      Who is Charles Leclerc?
      Charles Marc Hervé Perceval Leclerc was born on October 16, 1997 in Monte Carlo, Monaco.
      His nickname in Italy is ‘il Predestinato’, which translates to ‘The Predestined’, and was given to him by F1 commentator Carlo Vanzini.
      He competed from an early age in karting, becoming French Champion in 2009, winning the Monaco Kart Cup in 2010, the CIK-FIA Academy Trophy and the Junior World Cup in 2011.
      Leclerc was the top rookie in Formula Renault in his first season, and then also in Formula Three the following year.

      In 2016 he won the GP3 Series before dominating the 2017 season of FIA Formula Two.
      He was spotted by Nicolas Todt in 2010 and joined the Ferrari Driver Academy in 2016.
      Charles entered Formula one in 2018 with Alfa Romeo Sauber F1, before moving to Ferrari in 2019, where his teammate was four-time World Champion Sebastian Vettel.
      Following seven pole positions, 10 podiums and two victories, Leclerc finished fourth in the 2019 World Championship and extended his contract with Ferrari until 2024.

      The 2020 season was below the Monegasque driver’s expectation as finished on the podium on just twice, finishing 8th in the drivers’ classification.
      In 2021, Charles secured two more pole positions and a podium.
      In 2022 he had an excellent season, finishing as runner-up behind Max Verstappen in the drivers’ standings.
      Aside from racing, Leclerc has recently hit the headlines after embarking on a career in the music business.
      He released his debut single titled AUS23 (1:1) in April.
      The four-minute classical song features Leclerc, 25, playing the piano.
      And the Monegasque driver has enjoyed a fast start after venturing into the world of music.
      According to ESPN, Leclerc spent time inside the Top 10 of the Worldwide iTunes song chart following the release of his song.
      The title of the track, AUS23 (1:1) is a tribute to the Australian Grand Prix, where the song was born.
      Leclerc did not start playing the piano until the Covid-19 pandemic, but has “fallen in love with the instrument” after spending time playing it.
      The Ferrari star said on his Spotify page: “I’m excited to share with you a piano song that I’ve been working on, born out of my passion for music and created as a way to disconnect from racing and relax in between races.
      “I’ve created this song around the Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix which is why I called it AUS23 (1:1). This is the way we call the Australian Grand Prix in my Formula One team and thought it would be a nice connection to the racing world.
      “After posting a story on Instagram of me playing that piano piece I had composed, I had a lot of positive feedback from the fans that inspired me to record it, making it easier for fans to enjoy my music.
      “My love for music has always been there, but it wasn’t until the pandemic that I started playing the piano.
      “With more time at home, I decided to buy a piano and learn to play. Since then, I’ve fallen in love with the instrument and find myself playing it whenever I’m at home.”
      Charles has also hilariously put himself forward to represent Monaco at next year’s Eurovison.
      The country withdrew from the 2007 edition due to poor results and three failures to qualify.
      But on hearing the news Monaco could be back for the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest due to the launch of TV Monaco and its membership with the European Broadcasting Union, Leclerc took to social media to offer his services.
      On X, formerly Twitter, he wrote: “I’m ready 🎤.”
      What is Charles Leclerc’s net worth?
      Reports of Leclerc’s net worth vary dramatically.
      At the bottom end EssentiallySports puts it at $12million (£9.7million).
      In the middle CelebrityNetWorth judges it to be $40million (£32.3million).
      Whereas at the other end of the spectrum Sportskeeda believes Charles has amassed a whopping $125million fortune (£101million).
      What is Charles Leclerc’s salary at Ferrari?
      Leclerc’s 2023 salary at Ferrari is reportedly $36million (£29million).

      This makes him the third-highest earning racer in F1.
      Unsurprisingly, the two drivers ahead of him are Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton. More

      Eagle-eyed fans began speculating after discovering the pair shared identical Instagram posts showing the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
      The photos were taken from the same angle and even have the same members of the public visible in them.
      Portuguese international Dias — who was photographed last year in Ibiza kissing exotic cabaret dancer Ginevra Festa following his split from pop star girlfriend ex April Ivy — is extremely protective of his private life, so the rumours have not yet been confirmed.

      Dias plays as a centre-back for Manchester City and the Portugal national side.
      In August 2021 he sighed a new six-year contract with the Sky Blues, reportedly doubling his previous £90,000-a-week wages.

      “I have enjoyed every single minute of my time at City since joining last year.
      “Playing for City has surpassed all my expectations and it’s an absolute pleasure to be part of such an incredible squad.
      “I would also like to thank Pep and the coaching staff for the way they have helped me to develop as a player and keep pushing me to improve.
      “To be part of the squad that achieved so much last season was incredible and made us all hungry to achieve even more.
      “Now I just want to try and play my part in helping us be successful this season and beyond.”
      Who is Arabella Chi?
      Arabella Chi is a 32-year-old model and influencer from London.
      She was featured on a billboard in Oxford Street for G Star in 2018 and famously dated former Love Island contestant Charlie Frederick.
      Though she’s mostly known for her modelling and reality TV work, Arabella has also appeared in blockbuster movies such as Wonder Woman and Justice League.
      While on the set of the Justice League, she seemed to have developed a crush on actor Jason Momoa, saying: “We had to train with him. I was an Amazonian. I remember this guy bear crawling towards me and I was like ‘oh my god, he is so hot’.”

