The time for Perez is over, he never deserved an RBR, and he does not deserve it now for sure.

Riccardo will take his spot IMHO

As I told you at the start of the season.
Piastri is a superb driver, it is one on the S tier.

With Verstappen and Leclerc he was able to win F3 and F2 in 2 consecutive years.

3-1 for Fiorentina.
Napoli destroyed!

Rudi Garcia will not stay too long if he continues like this it will not last until Xmas.

1-1 for Napoli after the 1st half, they scored a goal with a penalty.

Not an easy game until now.

And yeah Max won the title and for me, this is the most boring season I can remember.
I think in the last decade I've missed around 10 GP, 5 are from this season.

There is no competition.


BTw Piastri is a great driver.

Milan won with an illegal goal at the end of the game.
The player touched the ball with the hand before shooting, according to the rules it is illegal.

It is funny how VAR works only against some teams.

Juventus managed to beat Torino in the Derby and now they are closer to the top.
Was an easy second half, they managed to score 2 goals without considing any shots.


Their primary target is to end in the top 4.

Can a Mclearen win today in the small race?

Actually impressive Mclearens Today.
Gonna be hard for them to beat Max since RBR is more gentle with tires.

from 2-0 for Inter Vs Bologna to 2-2 .

The game now is interesting, they should win anyway but let's hope they fail.

Arabs are changing their rules for the transfer market.

In January we will see an assault on the European players.

Pogba has been confirmed positive for doping.
He will have 7 days to give a defense.

He will be probably banned for 1 year according to rumors.

Max and Ferraris on the top.

Juventus at the moment will miss many players in the game on Saturday.

If they don't recover they will have no strikers available.

PSG needs to beat Milan now to have easier access to the final phase.

No doubt they have resized the club to a smaller one after giving away their top players.

In the coming GP of F1 in Qatar Max can be the winner of this year's championship.

HE will win for sure before the end of the season but it can happen on the next GP.

Friday 6th October
Empoli 17:30 Udinese
Lecce 19:45 Sassuolo

Saturday 7th October
Inter Milan 14:00 Bologna
Juventus 17:00 Torino
Genoa 19:45 AC Milan

Sunday 8th October
Monza 11:30 Salernitana
Frosinone 14:00 Verona
Lazio 14:00 Atalanta
Cagliari 17:00 Roma
Napoli 19:45 Fiorentina

Some interesting games this week, starting with the Derby for Juventus.

Marquez will leave Honda at the end of the season.

He will probably join Ducati next year.

What happened to Onana.

He was such a great goalkeeper the last year with Inter.
