More than half of all Formula 1 drivers live within one square mile of each other in Monaco:

• Lewis Hamilton
• Max Verstappen
• Charles Leclerc
• Lando Norris
• Oscar Piastri
• George Russell
• Niko Hulkenberg
• Liam Lawson
• Oliver Bearman
• Alex Albon
• Carlos Sainz

Charles Leclerc was born in Monaco, but the rest of these drivers moved there for three primary reasons.

Location: The Nice airport in France is only 15 miles from Monaco, or a 7-minute helicopter ride. This is especially important for Formula 1 drivers because they travel over 75,000 miles each year.

Privacy: There are 12,000 millionaires living in Monaco — 1/3 of the entire population — so F1 drivers don't have to deal with as many crazy fans. Plus, with the government requiring written permission for all professional photography, there are fewer paparazzi.

But while a convenient location and privacy are great, the real reason F1 drivers move to Monaco is taxes.

Monaco has no income tax, no wealth tax, no local tax, no property tax, no estate tax, and no capital gains tax.

And of course, it doesn't hurt that Monaco's weather is incredible and the views are equally spectacular.

P.S. I recently broke down the most interesting (and secretive) details behind Formula 1's Monaco Grand Prix.

We cover the $200 million yacht wars, the Ritz-Carlton's floating hotel, why Monaco citizens must deposit €500,000 in a local bank account, and how the entire track is put together and dismantled in just six weeks.

Every World Cup has that one completely random striker who turns into prime Ronaldo Nazário for exactly two weeks, has a great tournament, signs a £60M contract with a top club, and then disappears from football forever.
I wonder who it's going to be this month

I was forwarded this image on WhatsApp, and it’s been making rounds all week.

This was June 1997. Moi was in power. Fuel prices and cost of living were high and our rights were under attack.

29 years later, different era, same struggle.

Kenya is blessed with so much potential, we cannot remain trapped in an endless cycle of corruption, poor priorities and injustice.

We must unite and put in place leadership that can truly break this endless cycle of unnecessary misfortune.

I want every Kenyan seeing this to tweet:

REJECT FUEL PRICES.

REJECT FUEL PRICES

Don’t stay silent while the cost of food, transport and electricity is being pushed beyond reach.

A Sh46 diesel increase will hurt every family in Kenya.

I was on a train in Tokyo. We stopped between stations. Announcement in Japanese, then in English: "We apologize for the delay. We will resume shortly."

The delay was maybe 3 minutes. Not a big deal.

When the train started moving again, another announcement: "We sincerely apologize for the delay. We were stopped for 3 minutes and 20 seconds. This is unacceptable. Thank you for your patience."

Three minutes and twenty seconds. They measured it exactly. And called it unacceptable.

When I got off at my stop, there were station staff on the platform bowing and handing out delay certificates.

I took one out of curiosity. It was an official document stating that the train had been delayed by 3 minutes and 20 seconds, signed and stamped.

The staff member said in English "for your employer. So they know the delay was not your fault."

I said I'm a tourist, I don't need it. He looked confused. "But the delay affected you. You deserve an apology."

Three minutes. They were treating a three-minute delay like a major incident.

Later I mentioned this to a Japanese friend. They said "oh yes, delay certificates are normal. Trains are supposed to be exactly on time. If they are late, they must apologize."

I said three minutes isn't late, it's nothing. My friend said "in Japan, three minutes is late. On time means on time. Not approximately on time."

They said the train company probably investigated why there was a 3-minute delay. "They will find the cause and fix it so it doesn't happen again."

I kept the certificate. It's framed in my apartment now. A reminder that somewhere in the world, people care about three minutes.

A sitting senator sexualized a minor in the Senate while children are missing, defiled, and murdered. Letting her get away with a ChatGPT apology is unacceptable. Karen Nyamu must resign.

Loris Karius went from his costly errors in the Champions League Final 2018 — a night that effectively ended his Liverpool career — to years in the wilderness, playing just SIX matches between 2021 and 2024.

He even went 6 months without a club in 2024 and considered retirement.

However, in January 2025, Schalke signed him and revived his career. He's now 32-years old, he's made 12 clean sheets this season and helped the club secure PROMOTION back to the Bundesliga after battling back from injury.

This is football. This is life. Never give up. ❤️🇩🇪

Most people are surprised when they hear I went from professional football to green chemistry.
But to me, it was a natural transition. ⚽️👨🏽‍🔬

Growing up in the south of France, I was surrounded by nature and the sea from an early age. As my football career progressed, so did my awareness of global warming and the impact that different industries have on the environment and on our health.

The products most of us use every day, from shampoos to cleaning products to paints, are still built on fossil-based ingredients. Changing that became my mission.🌱

In 2013, I co-founded GFBiochemicals to make everyday products safer and more sustainable using plant-based ingredients.

Football prepared me for this journey more than I expected the discipline, the resilience, and what it truly means to be part of a team. But there is an important shift: as a player, you’re judged on your own performance. As a founder & CEO, your role is to lead and inspire your team, and to share success together.

I spoke with Harvard Business Review France about my journey: the transition from international footballer to Green Chemistry entrepreneur, the challenge of building in a sector I came to as an outsider.
