Ferrari, appointment with history in Abu Dhabi: Charles Leclerc flanked by brother Arthur
Arthur Leclerc will drive Ferrari in FP1
The last weekend of the season, that of the Abu Dhabi GP, has yet to begin but Ferrari has already budgeted to establish a new historical record: the Scuderia di Maranello will in fact be the first ever for which two brothers will run in the same session, since in FP1 Charles Leclerc will be joined by his brother Arthur.
Born on Oct. 14, 2000, in Monte Carlo, Arthur Leclerc will therefore contest the first free practice session at the Yas Marina circuit, thus enabling the Cavallino to fulfill its obligation to grant two seasonal sessions to a rookie driver. It will be Carlos Sainz who will grant him his steering wheel, since Leclerc had left it in Mexico to Ollie Bearman.
The latter, having raced three Grands Prix this season (one with Ferrari and two with Haas) is no longer è considered rookie: for this reason Ferrari had to choose another rookie driver, deciding to give space to Charles Leclerc’s younger brother.
Arthur Leclerc thus returns to the wheel of an open-wheel car: after leaving Formula 2 at the end of the 2023 season, this year he has in fact competed in the European Le Mans Series, also winning a race at Imola, and in the Italian GT Championship, winning the final classification of the Endurance class together with crewmates Giancarlo Fisichella and Tommaso Mosca.

Marco Baroni and Lazio struggling with injuries
On the eve of the Italian Cup round of 16 match between his Lazio and Napoli at the Stadio Olimpico, which among other things precedes the league match between the same two teams scheduled for Sunday at reversed pitches, Marco Baroni explained how his team arrives and, in particular, shed light on two important players for the biancoceleste tactical chessboard, Nuno Tavares and Boulaye Dia.
“Tavares for this match is not there’è – said, without hiding too much, Baroni in the press conference -. I don't throw in the towel for the next one, we have to see if the injury that kept him out in the last few games è been overcome. Dia I don't think he will be able to be there on Thursday, but even for him there’s hope for Sunday”.
He could find space again, for the first time since last October 27, Gaetano Castrovilli, a footballer who, unfortunately for him, still had to deal with physical problems: “He told me that if he feels up to it, tomorrow I could give him a few minutes” said Baroni speaking just about the former Fiorentina player.
The winner of the challenge between Lazio and Napoli will face, in the quarterfinals, the winner of Inter-Udinese, scheduled for Dec. 19: the two contenders will face each other on a date chosen in the period from Feb. 5 to Feb. 26, which will be made official according to the conditions set by the calendars in those weeks.

Fabio Roselli new coach of women’s Italy
Just hours after the official parting of ways between the women’s national team and Nanni Raineri, the Italian Rugby Federation itself has announced that it has entrusted the role of women’s Italrugby coach to Fabio Roselli, former coach of the men’s Under-20 team and Zebre in the URC.
“I am honored,” Roselli commented, “I thank the Italian Rugby Federation for choosing me in such an important role. It’s a great chance for me to test myself in top-level contexts such as the Guinness Women’s Six Nations and the Rugby World Cup, after my experiences with Zebre Parma and the Men’s U20 National Team”.
“I would like, però to thank Nanni,” he added, “for what he has done in the last two years at the helm of the women’s national team: with him I have shared on the field, wearing the Rugby Roma jersey, some of the most important joys of my playing career and I am happy to find a solid, proven group that combines experience and freshness and that, thanks to his work and that of the technical staff, has achieved the goal of qualifying for the next World Cup”.
“I will immediately get to work to get on top form for the debut in the Six Nations: we will have a couple of months to do so, but I am sure that the girls will put as always all the effort possible to achieve performances to be proud of” concluded the new technical commissioner.

The sentence of Franco Causio
Winner of six Scudetti as a footballer (as well as an Italian Cup, a Uefa Cup and the 1982 World Cup), Franco Causio has had his say, without hiding too much, on what will happen this year. For the ‘Baron’ è Inter the team to beat but Napoli, currently first in the standings, è dangerous with the reinforcements that could arrive in January could be even more so.
“I know Marotta well, who is putting his hands up and giving the role of favorite to Napoli,” said the former Juventus, Udinese, Inter and Lecce player, among others. “He is right when Conte says that Inter is the team that has to win, Marotta has found a tough and perhaps toughest bone of all.
“Before Marotta took Conte to Inter, we met before a Udinese-Inter match,” added Causio, born in Lecce just like the coach now at Napoli, “and he asked me what I thought of my countryman: I replied that he would be the only one to make him win”.
On the January market, the number 15 of the World Cup-winning national team in Spain finally gave a clear piece of advice to Conte himself: “I know he chose Dorgu, then I also like Gallo a lot – he said, referring to the two Lecce players. I would take both of them, he would do well to trust Corvino who makes little mistakes”.
