Max Verustapane There is still no idea when he will stop racing in Formula 1, but has accepted the idea that he will probably not win the World Championship again “if the circumstances are not correct.

The time of Vastapane as the reign of the world champion is set to end with the red bull at the speed of McLaren this year.

Either one Oscar piastry Or Lando Noris By the end of the season, snap the streak of Verustapane of four direct titles.

Until 2028, Red Bull has always been contracted Verustapaine has always said that he does not intend to run in F1, which has already won a world title in 2021.

Talking to ESPN on the Dutch Grand Prix weekend, Vastapane said that he still does not know how long he will run.

“I will probably not continue until 44,” Vastapane joked in response to an example of a two -time world champion Fernando AlonsoThose who have not won a race since 2013 despite being considered one of the great modern era.

The verster is alert to the upcoming regulation of F1, which promises to reset the competitive order in 2026.

“I think it’s already more as I could have dreams anytime, you know, back in the day. So, of course, I am very happy and proud that whatever I have achieved so far and you never know, you may not win a championship again. It’s something that may happen, but it is not really in my mind.”

The question of how long the Versent will keep racing, the question is a dull in Formula 1.

“I have a lot of plans and things around racing, but it is not necessarily a requirement of my participation 100%, I think, in the future. But of course, in the beginning, in the beginning, it is important to set everything really well. But those plans are for the future, below the line.

“I would like to drive a little more (after F1), but I do not really consider the manager side of things to be worse, you know, other drivers to compete in your car, your team. So yes, yes, I mean, I mean it is not easy to answer completely. It doesn’t want to look like an idiot!”

Despite his red bull contract, Vastapane was placed by Mercedes about a step in 2026 – something that he has now rejected.

Message from Liverpool The fans were clear.

As dust froze on its team’s 3-2 victory Newcastle United Last week at St. James Park, distant supporters asked their opponents to “hand over”. In the question “him”, of course, was a wantway striker of Newcastle, Alexander its,

After a week of that dramatic win over the tincide, Liverpool’s loyalty attained his desire as he eventually stepped on a British-riddled £ 125 million ($ 169m).

It was a water -filled wealth in a summer Premier League Champions have flexed their financial muscles more than any club in the world. Midfielder Florian wretz – Who included Bayer leverkusen In June, in a £ 100 meter deal that can grow to £ 116m with add-on-a ball in anger is barely kicked and yet has already been used as a club’s record signature. Liverpool’s total expenditure is about 450 meters in this summer, which is an add-on.

In a scenario where clubs live and die from compliance with financial rules, both domestically (profit and stability rules, or PSR) and in Europe (playing financial fair), there will be confusion in some quarters about the ability to spend so independent in this heat.

Only Chelsey A single transfer has spent more in window (About £ 600m in 2022-23), And yet Liverpool is not at risk of dissolving the financial rules of either the Premier League or UEFA. So how have they done it?

Liverpool’s clever financial plan set the platform

The first indication is that it would not be a simple heat for Liverpool, returning in April. Fresh, forward, forwarded by putting pen on paper on two -year contract expansion in Enfield Mohammad Salah Club media was asked if he felt that his team was ready to continue challenging for the major honors.

“If I don’t believe, I would not have signed,” the advice said. Next week, captain Virgil van lamp Before signing his own contract expansion, the owners sent a sharp message to the Fenway Sports Group.

“I think Liverpool should be able to challenge the title in the coming years,” said the defender. “Whatever happens in the case of players going out, I think it should be a big heat. I think (FSG) is planning to create a big heat, so we all have to rely on the board, as a fan associated with Liverpool, to do the right thing, to do the right thing.”

While Salah and Van Dijak would certainly not have imagined their faith in the hierarchy of the club, it will be so strongly repaid, it is because the two players – who are still at the peak of their powers – committed their promise to Liverpool as they were assured that their loyalty would be obtained with a significant performance in the transfer market.

Externally, it may appear that the liverpool is deviated from its traditional policy of spending cautiously. However, the years of crude financial planning have really enabled the club to take handbreak in this summer.

“Alexander for Liverpool for Liverpool is very simple due to being able to be so big on the Liverpool, and in this summer,” football writer’s main occupation for ESPN, Dave Powell told ESPN. “Not only did they make themselves up to a point where the revenue is the largest in world football, they have also arrived in a summer where they can effectively trade players.

“They knew that they could come on a strong 2024-25 back in this summer, when they did not less than £ 90 meters from the Champions League, when including the MatchDe Revenue, and raised additional funds from winning the Premier League.

Did Arsenal or Liverpool make smart transfer moves?

Rob Dawson and James Oli debated Liverpool and Arsenal’s transfer window addition to “The Football Journalists” podcast.

