A great champion claiming a legendary track.

Max Verstappen and Mugello have crossed paths almost imperceptibly, given also that the Scarperia circuit has on only one occasion hosted Formula 1. It happened in 2020, when it held the Tuscan Grand Prix useful to complete a calendar mowed down by the Covid’emergency. Yet the Red Bull champion has made it clear without mincing words that he wants to return to the track certainly made moreù famous over the decades by the exploits of MotoGP centaurs.

“Mugello è a track that has a sequence of very fast corners, which cannot be found elsewhere,” Verstappen remarked during a speech for Pirelli’s podcast, ‘Box Box Box’ -In the Formula 1 world championship there are so many less inspiring circuits, this one on the other hand è fantastic. And I really want it to be part of our annual calendar”.

A display of sporting love that moreover might surprise some, given what happened in that 2020 Tuscany Grand Prix. In F1’s only precedent at Mugello, victory went to Lewis Hamilton, in another of that year’s dominant Sundays (second came Valtteri Bottas in the other Mercedes). Verstappen was, moreover, forced to retire already at the second corner due to a collision, in a Sunday marked by several even spectacular accidents.

On that occasion Mugello became the fourth Italian location to host in history at least one official Formula 1 Grand Prix, after Pescara, Imola and obviously Monza. The simultaneous presence of the latter two tracks in the calendars of these seasons, however, makes it currently unlikely to imagine a return of the Circus on the ups and downs of the Florentine Apennines.

The words of Frederic Vasseur

After the difficulties encountered in free practice, Ferrari è managed to redeem itself greatly in qualifying for the Las Vegas GP, finishing second with Carlos Sainz and fourth with Charles Leclerc. At the microphones of “Sky Sport F1”, the team principal of the Maranello-based stable Frederic Vasseur wanted to praise the performance of its two drivers, but at the same time charge them ahead of the race, where the Spaniard and the Monegasque will have a chance to make up ground in the constructors’ championship on McLaren, which struggled and not a little in qualifying.

“I don’t sign to have today’s result in the race, forò we have to push for more. A one-two è a bit optimistic, but we are in a good position. We know that this season we go a little bit stronger in the race than in qualifying. We struggled all weekend to find a good lap and at the end of Q3, at least with Carlos, we succeeded. Now, forò we have to complete the task tomorrow. Our race pace simulation è was positive, so we are confident” began Ferrari team principal at the microphones of “Sky Sport F1”.

“As in the last races, we will have to be careful here to manage the tires well. On this track if you have speed; è it is possible to overtake and we have good top speed, so we are ready to attack in the race. I’m not surprised that Carlos finished ahead of Charles on a street circuit, because Sainz è Sainz è was better at getting the tires up to temperature on the preparation lap. Both, however, did a great job and Leclerc, despite the difficulties he had today, will still have a chance to come back in the race” added Frederic Vasseur.

With three races to go McLaren leads the constructors’ championship with 593 points with a 36-point lead over Ferrari.

Palladino’s words

Raffaele Palladino has now got into gear with his Fiorentina after a difficult start: “Despite the defeat against Atalanta I realized that I had a strong team in my hands that was growing. From there on, I think it was a path all on the rise and probably Bergamo è was the turning point”.

“Kean? I touched the keys of’love and gave confidence to a boy who needed a lot of confidence and needed to find self-esteem. È he was very good because he é made himself available to the group with great humility; he did a great job on himself and in my opinion has great margins for improvement. Not even Moise knows how much room for improvement he has”.

The purple coach to Sportmediaset also talked about the calendar: “Surely the commitments are many, in fact there are many injuries, we also have to be good coaches to try to give even a few days off to the boys because they also need a few days off”.

The words of George Weah

George Weah è ready for an AC Milan-Juventus to live as a Juventus fan: “As a child I was a die-hard Juventus fan, I was crazy about Platini: I never stopped supporting Juventus. You can say that my son has fulfilled my dream sì. And to think that I had talked about him for Milan, with Maldini. But Juve è the right team for him, beyondà my tifo”.

“When I was at Monaco I could have ended up at Juve but in the end I stayed in Ligue 1, moving to PSG, becauseé Wenger advised meé to mature further before going to a top league like Serie A”.

“I dreamed of Juve but how could anyone say no to the Rossoneri? Mica me è went wrong: five fantastic seasons, I still feel with Sebastiano Rossi, Boban, Marco Simone…”.

“Trent’years ago I was playing against the team of my heart but I never backed down and in fact I often scored goals for them. Of course I was happy to score but also a little bit sad: they are still my two favorite teams. Tonight if Juve wins I am happy, if Milan wins I would not be 100 percent happy but a little bit; because Milan has done so much for me”.
