ARTICLE: AS A ROOKIE IN THE SHIFTER CLASS (AT 15 YEARS OF AGE) HE WON THE WINTER CUP… WITH A FEVER! (2022)

source: mattia livraghi, tkart series: karting, 2013

Among the classes of international karting there is one that represents the arrival point in the career of a professional kart driver: KZ. First it was called Formula C, then KZ1, but the name matters little, the essence is that we are talking about the top class, in which super experts race, even at 20-30 years of age. People who have practically nothing more to learn and who by profession demolish the new recruits, the rookies, until these, based on many overtakings and after a lot of competitions, cut their teeth and enter by right, in turn, in this small circle of drivers who are referred to as "the senators". But every now and then, to tell the truth, very rarely, particular rookies appear on the karting scene capable of overturning this practice. As in 2013, when in the opening round of the season, the Winter Cup at the South Garda Karting in Lonato, a teenager from Monte carlo showed up who, despite being physically KO, decided that certain habits ... were not his cup of tea.

It is 17 February 2013 and it is cold, as it should be on a winter Sunday when you are near Brescia, precisely at South Garda Karting in Lonato, for the Winter Cup. KZ was not scheduled for that weekend, so all the top drivers of the premier class poured into KZ2, which had something like 70 entrants. Among these, names that have marked or would go on to mark the history of karting: Davide Forè, Marco Ardigò, Paolo De Conto, Arnaud Kozlinski, Bas Lammers, Anthony Abbasse, Ben Hanley, Patrik Hajek, Roberto Toninelli, Fabian Federer, Yannick de Brabander, Flavio Camponeschi and Rick Dreezen, just to name a few in no particular order. However, there was also a boy from Monte Carlo born in 1997. His name is Charles Leclerc and he had already made himself known globally for his excellent results (above all by winning the 2011 CIK-FIA World Cup in KF3, the junior class of single speed karts at that time) in the other classes in which he competed. After a 2012 in KF2 (the year in which the now famous long-distance bickering with Max Verstappen occured, which we talk about in the article "Editorial - Leclerc vs Verstappen: the true story of the first clash in the days of karting"), his manager and Charles's team manager decided that the time had come for him to gain experience with "the seniors", in KZ and KZ2.

Charles did not hold back. To the contrary: "He was very motivated and eager to start his journey in shifter karts - Marco Lombardi told us, his mechanic in ART Grand Prix, the brand and the team for which Leclerc was racing at the time, also because he always wanted a more performing vehicle. He was thrilled to have the sensation of feeling closer to racing cars”. Leclerc had his first race ever in a shifter kart two weeks before the Winter Cup, in Muro Leccese, on the occasion of the first round of the WSK Master Series, where he finished in sixth position. His team manager Armando Filini, a historical face in karting, as well as one of the best chassis builders in the sector, was not that surprised by the disarming naturalness with which the young driver form Monte Carlo took his first steps in the new class: "I have known him since he was little, because Jules (Bianchi, editor's note) was his mechanic in France in the MINI class and brought him to me in Maranello Kart for his debut in the Junior class. Charles was very smart: he quickly adapted to everything. At any race he participated in, with any type of tyre, there was no need to spend a lot of time studying the track or anything else: he was already racing strongly at 90%, so it was much easier to get good results with him."But it's the difficulties that make certain stories worth telling.

Charles Leclerc heads to the track together with his mechanic Marco Lombardi.

Leclerc talks to Lombardi and Piergiorgio Ballarini, another mechanic who was working with him at the time, while he is leaning on his kart (ART GP - TM Racing), just outside the ART Grand Prix team tent.