Along with broaden the parameters of liverpool’s financial capabilities with record revenue, the impressive track record of the club to resume significant fees for departed players has made them more headrooms in terms of the profit and stability rules of the Premier League.

Like the stars of the first team Luis Diz, Darwin nunez And Jarel Quansa This summer helped generate around £ 260m, inclusion of add-on. In contrast, title rivals Arsenal – Despite spending less than liverpool in this summer- finish the window with a high net expense, failing to secure significant fees for any of your outgoing players.

While the choice of arsenal, Manchester City And Chelsea has been active in the last two transfer windows, only the last summer of Liverpool was ahead in the coming summer. Federico chisa For the initial fee of £ 10m. In each of the last two summer, Liverpool chose against chasing expensive options after remembering its top midfield goals (Moses prisoners In 2023; Martin Zubemandi In 2024). This patience, it seems, has now been rewarded.

“Premier League clubs may lose £ 105M over a three -year period,” with the infrastructure, academy, women’s team and acceptable deduction for investment in community initiatives, “Powell explains. “The period from 2021–22 to 2023-24 saw the profit of £ 7m to the Reds, £ 9m and a loss of £ 57m for the last three years. In the case of acceptable cuts in that period, the club had £ 33m, £ 39m in the club. No concern.

“Given that we are now in the 2025-26 cycle for PSR, Reds can lose more than £ 200m and still be obedient. They will not do so, and it is not in mind that it is not to get out of the player, which they have made in this heat, many of which are homegron, which means that the martyr amount is pure advantage because there is no book price on accounting, which is no book price, which is clear.”

Is there a roof for liverpool expenses?

Liverpool critics will point to the fact that this heat spending race is on the obstacles with the comments made by Jurgan Clop, a former manager of Liverpool, in front of his team’s struggle with Manchester City in October 2022, admitted that his team could not compete with the financial power of his rivals,

“No one can compete with the city,” he said. “You have the best team in the world, and you put in the best striker in the market. No matter what it costs, you just do it. The city will not like it, no one will like it, but you know the answer. What does Liverpool do? We can’t work like them. It is not possible.”

After its acquisition by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, the clop also targeted Newcastle, claiming that the club had “no roof” for the expenses. But about three years later, people of a newcastle persuasion will be justified in realizing that it is liverpool – with other traditional “Big Six” sides – the roof of which is very high due to their historical business success.

For Liverpool, however, there is an understanding that this heat has given a chance to do ground work for a dynasty. Still following the rules, the Premier League Champion has gathered a team with quality to challenge the game’s biggest awards, not only this season, but for the future of the future.

Hachisan Slam its and Visa’s ‘lack of professionalism’

While trying to move the clubs, Don Hachisan discussed the lack of professionalism of Alexander and Juti Visa and refused to train for his respective clubs.

Perhaps for the first time, Liverpool has “won” the transfer window. with the exception of crystal Palace guard Mark Gauhi – Whose £ 35 meter transfer fell when the Palace withdrew from the deal in the 11th hour- he secured all his top goals, all of which are still ahead of his peak year. (Its 25, Vartz 22, Hugo Acritic 23, Jeremy Fimpong 24, and Milos Curcase Only 21. Defender Giyavani leoneA long -term possibility, turned 18 in December.)

Of course, success in the market does not always translate to success on the pitch. Chelsea has spent more than £ 2 billion in recent years under the ownership of Todd Bohli, but many times, it has caused more problems than solutions.

Even with all the additions, this liverpool team is not infallible. Despite winning its first three games of the season, the side of the slot has seen many times unconfirmed, especially on defense, and the squad will take time after summer of such changes. Nevertheless, the slot has never really subscribed to the idea of ​​Liverpool being an underdog and there will be no confusion about the expectation on their team to distribute the word.

“We are liverpool, the pressure always continues,” he said earlier this month. “Even if we bring 10 players, or there is no player, there is always pressure on wearing a liverpool shirt.”

FSG for Liverpool owners – who have previously been malicious by some quarters of the fan base for lack of their investment – This summer confirms his commitment to the club which he considered to sell in 2022. Such investments, however, do not come without risk.

Says Pavel, “The money that has returned through the door means that the liverpool can earn a good profit despite its heavy expenses, but the flip side of the coin is that there is a risk.” “The club needs to be a part of the Champions League Elite and perform well in the competition to maintain big money rolling to support expenses, and they need to become a prominent player in the Premier League so that big brands want to align themselves with reds.

“Such expenses do not come without an element of risk, but in such a high-dot game such as elite European football, Liverpool feels that this summer is about to strengthen and strengthen its position on the investment ground in summer so that they can close it. It is at hand for FSG.”

In the record of breaking records to sign it in this summer, Liverpool has further strengthened its position as a team to defeat the Premier League this season. But after spending so much, the champions will be expecting that it receives the award immediately.
