#monaco world sports legends award

[chussyracing]

what has been happening in the world of motorsports lately?

Natalie Robyn will leave the role of CEO of FIA after little over one year in the position after a “mutual agreement”

there is a rumour about Logan’s manager speaking to Haas for the opportunity of American team hiring American driver from next season onwards (reminder that Kevin is likely out of contention, Ollie is the hottest candidate and Guanyu is next in talks with Haas according to the paddock gossip)

the Chicago GP was denied …for now (so at this point you have to consider it being a possibility, potentially rotating circuit?)

Merc apparently offered Carlos a one year contract, since they want to keep their options open (potentially for Max leaving or for Kimi stepping up into the team), Red Bull is keen on keeping Checo (although Marko denied they would give him the 3 years contract extension he would like to get) so that door is closing, Audi reportedly extended the deadline on the decision from Carlos till around Monaco

there will be a special edition of Ferrari Trento on the podium this weekend (I’m adding a picture below) and special awards with names of previous winners including people of Emilia Romagna for the year 2023

Williams posted Lap of Legends with Logan driving against AI programmed legends (Andretti, Hill, Manson, Prost, Button, Villeneuve)

Alex Albon extended his Williams contract on multiple year basis (meaning he will be driving with the team through the new regs, but with Fred and Charles starting a new fashion in F1, we simply don’t know how long exactly that contract is)

Domenicali confirmed 25 races a season is a maximum stated by the Concorde Agreement, but he wants to expand F1 calendar in other ways (rotating circuits, more sprints, some journals even talk about sprints at every race weekend)

Ferrari esports team won the constructor championship

Max is supposed to be joining Team Redline this weekend because apart from Imola he is said to be racing in virtual 24 hours of Nürburgring (but with how their weekend is going so far? who knows)

F3 drivers Alex Dunne and Martinius Stenshorne became members of the McLaren junior academy

speaking of juniors, Nikola Tsolov, Martinius Stenshorne and Arvid Linblad (Alpine, McLaren and Red Bull juniors) broke the sporting code by racing in different series without announcing it (the reports differ about who raced where, if they announced it to their teams or to FIA) – the result is, Tsolov and Stenshorne will get a race ban, one of Spa, one for Silverstone, and Lindblad will only get a fine, because he didn’t race in a full race just took a part in testing/practice before the real race

reminder for people watching Sky Sports, that David Croft won’t be in this weekend, and Harry Benjamin is stepping in his place

FIA is considering a different penalty system for continuous penalties and for the situation where a driver gains advantage by leaving the track (Kevin started a revolution)

Domenicali also spoke about a possible engine change for 2030 regulations as the feedback from fans is that they miss the good old sound of F1 (so possibly more noise)

team principals (and Domenicali) had a shared dinner together in Imola and Andrea Stella didn’t get the memo about the dress code for the night

More than Equal initiative founded by David Coulthard and a Czech businessman Karel Komárek started a driver development programme with first 6 female drivers between 13 and 14 years from across the world including Czechia and Slovakia (and 4 more female drivers under the age of 13 got their backing)

31st world stars charity football match between star team for the children and all stars drivers will be held in Monaco on 21st May (we have yet to get confirmed who will be present)

Adrian Newey said he is ready to join another team after a short holiday and according to Jonathan Mcaboy, he already signed with Ferrari

in the latest interview James Vowles reminded that letting go of Logan in the middle of the season is not planned but he has to be open and say that he is at risk of losing his seat for next season because they are talking to 4-5 other drivers (he also said that their car is about 15 kgs overweight and their new upgrade introduced here is meant to fight that problem)

head aerodynamicist Gioacchino Vino is leaving Mercedes but they will get Simone Resta (strategy) and Enrico Sampo (performance) joining as soon as in October (side note: some reports say Vino was poached by Ferrari but 1: it is one not very reliable source, I highly doubt this is a figure Ferrari would go for and there are also reports it was not his choice to leave the team)

Pierre will run an auction for his tribute helmet for Senna after this weekend and donate the money to his charity

Charles said that Xavi leaving was a team decision, and he was informed after Miami

Valtteri Bottas held talks with James Vowles behind closed doors in Imola

Wants to Leave Mbappe Ip Receives 57.4 Billion From PSG

Wants to Leave Mbappe Ip Receives 57.4 Billion From PSG

It is unlikely that the word "I want to leave" will come out of Kylian Mbappe's mouth.

It is the number one candidate for the next Ballon d'Or. Along with Elling Holland, he is considered a resource to lead future football and has actually set a huge record. He distinguished himself in Monaco, made his presence known to people around the world, and was in full bloom at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). From the 2017-18 season to the 2022-23 season, he set a remarkable record of 212 goals and 98 assists in 260 games, and when he moved to PSG, the transfer fee reached 180 million euros (about 258.6 billion won).

Became PSG's ace and living legend. Although PSG is full of world class players such as Lionel Messi, Neymar, Sergio Ramos, and Marcinos, Mbappe showed an unrivaled presence. In the 2022-23 season, he played in 43 games, including the Cup, scoring 41 goals and 10 assists, and was the overwhelming top scorer in the league

But the relationship with PSG wasn't always good. As many big clubs as his overwhelming skills targeted him, and Real Madrid was the most active. In fact, the transfer to Real last summer was very imminent, and Mbappe was also interested in the transfer.

