      He exploded onto the circuit winning his first World Championship in 1990 at the age of just 21.
      And on top of receiving the World Championship trophy for beating Jim White, Hendry was given a Bentley by his sponsors Sweater Shop.
      Hendry also revealed the generous company gifted him a Ferrari Spider 348.
      He told The Ben Foster Podcast: “When I won the World Championships one year they gave me a Ferrari.

      “And another time they gave me a Bentley Continental GT as a bonus for winning the WC
      “One time I was clearing up against Jimmy [White] – I think it was when I beat him 18-17 – and I’m clearing the colours and I shouldn’t have been thinking about it, but I’m thinking I’m going to get a Bentley.
      “I should have been thinking ‘this is for the world title’ but I couldn’t help it.
      “They were amazing sponsors.”

      Hendry established himself as one of the greatest snooker players of all time by beating Steve Davis’ record of six snooker World Championship wins.
      But he thinks O’Sullivan, 47, will be determined to go one better than him and claim an eighth title.
      He said after The Rocket won his seventh: “He’s taken snooker to new heights.
      “I’m actually surprised it’s taken him so long to get to seven – that’s how good he is! When I got six to equal Steve [Davis], I had to get seven.
      “I presume it’ll be the same for Ronnie, he’ll have to get eight. I’m sure he won’t be happy until he’s done that. That will be the aim – as simple as that.” More

      Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes have back-up plan car and willing to SCRAP 2023 car if they fall behind Red Bull again

      by

      MERCEDES are willing to scrap their 2023 car and introduce a back-up design if they fall behind Red Bull. That is according to Sky Sports F1 reporter Ted Kravitz who believes the German-based team are putting in place measures to avoid last season’s slow start.

      Mercedes installed a unique “zero sidepod” design to their car last year as F1 saw sweeping rule changes that triggered major adjustments across the grid.
      But the eight-times consecutive constructor’s champions quickly found themselves on the back foot with their bouncing car.
      Red Bull and Ferrari led the field with Mercedes trying to cling on amid some embarrassing results.
      Kravitz reports that Lewis Hamilton’s team are keeping faith with the car’s philosophy – but have other ideas on hand just in case.

      He told Sky Sports: “They’re giving their big idea, which was a failure last year, one more go. But I believe they have a ‘Plan B’ in production.
      “If they need to, they can go to a Plan B – which is the Red Bull or Ferrari-style of doing things – in the middle of the season.”
      Mercedes are looking to be competitive again after a year out in the wilderness.
      They will get to put their car concept to test in pre-season over the next few days.

      Testing last year gave the first sign that Mercedes had fallen from their perch with both Hamilton and teammate George Russell expressing frustration with the car’s flaws.
      Kravitz thinks the once dominant team will soon return to the forefront following their mini-revival towards the end of the season.
      He added: “These rules are what they are for a few years yet, so they’ve got to get it right at some point.
      “But at the moment they’re saying ‘Look we think we’ve got a proper handle on what went wrong last year, we still think our way – which is unique in the pit lane – having very slim sidepods is the way to go aerodynamically.
      “Most of the downforce is generated by the floor, which you can’t see, but they’re saying ‘Don’t expect anything too soon.'” More

      Both drivers took to the teams Fiorano track following the launch to do the cars first laps in front of the teams fans on a special demo day.
      Leclerc said: ” It felt good. The first kilometres of this new project, after doing so many kilometres on the simulator, it feels special.”
      He added: ” Everything went smoothly.
      “Obviously, with two laps it’s difficult to go into details but I already gave my feedback to the engineers once I was in the car to get the first feeling.”
      The Italian team will be hoping to go one better after finishing second to Red Bull in the constructors championship last season.

      Leclerc added: “The goal is to win. The feeling of winning is what motivates me and motivates all the team, too.
      “So I’m really looking forward to getting back in the car and trying to win that championship.”

      Despite a strong start to the 2022 season winning two of the first three races of last season Leclerc came up short to run away championship winner Max Verstappen.
      He said: “We’ve done a great job working it and trying to address the weaknesses that there were on this car, so hopefully it will be better.”
      Leclerc concluded : “We finished second in the constructors championship and the drivers’ championship, so I’m really looking forward to this new car.
      Pre season testing takes place in Bahrain from February 23-25 with the first race of the Formula One season taking place at the same venue on March 5. More

      Diogo Dalot arrives at Man Utd training in stunning £250,000 Ferrari as he closes in on bumper new contract

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED star Diogo Dalot was spotted arriving for training in a mega £250,000 Ferrari as he closes in on a new contract.The Portuguese defender is enjoying his best season at Old Trafford so far and was thriving under Erik ten Hag until injury struck.

      The 23-year-old was a regular starter before the World Cup and kept Aaron Wan-Bissaka out of the team.
      But Dalot’s season has been hampered by injury in recent weeks after he limped off with a knock in a Carabao Cup clash with Charlton last month.
      However, the star did return to the bench in the weekend win over Crystal Palace.
      And now he looks ready to get back in the fast lane when called upon by Ten Hag as he rocked up to the club’s HQ in his new motor.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      Dalor appeared to be driving a black Ferrari FF, which has a price tag of around £250,000 and a top speed of 208 mph.
      It also accelerates from nought to 62mph in just 3.7 seconds due to its 650 bhp 6.25litre V12 engine and his former team-mate Nemanja Matic also previously owned one.
      And the star may just have forked out and treated himself early as he celebrates his new contract with United.
      We reported earlier how Dalot is set to sign a new deal after Barcelona lost hope of landing the full-back.

      Dalot, who may return to the line-up to face Leeds in the Premier League tomorrow, initially had a one year extension clause in his contract triggered in December, meaning his agreement runs until the summer of 2024.
      But the Red Devils are now looking towards the long-term and now hope they have tied down the ace.
      Dalot arrived at Man United in 2018 but initially struggled to cement the right-back spot permanently and spent a season on-loan at AC Milan.
      But he has gone from strength to strength this term and regularly plays alongside Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez and Luke Shaw in what appears to be ten Hag’s first-choice back four.

      F1 fans ‘crying’ as Sebastian Vettel shares picture of Michael Schumacher nearly decade after horror ski accident

      by

      FORMULA ONE fans have been left emotional after Sebastian Vettel shared a throwback picture with Michael Schumacher. The four-times world champion retired from the sport at the end of last season after a sensational racing career spanning almost 15 years.

      He long admired fellow German and F1 legend Schumacher, who won seven titles across the 90s and 2000s.
      Schumacher was involved in a ski accident in 2013 and has not been seen in public since.
      But Vettel shared an old picture of the ex-Ferrari driver which touched many F1 fans.
      The Instagram snap showed Schumacher knelt over a young Vettel, sat in a small silver go-kart.

      Fans were loving the heartfelt photo.

      One wrote: “This right here. This is cute.”
      Another said: “Seb, I don’t want to cry but now you are making me.”
      A third said: “Who’s cutting onions man?”
      Schumacher won the world championship in 1994 and 1995 with Benetton and then every year from 2000 to 2004 at Ferrari.
      Fernando Alonso, Kimi Raikkonen, Lewis Hamilton and Jenson would all win F1’s greatest prize before Vettel began his own reign of dominance between 2010 and 2013 for Red Bull.
      In recent years Vettel has taken up a mentoring role for Michael’s son Mick, who is now a reserve driver with Mercedes after two years racing with Haas.
      Mick posted his own emotional message to his father earlier this month on Michael’s birthday. More
