Christian Horner shoves Sky Sports reporter into swimming pool at Monaco Grand Prix

Christian Horner shoved a Sky Sports reporter into a swimming pool as Red Bull celebrated Sergio Perez's victory at the Monaco Grand Prix.

The Mexican claimed just his third F1 victory after taking advantage of a strategy error from Charles Leclerc and Ferrari in Monte-Carlo. Perez was challenged by Carlos Sainz in a dramatic ending to the shortened race, which failed to reach the full distance of 78 laps after a series of lengthy delays, but held his rival at bay to claim a priceless win.

The victory saw Perez move to within 15 points of team-mate Max Verstappen at the top of the Driver Championship standings and also helped Red Bull push on in their battle with Ferrari for the Constructors' Championship.

Although Verstappen was denied second place, it was a significant day for Red Bull as Leclerc dropped vital points and missed out on a podium finish despite starting on pole. Red Bull were in a celebratory mood after the race and were seen posing for pictures around a swimming pool.

Slater swam around in the pool for a few seconds as the Red Bull team laughed before climbing out to grab another word with Horner.

Asking him about Red Bull's imperious form, Horner seemed to confirm he had planned to push Slater in the pool. He said: "A win in Monaco is always very special and to get this race - it's our sixth Monaco victory - with 'Checo', you know it was an unbelievable day and hopefully, common sense will prevail on Max and
