      Inside Valtteri Bottas’ luxury motorhome with spacious living room and huge bed that ace lives in at F1 races

      by

      NEW Alfa Romeo star Valtteri Bottas really does spend his life on the road during race weekends, even after the chequered flag.Since the pandemic struck Europe in 2020, sports stars were forced into Covid-secure bubbles, to ensure that events could go ahead safely.

      And ex-Mercedes ace Bottas, 32, took his bubble to the next level… by bringing it with him to every race.
      The Finn first showed off his Redwood motorhome in October, which joins him at all European races.
      Spacious and beautifully furnished, the home on wheels offers Bottas all the comfort he could need, while giving him the feeling of a familiar environment while travelling.
      It features a grey-themed living space, with Sky television and an array of comfortable armchairs, as well as a sofa.
      The Redwood 4001 LK, which costs upwards of £100,000, also offers a modern kitchen space, where Valtteri can prepare his pre-race brekkie.
      And a dining area by the window, perfect for toasting a victory or drowning sorrows after disappointment.

      But he has struggled with injuries and loss of form since arriving from Chelsea in 2019 for £88.5million with bonuses that could take the fee to £130m
      But despite his worries on the pitch, off it he lives in a home fitting for a Galactico – a £10m futuristic mansion in the plush La Finca neighbourhood, where his team-mates live. 
      Designed by Spanish architect Joaquin Torres, the property is distinctive for its black stone and state-of-the-art furnishings.
      It boasts six bedrooms and 10 bathrooms for Hazard’s family – wife Natacha and their sons Yannis, Leo and Samy.

      Inside Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke’s £500m ranch, which is largest in USA and bigger than New York and LA combined

      by

      ARSENAL and Los Angeles Rams owner Stan Kroenke is worth an incredible £8.7BILLION and has a property portfolio to match.The American sports tycoon and his Walmart heiress wife purchased the United States’ largest ranch in 2016 and it’s so big you could fit the entire cities of New York and Los Angeles inside its borders.
      The W.T Waggoner Ranch is the largest in the USA
      The estate in Texas stretches over a staggering 535,000 acres
      Kroenke paid £500m for the land in 2016
      New York City AND Los Angeles would both fit inside its borders
      At a whopping 535,000 acres, the W.T Waggoner Ranch in Texas was bought by Kroenke and his wife Ann Walton for a cool £500million.
      The ranch includes thousands of cattle, hundreds of horses and oil wells, and 30,000 acres of farmland.
      The 74-year-old billionaire’s company Kroenke Sports and Entertainment owns Arsenal and cut 55 jobs during the pandemic due to financial issues at Emirates Stadium.
      He also owns Super bowl-bound NFL side LA Rams, NBA team Denver Nuggets, NHL franchise Colorado Avalanche and MLS side Colorado Rapids.
      And he has invested billions of dollars into the construction of the 70,000 seat SoFI Stadium in Inglewood, California.
      When he secured the ranch in 2016, Kroenke said: “This is an incredible opportunity and an even greater responsibility.

      Kroenke said he was honoured to protect the American landmark when he bought the ranch in 2016. “We are honoured to assume ownership of the Waggoner – a true Texas and American landmark – and are deeply committed to continuing the proud legacy of W.T. “Tom” Waggoner, his family and his descendants.
      “Our gratitude to them and to the many parties involved in this process is immense. We will continue to preserve and protect this uniquely American treasure.”
      Kroenke is a fairly unpopular figure at Arsenal and in 2019 Gunners fans issued a joint statement calling on him to reinvigorate the club.
      The statement said supporters had “never felt more marginalised”. The club then sacked Unai Emery and hired Mikel Arteta.
      Kroenke is married to Ann, whose father Bud was an early partner in Walmart, which was founded by his brother Sam.
      In 2012, Kroenke bought another historic property, the 124,000-acre Broken O Ranch in Montana.
      He also owns ranches in Wyoming, Arizona and British Columbia.
      New York City could fit inside the ranch’s border
      And Los Angeles could still fit alongside NYC within the boundaries
      The ranch comes with 30,000 acres of farmland
      Agricultural machinery is seen across the gigantic swathes of land
      Oil wells are also dotted across the property in Northern Texas
      Picturesque stone outhouses also feature on the land