Do you think that the Winter Cup, in the rookie class, could represent a fairly intense and arduous challenge? You would be wrong. In fact, another factor complicates things for Leclerc, the absolute co-protagonist of this story: a fever. That's right, Charles Leclerc showed up at the Winter Cup with a 39°C fever. "From the first days it was clear that he was not in great shape and from Friday he was not at all well", admits Lombardi. “He had flu and was physically weak. At the end of the day, after having raced, he was completely down and out”. A physical condition for which most mere mortals would stay in bed to rest, the most daring, perhaps, on the sofa watching TV. Instead, the fifteen-year-old from Monte Carlo was on the bends of a kart track taming a vehicle with a weight/power ratio comparable to that of the best road supercars. But on one condition: "I told him, Lombardi remembers, 'Look, if you have a high fever, at least skip the last free practice session', but he replied with an endless series of 'No'. He wanted to get on the kart and race to the last, regardless of everything". In the end, a short trip to the pharmacy, accompanied by the engineer of the ART Grand Prix, to buy some medicines was a must. But the real therapy for Charles seems to be another, as Lombardi explains: "When driving adrenaline kicked in, it was so intense that it gave the impression that his fever had passed". This allowed the young driver form Monte Carlo to work at it and improve during free practices: “His driving was quite clean. The problem arose when the track was a bit more slippery, like in the early rounds and he, despite this, wanted to see the time, even if the track was 'slow'. He complained if they gave him two tenths, not considering that there were more experienced drivers who knew how to adapt better to those conditions".

Leclerc laughs with Lombardi before entering the track.

Leclerc celebrates, together with Lombardi, the success he achieved, with a fever, at the 2013 Winter Cup.

It goes without saying that when Charles sets the 11th best time in the qualifiers, with his TM Racing powered ART GP, he was anything but satisfied: "He had suffered at the beginning because the track was was not rubberizing quickly and he loved grip", explains Marco. "He was a driver who tended to always keep his foot down, so in the first races in KZ he found himself in difficulty in slippery track conditions: he forced too much and wore the tyres a lot". But Charles does not lose heart: “he was demoralized, continues Lombardi, but he motivated himself as soon as he got back on the kart the following morning. When he was unable to do something, he was even more motivated and in any case it was enough to explain things to him once: he immediately took everything literally and put it into practice". In fact, Charles performed very well in the various heats, winning a second place as the best result and climbing up to eighth place in the general rankings. Thanks to his driving style, more and more effective with an increasingly rubberized track, and to excellent teamwork, Leclerc continued to progress and, as the weekend continued, managed to take fifth position in the pre-final. Marco Lombardi recalls that he “always earned at least one or two positions at the start. It helped to have the driver in front as a reference point, which always pushed him to say: 'I have to go and get him, I have to overtake him". While the performances on the track improved, the same cannot be said of Leclerc’s physical conditions, still with flu and feverish.

In fact, on the day of the final, looking at his face, which was pale and suffering during the parade of the drivers, anything could be predicted except what would actually happen. Charles still managed to stay calm on the starting grid: "I always told him, Marco says, 'You already have a heavy foot, but in the race you have to use your head, especially when overtaking: study your opponent, identify the right moment to pass and be firm. Don't pretend, because if they take advantage of the driver behind and, with him, the group following him, five of them will take you". In short, a fifteen-year-old in a cage of lions: Leclerc dashed from the third row, while the first was occupied by his teammate Ben Hanley and the Birel De Conto standard bearer. “We had more of a chance with Hanley, admits Armando Filini. “With Charles we still didn't have the certainty of the final, we didn't know how he could behave over the duration”. Only a phenomenon can surprise even a long-time karting figure such as Filini, who had already seen it all… But he could not have imagined what he was to witness that day. Ready, go and already the first surprise: the driver from Monte Carlo darted off and, overtaking the entire row in front of him, moved into third position. The spectators were almost stunned seeing that cat-like leap and Armando reveals that it was not only Charles' skill that allows him to do certain things, but also his attitude: "When he had his teammate in front of him, he had to go and get him, even at the cost of trampling over others".

