Virtus, Zanetti ready to leave Bologna
The words of Massimo Zanetti
In a lengthy interview granted to the Resto del Carlino”, Virtus Segafredo Bologna president Massimo Zanetti took stock of the work that should lead to the new arena for the bianconero club: “If we don’t do it here the arena, here at the Bologna Fairgrounds, becauseit’s not wanted or can’t be done, then we’ll consider a procast to make it in Castel San Pietro. With Gherardi (his partner Carlo Gherardi, who joined Virtus at the end of June with 40 percent, ed.) we are thinking about it. I am a patient man, and prudent. On the Fair project I have invested a lot, everything. Let me put it this way: I have an alternative solution ready”.
“The fortune of Bologna is the people of Bologna. Take me, who built everything here: I succeeded because I was welcomedto as never before. Welcomed is exactly the right word. Still today? There is no doubt about it. Certainly in cin quantyears water under the ponti has passed. The world moves on, has moved on even here in Bologna. But not in the important things, not in the things that could projectt us into the future. There are no more tortellini at Biagio's, purtoo, and instead the gray areas have remained the same. Italy is an old country, and it is aging without leaving abbaroom for the later. Back to the issue of sports facilities: they are not a wishful thinking, they are not a game. They are vital. An arena gives a chance to aument revenue and then to allargare the prospects of the offer”.
Comment on the victory over the EA7 Emporio Armani in the Euroleague: “The boys were fantastic. But without an adequate structure, with the standards that Europe demands, we risk ending up cut off. In the meantime, though, let&#shy;us feve success. Where does this Virtus want to go? In the Euroleague we would be happy with the playoffs, we started well. And then I hope to win the Italian Cup, it's the only trophy I am missing. The scudetto? We will end up once again doing battle with Milan”.

Carlos Sainz returns on farewell to Ferrari and is candid about Lewis Hamilton
Carlos Sainz returns on farewell to Ferrari and è candid about Lewis Hamilton
During an interview given to the microphones of the Spanish newspaper “As”, Carlos Sainz è returned to talk about his farewell to Ferrari to make way for seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton starting in 2025.
“I have no negative words toward Ferrari, and I don't think they have any negative feelings toward me either. It’s a relationship that hasn’t been broken because we’re not happy with each other, but because of a circumstantial issue. I remain convinced that if Hamilton had not wanted to end his career at Ferrari, I would have renewed. To a seven-time world champion, però è impossible to say no and I understand the team's choice to confirm Charles and not me” began the Spanish driver.
“When I arrived at Ferrari, the team was going through a very difficult time. In 2020 they were far behind the best. I am very proud of the progress this team has made thanks in part to my work. These have been seasons that have allowed me to win my first F1 races, get my first pole positions and win several podiums. I am happy to have come to a historic team and to have had the pleasure of driving Ferrari over these years” continued the’former McLaren.
“Charles è one of the fastest drivers I have ever faced, especially on a dry lap. Between us the difference è always been minimal. The only problems came from always going to the track together, one after the other, but that è was the advantage of Ferrari with a very balanced pair of drivers” added the Spanish number 55.
“My next adventure will be at Williams, where I will try to do something similar to what I did in Ferrari and McLaren. I want to help the team improve moving forward. I have the experience and the good energy to help them progress. I have been good in the past and my next goal è to bring the stable to the top 10. If we do well in the next two years, I would like to be able to bet on Williams again in the future” concluded Carlos Sainz.

“Volunteers are crucial to the Olympics. Without them such an event would not be economically sustainable. Sinner will be the No. 1 volunteer in Milan-Cortina. It’s really a lot of stuff” added Giovanni Malagò.