      But, thanks to Instagram, we’re beginning to get a picture of the lavish lifestyle the stunning Wag is now accustomed to living.
      Clad in designer clothing, the hispanic beauty is every bit a boxer’s Wag, able to swim in the riches of Canelo’s £100m fortune.
      However, it’s their five-year-old daughter Maria who comes first.
      IT BEGAN SEVEN YEARS AGO
      Fernanda reportedly met Canelo in 2016 at a charity gala, and instantly hit it off.
      They soon started dating, although they kept their romance private and out of the spotlight.
      That was, until, they were spotted celebrating his victory over Julio César Chávez Jr at Jewel Nightclub in Las Vegas.
      The pair briefly split up when Fernanda was pregnant in 2017 but got back together again.
      She’s been ringside ever since, with Canelo happy to share some of his success with her.

      ALONG CAME A DAUGHTER
      In December 2017, Fernanda and Canelo welcomed their first child together, who they called Maria.
      It was the famed brawler’s third child, he also has a daughter and a son from different relationships.
      Maria is doted upon by Fernanda, and celebrated a no-expenses-spared Swan Lake-themed birthday that looked like it would cost as much as a wedding.
      On the tables were party foods and lots of sweets.
      But the best part was the hired swans roaming freely around the family’s grounds.
      Fernanda reportedly dressed Maria in a Moschino sequinned blouse, while she was also clutching a Hermes pouch.

      DESIGNER WAG
      If you’re wondering how toddler Maria became such a designer-baby, look no further than her designer mummy.
      Fernanda wears the most exclusive brands, carries around accessories from the world’s biggest fashion houses, and lives a jet-set life the envy of many.
      Her go-tos are Louis Vuitton and Gucci, including a pair of £600 trainers made by the latter.
      She usually wraps herself in Louis Vuitton scarves, and also has a large collection of expensive sunglasses.
      As a sideline, Gomez also runs her own nail salon in Guadalajara. It pays to be a boxer’s Wag.
      TYING THE KNOT
      After several years of dating and having baby Maria together, Canelo and Gomez finally got married in 2021 before the champ beat Billy Joe Saunders.
      Fernanda looked stunning as she wore an incredible sparkling dress and headpiece for the special day – matched with toddler Maria.
      The World Boxing Organisation (WBO) congratulated the pair after pictures of their wedding surfaced online.
      The post read: “The WBO Family wishes lots of love and happiness to the recently married couple, Unified WBO Super Middleweight Champion Saúl ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and Fernanda Gómez.”
      Last year, Alvarez spoke briefly of his marriage to Gomez.
      “I feel way different, I am a happy man, more than before,” he told BT Sport.

      Lush gardens overlook an incredible backdrop of the Zug lake with the Alps right behind it.
      Astonishingly, the building also has a lift and the windows are bulletproof glass.

      Raikkonen is no different, which explains why his massive garage at Villa Butterfly can hold up to 10 cars.
      Although he is said to own a £300,000 Rolls-Royce Wraith Black Badge and a £3million Ferrari Enzo , it’s motorcycles that hold the Finnish legend’s attention.

      He has two customised bikes called Iceman I and Iceman II that were designed by German Walz Hardcore Cycles.
      Raikkonen was also gifted his 2018 United States Grand Prix-winning Ferrari that is believed to rest in his garage.
      But does he have enough room though for his old Alfa Romeo ride now the curtain has come down on his F1 career? More

      How Marcus Rashford benefited from Sliding Doors moment at Man Utd, or he could be playing for Wigan

      by

      MARCUS RASHFORD arrived on the scene at Manchester United by glorious accident – just like his current managers with club and country.A knee injury to Wayne Rooney, a late pull-out from Anthony Martial and a striker who’s ‘Manc born and bred’ was thrust in to United’s starting line-up for the Europa League tie against Danish club Midtjylland.

