Monaco is home to nine of the twenty Formula 1 drivers:
• Lewis Hamilton
• Max Verstappen
• Charles Leclerc
• Lando Norris
• Valtteri Bottas
• Sergio Perez
• Nico Hulkenberg
• Nyck de Vries
• Alex Albon
This is primarily because of three reasons.
Taxes: Monaco has no income tax, no wealth tax, no local tax, no property tax, and no capital gains tax.
Privacy: There are 12,000 millionaires living in Monaco — 1/3 of the entire population — so F1 drivers don't have to deal with crazy fans. And with the government requiring written permission for all professional photography, there are also fewer paparazzi.
Location: The Nice airport is only 15 miles from Monaco, which is especially important because F1 drivers will travel over 75,000 miles this year alone.
And, of course, it doesn’t hurt that Monaco’s weather is incredible, and the views are equally spectacular.

Max Verstappen arrived at the Miami Grand Prix on his $15 million private jet.
The plane has been in Baku, Monaco, and Miami within the last week, traveling more than 7,500 miles.
He purchased it from Richard Branson in 2020.
This is pretty cool. The cameras caught a look at Jordan Pickford's water bottle, and it told him to "stay" because 60% of Maddison's penalties go down the middle. He saved the penalty, preventing a 3-1 lead before half-time, and Everton later tied it up 2-2. Preparation is key!
Tottenham lost 6-1 at Newcastle United on Sunday, so the players are refunding fans that made the trip.
3,000 fans
x $38 ticket
——————
Total cost = $114,000
That's about 3% of Tottenham's weekly wage bill.
Race week in Baku means 20 of the city's busiest streets will be shut down for an entire week 🤯
The Wrexham story is INSANE:

LIV says they expect 60,000 fans.
The Oakland A's are the worst team in baseball:
• Lowest payroll
• Worst record
• Worst run differential
• Lowest average attendance
Their owner has destroyed the team over the last 20 years, and he is now being rewarded with relocation to Las Vegas.
Unbelievable!
