mariupol’s exiled mayor told (According to BBC News) that Mr Putin was a “criminal” who had “returned to the scene of his crime”.

Vadym Boychenko declared, “He has come in person to accept responsibility for what he has done. He’s come to learn what will be the consequences of his actions.”

Other exiled Ukrainian city officials reported that Mr Putin had visited their city at night so as not to witness daylight destruction in its aftermath.

Tass news agency reports that Russian Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin made a helicopter journey to Mariupol. In the video, he can be seen sitting with Marat Khusnullin explaining how the city is being rebuilt.

The Kremlin has reported that Vladimir Putin made the spontaneous decision to drive around Moscow.

Putin also visits the city’s Philharmonic Hall, which had been set to house trials of captured Ukrainian forces before they were exchanged in a prisoner swap.

Reports indicate that Vladimir Putin met with top military commanders in Rostov-on-Don, a city located just east of Mariupol.

Mariupol has been under Russian occupation for more than 10 months after it was devastated in one of the longest and bloodiest battles of the conflict. Ukraine estimates that more than 20,000 people died there.

UN analysis estimates that 90% of buildings were damaged and around 350,000 people were forced to flee, out of a pre-war population of approximately 500,000.

According to local residents, Russia is conducting an expensive campaign to rebuild Mariupol and win over its people’s hearts and minds. The aim is to assimilate Mariupol into Russia’s fold, with authorities reporting that 300,000 people now reside there.

Russia struck a Mariupol theatre where hundreds of civilians were sheltering. The building collapsed, and at least 300 people are believed to have perished there.

Ukraine and human rights groups contend that the attack constituted a war crime.

According to the United Nations, Mr Putin and his regime could be held legally responsible for several incidents.

On Friday, the International Criminal Court issued a warrant for arrest of Mr Putin over allegations of illegal deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia. This means he could now be detained if he enters any one of its 123 member states.

On Saturday, Vladimir Putin paid an unexpected visit to Crimea to mark the ninth anniversary of Russia’s annexation of the territory from Ukraine.

State media reported that Putin visited a new Russian arts school, children’s summer camp and future cultural initiatives like the New Russia museum and museum of Christianity, according to Russian state media.

Kyiv authorities have promised to liberate all Russian-occupied territories, including Crimea which Russia annexed in 2014.