Fortunately, he chose to stay, but the possibility of going to Real is not completely over. Then this summer, rumors of a transfer came to mind once again. Fabricio Romano, an expert on the European football transfer market, said on his social media in June, "Mbappe expressed his intention not to invoke the option of extending the contract to 2025. This means Mbappe's contract expires in June 2024. PSG says it will not send Mbappe without a transfer fee. Mbappe could be sold unless it signs a new contract," it said

Since then, many have expected Mbappe to move to Real. It's been a natural reaction, as it's been linked to Real for a long time. In response, Mbappe had time to explain himself. He said on his social media, "It's a lie…"As I said before, I'm happy at PSG and I'll be with PSG next season as well." However, it did not mean that he would extend his companionship with PSG. Mbappe only denied the possibility of a transfer to Real, but admitted that he would not invoke the option of a one-year extension.

This angered PSG. Leaders, including Nasser al-Kelaifi, have pressed Mbappe to leave this summer unless he extends his contract. The chairman even issued a statement himself. He said: "I was devastated to learn that Mbappe had decided to leave for free. It was very disappointing because I thought Mbappe was a fantastic player, a gentleman. Leaving France's biggest club without leaving a transfer fee is not Mbappe-like behavior. "I was shocked and really disappointed after hearing that Mbappe had decided to leave the team without a transfer fee," he said

Relations between the two parties have deteriorated further. He even made remarks that stimulated PSG's pride. Mbappe, who was selected as the best French player for the 2022-23 season awarded by French media "L'Equipe" and French football, mentioned PSG in a later interview. He said: "I think playing for PSG doesn't really help. "They are a team that causes division," he said, making some controversial remarks.

a snip at the club. Naturally, other players in the club could not have felt good. Several PSG players who heard this comment were unhappy. Ben Jacobs of CBS Sports in the U.S. said on his social media, "Some PSG players were angry when they saw Mbappe's interview and expressed dissatisfaction with Chairman Al Kelai P. Asked about the performance, Mbappe called PSG a "team with division."

They even gave Mbappe an ultimatum. "PSG sent Mbappe a three-page letter asking him to decide on his future by July 31," the British media The Athletic said.

"As Requiff first reported, PSG's letter said that Mbappe's public departure from the team had taken a big hit, that these issues should remain private, and that it was wrong to make these remarks during the summer transfer market. The letter was concluded with a request to decide whether or not to renew the contract by the 31st, he added

Despite pressure from the club, Mbappe did not budge. In response, some questioned Mbappe's insistence on remaining in PSG for another year. There was a reason. According to Andres-on-Lubia Ramos, a reporter for the Spanish media Diario As, Mbappe will receive 80 million euros (about 114.9 billion won) in royalties if he remains on the team for another year. This was inserted into the clause when the contract was renewed last year and is said to be a "duty clause" as it was included in the contract.

As a result, PSG made an unconventional choice. He seemed to think that if money was the purpose, he would achieve that purpose. Spanish media 'Defensa Central' said, "PSG Chairman Al Kelai P is preparing an unconventional proposal equivalent to 1 billion euros (about 1.4367 trillion won) for Mbappe over 10 years. "The Kingdom of Qatar responded positively to this."

But Mbappe turned it down at once. He still wanted a transfer. The top goal is to transfer to Real, and the possibility of transfer is higher in the local area. Carlos Carpio, a reporter for the Spanish media "Marca," said, "Real delivered to PSG the upper limit of the transfer fee that they could pay in connection with the recruitment of Mbappe. Now it's all down to PSG. It's time for gold to speak. "Yes, Mbappe is very close to joining Real," he said, showing confidence in the possibility of a transfer.

While pushing for the sale, PSG feared that its power would weaken when Mbappe was out. As a result, he continued to try to renew his contract with a single possibility. Looking at the conditions, I could see that PSG was extremely considerate. According to CBS Sports' Ben Jacobs, PSG has offered Mbappe a renewal contract, including an option to allow him to leave the team for a "constant amount" next summer. It was PSG's last offer to recover the transfer fee somehow. But Mbappe refused at once. "Mbappe has refused to talk to PSG regarding the contract extension," Jacobs said

At this point, 'transfer' is unstoppable. What should be noted now is the 'form' of the transfer. Attention is focusing on whether PSG will leave the team this summer as desired or Mbappe will leave the team as FA next summer as desired.

Several teams except Real approached. Saudi Arabia, which recently attracted numerous European players, offered Mbappe an astronomical amount and raised the possibility of a loan to Chelsea. However, neither option was feasible. Saudi Arabia rejected Mbappe and Chelsea's 'one-year lease' emerged as a realistic alternative, but no specific details were coordinated

As of now, Mbappe is not in a hurry at all. This is because you can transfer freely in a year. You don't have to play. Because I've already received a huge amount of money from PSG. Mbappe recently received a royalty bonus of 60 million euros (about 84 billion won) from PSG. Cabe Solhekol, a reporter for "Sky Sports," said that if Mbappe is a member of PSG by August 1, local time, he will receive 60 million euros in royalty bonuses. Thus, Mbappe succeeded in remaining in PSG until the 1st, and received a huge amount of money 파워볼사이트

It's not finished yet. If it remains until the 31st, Mbappe will receive an additional 40 million euros (about 57.4 billion won) in bonuses. Reporter Ramos said on his SNS on the 7th (Korea Standard Time), "If Mbappe officially says he wants to leave PSG, he will give up a 40 million euro bonus." If he only lasts until the 31st, he can get a bonus. That's why it's less likely to see him say he wants to leave."