      Yet the local lad in question should have been Will Keane – twin brother of England defender Michael.
      At five years older than Rashford, Will was on the brink of a first-team breakthrough after several loan moves.
      With Louis Van Gaal’s United at least one striker short throughout that 2015-16 season, Keane had made a couple of sub appearances, yet he too was struck down by injury.
      So enter Rashford – ‘Marcus who?’ to all of us who were at Old Trafford that night – to see if United could avoid embarrassment after a 2-1 first-leg defeat in Denmark.
      It was Rashford’s Sliding Doors moment.
      Suddenly the 18-year-old kid who’d started that season in the youth team rather than the reserves was Manchester United’s centre forward.

      Often a talented teenager coming through the ranks at a top-six club is widely whispered about before their first-team breakthrough.
      Yet nobody had seen him coming.
      Rashford – who famously won his fight with Boris Johnson to feed hungry kids at Christmas – scored twice on his first-team debut, then twice on his Premier League debut to deliver a devastating blow to Arsenal’s title hopes in a 3-2 victory.
      After that he snaffled the only goal at the Etihad in his first Manchester derby.
      He would go on to score on his England debut and his Champions League debut too – showcasing the supreme calmness he needed in injury-time at the Parc des Princes as United pulled off a miracle in March 2019.
      That penalty to complete an astonishing Champions League comeback against Paris St Germain was the first spot-kick Rashford ever took for United.
      After a mysterious VAR call gave United their chance, Paris Saint-Germain’s experienced dark-artists tried every trick to distract him and Rashford buried it.
      Again United had been in the midst of an injury crisis in Europe. Again Rashford had stepped up.
      According to Solskjaer, both Rashford and Romelu Lukaku were on penalty duty that night and had been asked to fight it out between them.
      Rashford later revealed Lukaku let him take the spot-kick so he could grab the headlines.

      He was never likely to miss. Rashford doesn’t do nerves. Yet had United never suffered that injury crisis in February 2016 then who knows?
      He hadn’t been earmarked for a breakthrough that season and then came Jose Mourinho – hardly a man given to blooding unproven kids – along with Zlatan Ibrahimovic. A year later, £75million Lukaku.
      So, however talented, Rashford could have drifted – like Will Keane, currently at Wigan.
      Or like the other United kid to make his debut against Midtjylland, full-back Joe Riley – now at League Two Carlisle.
      Rashford was always blessed with outstanding ball skills but physically, he was a late developer.
      And the X factor for any striker is the ability to deliver under pressure – a quality impossible to measure until he is given a first-team opportunity.
      Those two and a half years under Mourinho were not a complete wasteland.
      Rashford continued to play regularly but, more often than not, on the wing – and it never felt as though the Portuguese believed in him.

      His disgusted reaction when Rashford squandered a chance against Young Boys in the Champions League group stage seemed to sum up their relationship.
      Yet even before he was appointed as United’s caretaker boss, Solskjaer had recognised a kindred goal-poaching spirit in Rashford.
      Four seasons ago, he’d give the young Englishman a pep talk about rediscovering that calmness in front of goal which had given him his breakthrough in the first place.
      As soon as Solskjaer took over as caretaker boss, Rashford was revitalised.
      He scored the first goal of the Norwegian’s reign after just three minutes at Cardiff, then netted again against Bournemouth.
      Although his magnificent assist for Paul Pogba was the highlight of that match, with United clearly discovering their joie de vivre.
      England boss Southgate, like Solskjaer, stumbled upon his current job as a lucky caretaker, having suffered relegation in his previous Premier League job.
      And even though he missed a crucial spot-kick in the Euro 2020 Final, he still remains a key part of the Three Lions’ future plans.
      Opportunism is a crucial in top-level football. Solskjaer and Southgate both recognise that quality in Rashford. More