      Arabella, who took part in the fifth season of Love Island in 2019, split from New York businessman Richie Akiva last month.
      The reality star has built herself an impressive online following since leaving the show, amassing over a million Instagram followers. More

      FANS claim Manchester United were “cooked on and off the pitch” as Newcastle’s social media team “chose violence” with a taunting tweet.Three days after a 3-0 Prem derby humbling against Manchester City, United departed the Carabao Cup by the same score against the Toon.

      Noting some home supporters exiting early, the Magpies’ admin posted: “Tonight’s attendance at Old Trafford is 72,000. Slightly less now.”
      And the response on X, formerly known as Twitter, was no kinder to the Red Devils.
      “It’s a zinger,” said one fan, and “Total violation,” stated another – apparently with glee.
      United were booed off at the end of each half by disheartened fans.

      And after the Toon added to the home misery with their online jibe, one supporter mocked Erik ten Hag’s troubled side further by posting: “Cooking them on the pitch. Cooking them on Twitter.”
      Fans, at least from the North East, were even more delighted when one viewer posted what he called “context” – a clip of those United fans leaving before the final whistle.
      Newcastle supporters could be heard chanting in that video: “We can see you sneaking out.” 
      One fan replied online: “Watched like 32 times. I love this so much.”

      And of the jeers from United supporters, the Dutchman added: “We have to recover from it. We have to do it quickly. Saturday (at Fulham) is the next game. We have to raise our standards.”

      The two Saudi Pro League sides faced off in a dramatic encounter that saw tensions flare up during stoppage time in the first half.
      Al-Nassr star Talisca hit the back of the net but his effort was chalked off following a VAR review that deemed Ronaldo was offside and interfered with play.
      That decision angered the five-time Ballon d’Or winner so much that he demanded the replacement of the match official as he signalled for a substitution while pointing at the ref.
      Fans were left stunned by the Manchester United legend’s shocking reaction as they took to social media.

      And that one stated: “GOAT.”
      The game went to extra-time after 90 goalless minutes, which saw Talisca being sent off just moments after his goal was disallowed as he caught an opponent with his left arm.
      However, Al-Ettifaq manager Steven Gerrard also lost one of his own players as Ali Hazazi was shown a red card in the 89th minute.
      Al-Nassr were the ones who ultimately emerged victorious, however, thanks to Sadio Mane’s winner three minutes before the end of extra-time.

      The rising ace said: “A lot of people have been saying I’m not a real prospect.
      “But shoot me to the stars, what’s where I belong.
      “My power is there and my team told me I had to let my hands go and that’s what happens.

      “As long as I avoid injuries I will be wanting to fight again in December, I would fight again tonight if they would let me.”
      Itauma first dropped the 10-1 Hungarian with a southpaw jab which he recovered from.
      Then the leftie wonderkid, already sponsored by Nike, broke his nose with a rifle of a left hand right down the pipe.
      Bernath was buzzed and bashed but Itauma still slashed an uppercut and lead right hook into his temple, before the referee dived in to stop the savagery.

      The headline read: “Star wants world’s oldest footy club – Taylor Swift to buy Notts County!”
      But any Swifties among the Notts County fanbase were left disappointed after the club’s owners promptly denied it.
      In a fun statement on Twitter, using the singer’s song titles, the club’s owners Alex and Chris Reedtz wrote: “As sorry as we are to disappoint the Swiftes in our fanbase, we’re going to have to shake this story off.
      “There’s certainly no bad blood between ourselves and Taylor but, at such an exciting time for us and the club, she surely couldn’t have believed in her wildest dreams that we would relinquish our control.

      “We’ll leave a blank space in tomorrow’s pre-match playlist for a track from her newly re-released 1989 album as a gesture of gratitude for her interest.”
      The club’s Twitter account then took things one step further when it produced a photoshopped image of Taylor Swift’s head superimposed onto the body of one of the ownership duo holding the National League play-off trophy.
      The account captioned the image with: “Taylor’s Version”.
      Fans on Twitter were entertained and perplexed in equal measure.

      Former WBC heavyweight king Wilder took to social media this week to issue a polite call out to his long-time rival, although he’s since changed his tune and branded him mentally “weak”.
      The Bronze Bomber told 78SportsTV: “With Anthony, I’ve always felt he had a weak mindset.
      “I’ve always felt he wasn’t too confident in himself.
      “He needs that affirmation of words to tell himself certain things.

      “I been saying that for a long time, and it just continues to seem that way.”
      Joshua, 34, has yet to respond to Wilder’s now-viral social media post – much to the annoyance of the American.
      He said: “Let me know if Joshua responds if he gets him a little heart, some kind of courage or bravery, and see if we can start brand new.
      “It’s about that time now. We can’t wait no more.

      “You gotta start making your commands and demands and don’t get sucked into the bulls*** of what the promotion is doing.”
      The 37-year-old added: “At some point in time he gotta grow up and become a man.
      “What I mean as a man is a man in the state of boxing.
      “You gotta say ‘I’m gonna overcome my fears, I’m gonna make this fight no matter what my promoter might say.’”
      Joshua seldom takes part in social media verbal warfare, although he occasionally has responded to Brit rival Tyson Fury.
      Wilder, however, interprets the former unified heavyweight champion’s silence as a sign of weakness.
      The Alabama slammer said of AJ: “He really don’t wanna fight me.
      “It’s more pressure each and every time someone mentions it.