Ever since the traffic lights went out, the race was of an incredible sporting intensity. However, after an excellent start, Leclerc seemed to be in trouble: in fact, he was overtaken first by Ardigò and then by Forè. However, the driver form Monte Carlo maintained an impressive coolness and was not intimidated, even when he happened to miss a gear and risk being "devoured" by those behind him. "It was difficult to give him advice", Armando specifies. "He was very instinctive, so we also let him do his thing a little bit. Especially because he was a youngster and you couldn't think that he already had the mentality of a 30-year-old professional". Charles still asserted himself in the midst of more experienced and titled drivers, so much so that he took back third position towards the middle of the race, thanks to two masterpiece manoeuvers: the first against Forè, the second against Ardigò (two multiple world champions). Leclerc thus found himself in the wake of his teammate, who in turn was staying very close to the leader De Conto, but a few laps from the end Forè tried another attack on the driver from Monte Carlo and went far forwards, hitting Charles. Ardigò took the opportunity to overtake and the young driver of the ART Grand Prix team returned to fourth position, also losing some ground against his rivals in the lead. When the chequered flag was just around the corner, in a situation like this and in a class like KZ, most people would naturally throw in the towel and accept that the gap with the podium was now unbridgeable, especially if they then suffer a "blow" like this as a fifteen year old, in his second experience in the highest class of karting, with a 39°C fever.

The helmet that Leclerc used at the 2013 KZ world championship and with which he became vice world champion. Charles gave it to Lombardi, autographing it and referring to the nickname that Marco gave him: “Sgrintela”, which means “lizard”. The driver for Monte Carlo made a small mistake and wrote "Sgrintera".

Instead, Leclerc still managed to amaze. A few metres to make sure there was no damage and the driver from Monte Carlo went back to pushing himself, without being discouraged: "I had five or six drivers like Leclerc, including Bianchi, Barnicoat, Harvey and Hanley, but in my opinion Charles was the one who was hungrier, he wanted to achieve results as soon as possible”, Armando reveals. "The others had a little patience: they knew they had to learn and were aware that sometimes someone else could simply be faster and therefore there was little to do. On the contrary, he refused this possibility. Even when he knew that drivers from other teams were more incisive on a certain circuit, he had to find something to stay ahead. With this goal, therefore, he tormented everyone: me for the chassis, Franco Drudi of TM Racing for the engines and the telemetry operator. He was obsessed”. And Leclerc proved this determination precisely in the last rounds of that Winter Cup. In fact, the driver from Monte Carlo firstly got back into third position, taking advantage of a spin by Ardigò, caused by a rear-end collision by De Conto. Then, following a contact between De Conto and Hanley for the leadership of the race, he managed to overtake his teammate thanks to an extremely shrewd manoeuver: after receiving a body blow, Hanley was forced to widen and Charles dived right into that space: “It was a crucial moment of the race, he managed to take advantage of it (taking second place behind De Conto, editor's note) without coming into contact with anyone.

However, he then began to have some fears," admits Marco. The driver born in 1997 was one step away from completing an unthinkable feat and it was natural that even he would be a bit insecure: "He kept looking back, watching who was chasing him and I kept signalling him to look forwards" . But in the end Leclerc kept up the pressure and crossed the finish line in second position. The young driver from Monte Carlo let loose his joy, while the spectators started rubbing their eyes to understand if what they had seen was true: "I knew he could do well right from the start, but I honestly wasn't expecting a podium and it surprised me" Lombardi confides. “He didn't expect it either, considering the fever problem too. But he never gave up, he gave 100% to the last. He had gained confidence in seeing himself improve constantly over the course of the weekend and in the final he drove with a knife between his teeth”. A great effort that deserved a great prize. If, in fact, Charles was already enthusiastic about the silver medal and having kept his expert teammate behind him, the icing on the cake came when, after the award ceremony, he learned that De Conto had been given a penalty of five seconds for his manoeuver on Ardigò.

Leclerc thus inherited the victory and was over the moon: "he was really happy and didn't even seem sick anymore" remembers Marco. "It was his first really important race in shifter karts and there were all the drivers participating in the world championship. That Sunday evening, he had so much adrenaline in his body that he wanted to stay and eat with us, but at a certain point his father told him that it was time to go home". As a winner.

Egregio direttore, sono un agricoltore, ho più di 60 anni, ho fatto la terza media ma la mia carenza di istruzione non mi fa alterare la realtà. Le scrivo un po’ arrabbiato da Imola.