      Roma star Tammy Abraham’s Wag is lifestyle vlogger Leah Monroe, who offers beauty tips on YouTube

      by

      TAMMY ABRAHAM has been in blistering form for Roma since leaving Chelsea.The striker has been making the news with his goals and displays at Roma in Serie A – breaking records in the process.
      Leah Monroe is Tammy Abraham’s glamorous Wag
      Abraham set a new scoring record for an English player in a single Italian season when he netted twice to score 17 goals in the league.
      And he’s been cheered on by his camera-friendly Wag Leah Monroe, 22.
      And the vlogger from London isn’t afraid to share her secrets, including the time she underwent plastic surgery.
      Monroe filmed her lip filler experience at a Harley Street surgeon, admitting it was the first time she went under and she was petrified.
      But the surgery was a success, and Monroe also revealed how she managed to cover up bruising she got.
      She said: “The bruising was still there (after a few days), it didn’t lighten up a bit, but it was so easy to cover up with lip gloss.”

      As Monaco marks 79 races take a look at the first-ever winner, a British hero who was captured and executed by the Nazis

      by

      SUNDAY will see the 79th ever Grand Prix at Monaco’s famously beautiful, yet dangerous circuit.The tight, weaving track on the Riviera has always attracted the best racers, as well as the world’s richest and most famous.
      Re-live the remarkable tale of Brit racer William Grover-WilliamsCredit: Getty Images
      As Lewis Hamilton prepares to do battle with Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen in the high-tech machines of the 21st century, we’re taking a nostalgic approach.
      Long before the days of near-1000 bhp engines, DRS and flappy-paddle gearboxes there was simply an engine, a steering wheel, four tires and a driver.
      In the deadliest sport on the planet in the 1920s and 30s, fearless drivers risked their lives to hurtle around the glamorous street circuit.
      The first-ever race at Monte Carlo took place in 1929, won by Brit William Grover-Williams.

      Born in France to an English horse-breeding father, the tale of Grover-Williams is equal parts incredible and heartbreaking.
      When he was 11, he was sent to live with family in Hertfordshire to seek refuge during World War I.
      On the Great War’s conclusion he returned across the Channel, moving his family to Monte Carlo – where his love of cars first blossomed.
      Grover-Williams learned to drive in a Rolls-Royce and quickly earned his licence in Monaco, before buying a motorcycle and competing in motorbike races throughout the 1920s.

      He kept the incredibly dangerous sport under wraps from his family, riding under the pseudonym W. Williams.
      By 1926 the French-born Brit had transitioned to motor racing, driving in Bugatti races throughout France, before entering the Grand Prix de Provence and the Monte Carlo Rally.
      Two years later he won the French Grand Prix at Magny-Cours, before winning again in 1929.
      1929 also saw the first-ever Monaco Grand Prix… which Grover-Williams went on to win.
      The Brit dominated F1, winning the Grand Prix de la Baule three years in a row, as well as the Belgian GP at Spa in 1931.

      However, his career came to an end in the 1930s, before war broke out in 1939, as Nazi Germany invaded Poland.
      As the Nazi’s occupied France, Grover-Williams fled to England where he joined the Royal Army Service Corps, but was immediately recruited by the Special Operations Executive due his fluency in the French language.
      He teamed up his racing driver friend Robert Benoist, working in Paris setting up a host of successful operations, setting-up sabotage cells and welcome parties for Allied parachute operations.
      Unfortunately, in August 1943, he was captured by the Nazis and was subjected to lengthy interrogation before he was deported to Berlin.

      Grover-Williams was held prisoner at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, were he was executed just months before the war ended.
      Remarkably, there is a conspiracy theory surrounding Grover-Williams which claims he in fact survived the war under the pseudonym Georges Tambal.
      ‘Tambal’ is said to have lived with Grover-Williams’ widow for many years after the war.
      Whether there’s any truth in it or not, we know his fascination for pseudonyms and his never-say-die attitude from his racing days…
      So great was Grover-Williams’ legacy, he was first recommended for an MBE, before being the inspiration for 2009 video game, ‘The Saboteur’. More
