      The model claims she furiously went over to Ibrahimovic, 41, to tell him to move his car that was blocking her vehicle in and it was love at first sight.
      She told Elle magazine: “He had parked his Ferrari badly in a car park in Malmo. He had done so in a way that prevented my Mercedes from coming out.
      “Quite gruffly, I told him to move it right away. And yes, he saw something that he liked.”
      Both her and the former Manchester United star are known for their sometimes fiery personality and dedication to their profession.

      Seger said: “It’s not easy to live with him, but I admit it, it isn’t with myself either.
      “I think I like Zlatan because I stand up to him, I too have an important background and I have built my career with a lot of sacrifice.”
      The couple have two sons – Maximilian, 16, and Vincent, 14 – but despite Ibrahimovic and Seger being together since 2002 they are not married.
      She lifted the lid on why they haven’t tied the knot: “Getting married could disturb my sense of independence.

      “I don’t want to be labelled simply as the wife of a player, or the winner of a beauty contest.
      “I think people don’t know how much I have studied, worked and fought.”
      Seger is a model and also manages her business portfolio with reports suggesting she is in charge of a real estate company in Italy.
      Ibrahimovic won the Serie A title last season with AC Milan but he is yet to feature this campaign as he is out with a bad knee injury.
      There has been claims it could force him into retirement but the 14-time league winner dismissed speculation saying: “I am arrogant, zero fear. I’m well, I’m working every day to come back.
      “You will surely see it. When I come back, I will be heard, you can count on it. I will do it with violence.”

      The flashy present retails at £795 but it wasn’t the cost that had fans buzzing.
      The packaging had a huge classic photo of Enzo Ferrari on it but many Gunners fans online genuinely thought it was ex-midfielder Mesut Ozil.
      One is a former Arsenal playmaker, the other one of the most famous names in motorsport, but they look identical.

      One said: “What a lovely thing to do and he got Ozil to dress up and drive a Ferrari for the photo on the box.”
      Another user added: “Is that Ozil driving the car?”
      One fan laughed: “Will never forget when Enzo Ferrari left all the defenders on the floor and scored that late winner against Ludogorets.”

      A supporter on Gunners Reddit claimed: “Oh s***. I thought it was Ozil haha”.
      Meanwhile, Arsenal are lining up a THIRD move for Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz in January.

      Boss Mikel Arteta is becoming increasingly concerned about the recurring absence of injury-prone Thomas Partey and wants a top quality replacement to reinforce his squad.

      Hamilton has struggled to keep up with Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc in 2022.
      The seven-time F1 world champion has failed to win a single race this year.
      And Hamilton is currently sixth in the rankings, 167 points behind leader Verstappen.
      Most of the Brit’s problems stem from his poor Mercedes car, which has let him down on several occasions this term.

      As for Verstappen, he has encountered hardly any issues in his speedy Red Bull vehicle.
      And Hamilton is desperate for a more even playing field in future F1 terms.
      That will stop certain manufacturers from running away in the title race.
      And it would also allow the individual quality of drivers to shine through.

      “So it’s definitely tough. But I don’t like the word ‘tough’ because I’ve just been in Africa and I’ve seen kids that have nothing, so nothing is ever really that tough.
      “I wouldn’t say it hurts. We all know what it could be.
      “We would love to be in that battle fighting, and I wish that all the cars were a lot closer and we were all having a much better battle closer to the front.” More

      Ferrari looking to add two major upgrades to F1 car in last-ditch bid to stop Max Verstappen cruising to world title

      FERRARI are reportedly looking to add two major upgrades to their car as they bid to stop Max Verstappen cruising to the world title. The Dutchman has an enormous 116-point lead in the Driver’s Championship and it now looks inevitable he will claim his second straight F1 crown.

      Verstappen has won the last five races and pulled away from a floundering Ferrari who have been plagued by mechanical issues and strategic mistakes.
      But the famous Italian team are still fighting for every point and will be hoping to at least delay Verstappen’s coronation.
      The 24-year-old can win the championship as early as the next race in Singapore if results fall in his favour.
      But Motorsport report Ferrari are set to bring upgrades to their car to give themselves a lift.

      The racing site says improvements will be made to the floor and the wings ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix.
      Both elements are crucial parts of an F1 car as Ferrari attempt to claw back some ground on Red Bull before the end of the season.
      Chiefs at the team see the race as a “great opportunity” to end Verstappen’s winning streak as the sport returns to the Marina Bay circuit for the first time since 2019.
      Motorsport say there could be a further update to come later in the season from Ferrari, with Mexico earmarked as the target race.