Vi informo su quello che è successo in Romagna:

1) le campagne sono state abbandonate, sopratutto nelle zone montane e nessuno tutela il territorio. Certe zone non danno o danno meno reddito;

2) la manutenzione dei fiumi non viene fatta: nei letti dei fiumi vengono fatti crescere molti alberi. A questi si aggiungono i molti rami secchi trasportati dalla corrente verso valle, che vanno a formare dighe lungo il corso dei fiumi. Questo riduce anche dell’80 per cento il deflusso delle acque piovane rendendo più facile la rottura degli argini.

A Spazzate Sassatelli (frazione di Imola) il livello dell’acqua è più basso di circa 4 metri rispetto a cinque chilometri a monte dove si è rotto l’argine del fiume Sillaro che ha inondato le campagne.

Se qualche agricoltore o persona di buona volontà intende pulire il letto del fiume, rischia sanzioni o la reclusione. Ci sono aziende che in cambio del legno asportato pulirebbero il corso dei fiumi a costo zero.

È semplicistico dare la colpa al cambiamento climatico, bisognerebbe invece dire che non si è stati in grado di capire come tutelare il territorio e aiutare nel territorio chi prova di sopravvivere.

È falso dire che i giovani ritornano in campagna. No, numeri alla mano nelle campagne i giovani diminuiscono continuamente anche perché in campagna c’è da farsi un mazzo così, con un reddito molto basso.

Non intendo essere offensivo, spero che abbia capito il senso della mia mail. Grazie dell’attenzione

Baco

Michelangelo Merisi, conocido como Caravaggio (Milán 1571 - Porto Ercole 1610)

Hacia 1598

Pintura al óleo sobre lienzo

95x85 cm

Inventario 1890 n. 5312

La pintura forma parte de la primera serie de medias figuras pintadas "en claro" que incluye obras como el "Fruitman" de la Galería Borghese de Roma, el "Niño mordido por un lagarto verde" de la Fundación Longhi de Florencia, el "Canasta de frutas" de la Pinacoteca Ambrosiana de Milán. Caravaggio, protagonista en Roma en la primera década del siglo XVII de una revolución pictórica que invadió toda Europa, muestra en esta obra una interpretación magistralmente naturalista del mundo vegetal. Sorprende la interpretación de la cesta de frutas y de la copa de vino ofrecida por Dios, pasajes entendidos por algunos estudiosos como una invitación horaciana a la vida frugal, la convivencia y la amistad. La figura escultórica de Baco, con su expresión aturdida por el vino, está ejemplificada en modelos del arte clásico, en particular en los retratos de Antínoo, y parece imbuida de una lánguida sensualidad. Mina Gregori leyó en él una particular visión de la antigüedad alabando la libertad de los sentidos y una referencia a los ritos iniciáticos y disfraces báquicos que se practicaban en Roma. Hallada en los depósitos de los Uffizi en 1913 y atribuida a Caravaggio por Roberto Longhi, la obra hace referencia a la actividad aún juvenil del pintor, cuando, en Roma, se encontraba bajo la protección del cardenal Francesco Maria del Monte. Este cuadro, junto con la Medusa (inv. 1890 n. 1351), fue donado por el cardenal del Monte a Fernando I de Médici con motivo de la celebración de la boda de su hijo Cosme II en 1608.

I Dress To Kill - Part Three

The car eventually stopped at the Le Meridien Beach Glass Tower Apartments the most exclusive luxury apartments in all of Monte Carlo. Bind was impressed yet again. Nicole drove into the underground car park and parked in what appeared to be her exclusive parking spot. Nicole and Bind walked across the car park towards the elevator and the doors immediately opened. Once inside Nicole pressed the button marked “P” with her black leather gloved index finger. You live in the Penthouse?” Bind asked , “that must have cost you at least €40 million, you must have a very healthy bank balance”. Nicole smiled “I’m a 21st Century woman Mr. Bind, the business I’m in , when people employ me they are guaranteed success and they pay me handsomely for my skills. I’m the best there is, no equal”. “And what business is that Nicole”? Bind asked, just as the elevator doors opened to the most luxurious penthouse apartment Bind had ever seen. Bind didn’t notice that Nicole didn’t reply to his question regarding her means of employment.

