farewell day at AC Milan, in the 3-3 draw against Salernitana today they said goodbye to both Pioli, the coach who managed to win an unthinkable championship and Giroud who had been considered a failure by many AC Milan fans but who turned out to be a excellent player in recent years.
There are rumors that the next coach will be Fonseca, already a coach in Italy in the years spent in Rome.

Saturday is most important day in Monaco GP as most of things is decided then. And Saturday ended in terrible way for Red Bull. Verstappen tried to push to the limits and hit wal already on 1st turn,, but even without it, I'm not sure that he would be able to take pole from Lecler. Now there is question, is it possible for Max to reach podium? But Perez, you must be kidding. 18th place when you have clean track without traffic on your fast lap...
It is possible? for sure but he needs to hope in a lower degradation in his tyres or in some safety car or virtual safety car. Since it is almost impossible to overtake here, noone wants to pit early on this track and for this reason the driver ahead can go very slow with the pace for saving tyres since it will be unlikely passed after the 1st turn.

Yes.
Monaco in exiting only on Saturdays when drivers goes at 100% on speed. On Sundays usually when nothing happens leader can go at 80% of speed since nobody can pass and save the tires as much he can, degradaging tires of opponents and get a big advantage in this way.
I hate this track.

Pochettino is rumored to be the next coach of Manchester United after the last game of Ten Hag (it will be played vs Mancehster City, so a probably loss)
About Manchester United, Greenwood is wanted by Napoli.

Last hour of free practice has been completed with a super Leclerc in 1st position. Let's see if he can lead the qualify too, it looks like a fight between him and Max.
Sainz is usually very strong in this track...

Big revolution in Serie A for the next Year.
Sarri left Lazio Mou left Roma Allegri left Juventus Pioli left Inter
4 ot the best teams have or will have a new coach.
For Juventus we will probably have Motta in the bench, for Milan we may have Fonseca.

By the way, have you seen this? : https://x.com/RBR_Daily/status/1793999851698708486F2 driver Isack Hadjar could have crashed into Miyata if he didn't have those insane reflexes. Thankfully Formula drivers are focusing on improving their reflexes much more than a normal person. That tunnel is really dangerous for such moments. Because you are getting past it at full speed and there is a blind corner there which is open for accidents. Coming back to F1, Hamilton was really impressive in FP1. But will he maintain a solid performance? I doubt that honestly as the car is generally so slow. Yes and it was very scary. With luck and skill he managed to avoid the collision. A collision at that speed with a basically stopped car could be lethal. Even if it is only F2, the speed there it is easly over 200 km/h

Juventus has practically taken Di Gregorio, rated as the best goalkeeper in Serie A in 2023/2024 for a fee of around 20 million euros.
There is therefore talk of a possible and probable sale of Szczesny. Not long ago he was wanted by Arsenal, now honestly not much is known about it.

If Max can keep it consistently at the top, there wouldn't be any problem with him winning the driver's championship. The points that he has can be overturned in a few GP if he doesn't score at all but we all know that's unlikely to happen unless another DNF again.
It does look interesting and it's amazing how McLaren is really a top team now because of the upgrades and their drivers. Other teams should do something, *ehem* Mercedes.
It will depend mostly on the upgrades of the other cars. Mclaren can be a real conteder now IMHO, until the end of the season. Of they can keep pushing upgrades for RBR will be a lot harder now that they have Newey No more. I don't think Ferrari will be able to fight in every race, I see Norris in a better place.

Gasperini may leave Atalanta at the end of the season. He said without saying that he has an offer from a big team and he is thinking about it.
Could be it Napoli?
Napoli and Milan will change coach for sure and at the moment we know nothing about them.

New rumors today about Sainz. He is rumored to have be in contact with 2 teams lately: Williams and Mecedes.
Following the rumors that links him to Mercedes, the voice has been turned off so it seems to Mercedes for him.
Redbull offered 1 year extention to Perez, he asked for 2. So at the moment Redbull has no second driver for the next year.

as expected yesterday today Inter changed ownership because the president didn't pay the 400 million debt, is it nice to win like this?
Let's now see what the hedge fund will decide to do, whether to invest or sell off the players and sell the club.
|
|

Inter Milan is the best club, always putting forth interesting results and performance. They ended the Seria A 2023/2024 campaign with uprising results. Nerazzurri was crowned Champions of the scudetto because they didn't hold back, always doing their best to outrun their opponents in matches. Simeone Inzaghi deserves his flowers, topping his opponents with huge points gap and we know how determined he growned to be and always in his prime to deliver stellar results.
Let's also add because they have made 900 million in debt and that the president hasn't been seen in Italy for a year and that he will soon "go bankrupt" by selling Inter to a hedge fund, probably within the week. But they are details.
|
|
|
Let's say that the future promises well with a challenge between Max Norris and Leclerc.
However, a lot will depend on the car available. Redbull is still the main force (with Max) but it is no longer dominant like in previous years and now they have also lost the Messi of the engineers.