      While much of the team’s attention has turned to their 2023 car, the Prancing Horse are still hopeful of being competitive over the remainder of this season.
      Charles Leclerc won two of the first three races this season but Red Bull have pulled ahead of their rivals and proven increasingly difficult to get close to over a full race distance.
      But qualifying has remained a positive for Ferrari with the team landing pole in over half of this season’s races. More

      Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez
      Reigning world champion Max Verstappen is signed for Red Bull until 2028 and Sergio Perez penned an extension until 2024 after the Monaco Grand Prix.
      Red Bull have been utterly dominant in 2022 and see no reason to change their driver line-up for next season as they look to continue their stranglehold on sport.

      Alpine were desperate to keep Fernando Alonso but were not willing to budge on offering him a one-year deal which meant he opted to shock them and sign with Aston Martin.
      Alpine then announced Oscar Piastri only for him to take to social media and state he wouldn’t be driving for them.
      The smart money is on Pierre Gasly joining the team from AlphaTauri and making it an all-French affair.

      Yuki Tsunoda has had a more encouraging season and with Gasly leaving he could have more chance of keeping his seat.

      Max Verstappen puts gearbox disaster behind him to take pole for Dutch Grand Prix with Lewis Hamilton starting fourth

      by

      MAX VERSTAPPEN sent the orange-clad fans wild by taking pole for the Dutch GP – then slammed the “stupid” ones to threw smoke bombs onto the track.Qualifying had to be stopped as one flare was removed from the live race track while the fan was identified and chucked out of the circuit.

      A second flare was lobbed onto the track in the final part of qualifying in another dangerous moment, but thankfully it rolled off the circuit and away from the passing cars.
      Verstappen blasted the individuals who made up the 105,000 crowd at Zandvoort.
      He said: “To hold flares already, it’s nice but there’s a limit to how much. But to throw it on the track is just stupid.
      “The person who did that got removed. Just don’t do that. It’s not good for anyone.
      “You get thrown out so you can’t see the race and for us the session is stopped because it’s dangerous, there’s stuff on the track. So you shouldn’t do it.”
      It comes after Dutch fans were accused of sexual harassment, racism and homophobia at Austrian Grand Prix.

      There were also incidents of them burning Lewis Hamilton merchandise in Hungary and altercations with police in Spa.
      Charles Leclerc, who will start today’s race in second place, condemned the actions of those who threw the missles.
      He added: “It’s dangerous, so don’t do this type of thing. This shouldn’t happen.
      “I don’t know if in the future we can do anything to avoid that. If a car is passing at that time, then it can create unnecessary risk.”
      A spin in the final seconds for Verstappen’s Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez put pay to Lewis Hamilton’s chances of challenging for a front-row start.
      The Mercedes man was forced to slow due to the yellow flags waved for Perez’s stricken car.

      However, he is confident after a strong performance all weekend and looking to make up for his first-lap crash at Spa last weekend.
      He said: “I was much happier coming into this weekend, to have a car that’s potentially fighting but I just don’t understand.
      “One weekend it can be so far off and the next weekend, all of a sudden, we’re right there, so it’s confusing.
      “But there are lots of positives to take from today. If we hadn’t had the yellow flag we would have been fighting for the front row.
      “The potential is there but I have no idea whether the car is going to be good or bad at the next races.
      “It’s like a mood swing. Like the characteristics of a human being, you don’t know what side of the bed you’re going to get out of.”
      When quizzed about his chance of making it on to the podium, he added: “I am definitely optimistic it’s just difficult to overtake here so we’ll see.

      “I felt I could go quicker so I hope that that translates for the race, but I’ll definitely be pushing as hard as I can for a podium.”
      Hamilton’s teammate George Russell was also denied a higher-starting berth on the grid due to Perez’s late error.
      And the Brit, who will start in sixth place on the grid, also had his say on the flares, which were prohibited by security and smuggled in.
      He said: “The fans here and the atmosphere here is one of the best of the season, it’s impressive what they’ve done as an event.
      “But you can’t mess around with things like this. It’s a shame for everyone else.
      “How dangerous are they? If you run over it it’s quite sharp, it could give you a puncture. It could be harmless or cause a lot of damage.

      “It’s quite a spectacle seeing it in the fans but can’t imagine if you’re standing there it’s the most pleasant thing to be within.

      But when his Ferrari Driver Academy contract expires at the end of the year, Schumacher will not be kept on, report Motorsport.com.
      Haas have not confirmed the news but driver Antonio Giovinazzi is reportedly being lined up as the youngster’s replacement.
      That would leave Schumacher without a team, though his close friend Esteban Ocon has backed him to join Alpine.
      He said: “What I would like is for Mick to race with me, that is clear cause he is my good friend, but that is not going into the bosses’ ear. I’ll let them decide.”

      Schumacher joined the Ferrari Driver Academy in 2019 – a year after winning the European F3 championship.
      He was given his first taste of F1 in Bahrain in April 2019, before having a second outing for Alfa Romeo the following day.
      Later that year he teamed up with Haas in Abu Dhabi but only scored his first F1 points at Silverstone this year.
      Schumacher followed up that success with a sixth-place finish in Austria but it is believed he has not done enough to earn another year.