“Make yourself at home Charles”, would you like a drink” Nicole asked. “Vodka Martini, shaken, not stirred” Bind replied. “Of course, I think I’ll have the same” Nicole said. Nicole removed her black tuxedo jacket and Bind noted with pleasure that the black silk blouse she was wearing was backless, her beautifully tanned exquisite back tantalized Bind in anticipation of his inevitable conquest of her. Nicole prepared the drinks, 4 measures of vodka and half measure of vermouth in each glass, ice cold, a slice of lemon in Bind’s glass to garnish the flavor. Bind was seated and watched the woman at all times to ensure that she poured the alcohol from the same bottles into each of their glasses. When Nicole came in with the drinks , she handed Bind his , he took a sip, the drink was perfectly made, the perfect combinations of vodka and vermouth, chilled to perfection , the lemon slice adding just a hint of extra flavor. Nicole placed her glass to her lips and also drank, however hers was without lemon slice. “To each her own” Bind thought, he would make some small talk with this woman before as usual like all other women she would succumb to his charms and he would bed her, although she did present an intriguing challenge. However suddenly, Bind felt dizzy, something was wrong. The drink had been drugged, but she had drunk exactly the same with no ill effects and just before he passed into unconsciousness, Bind remembered Nicole’s glass had no lemon slice as he slipped into a drugged induced sleep. Nicole regarded the helpless Bind on the floor and smirked " oh Charles you really weren't much of a challenge" she remarked.

Bind awoke sometime the next morning, still groggy, finding himself sitting in a large black sumptuous leather armchair, hands and feet untied, amazingly he was not shackled in any way whatsoever. It was daylight, Bind must have been out for hours . Opposite him, reclining almost contemptuously, in a matching armchair 20 feet away was his sexy nemesis Nicole, who was now a brunette with sea green eyes which had been enhanced by a sumptuous blacker than black mascara, impossibly glossy red lips adorned by Dolce and Gabbana Devil In Red lipstick. The woman was now dressed in a tight Roberto Cavalli full length studded pencil thin sheer noir black leather dress which came down to her knees and which seemed molded onto her fantastically perfect sculpted body, but which was also slashed to her upper thighs showing off her Agent Provocateur black topped seamed stockings, her fabulous legs crossed, right over left, and Christian Louboutin fire engine red python leather ankle boots with six inch pin heels and matching red soles, expensive Akillis Bullett earrings decorated her lobes. Nicole was about to murder Bind in ultra provocative female assassin chic style, tantalizing and beguiling her victim in equal parts before she fired the fatal shots, In her left elbow length black leather gloved hand was her custom made gleaming black 9mm Sig-Sauer with silencer attached, a glass of cold Gout de Diamants champagne in a Baccarat crystal flute beside her on an antique table Bind recognized the scent of perfume the woman was wearing, aptly called Praying Mantis, he knew also that this was THE most expensive exclusive perfume in the world. Bind now realized exactly what business this woman was in. The business of murder and he knew now that she was an elite member of the assassin profession. And both Nicole and Bind knew that a praying mantis was in the insect world known an an ambush predator. A hit-woman who had captured her prey by stealth and strategy. Nicole had chosen this scent specifically this morning to devour Bind.

“Good morning Charles, I trust you slept well, I know I did, so glad to see you’re back in the land of the living but don’t worry you won’t be for long as you can see I am literally dressed to kill” Nicole said smiling. “However, before I murder you darling my employer would like to have a word with you”.

Nicole pressed a button on a Sony laptop which was placed on a table next to where she sat. The screen came on and Bind could not believe his eyes as the face of his boss M appeared. “Good morning 007 , I’m so pleased that you could make it” M said. “Nicole has a private jet waiting for her on the runway at Monte Carlo Airport so I won’t make this any longer than it needs be”. “Quite simply 007, 2 years ago I decided to go into business for myself”. “The Government would have pensioned me off with a gold watch and a small pension and said thank you very much for all your work.” So I began recruiting the best female assassins across the globe and established my own elite Global Cartel of Female Assassins, minimum fee $20 million a hit. In the space of 2 years I’ve become a billionaire and made all my employees multi-millionaires. I only accept women as clients and only men as targets. We kill Presidents, Heads of State, Non-Co Operative Prime Ministers, CEOs of multi billion dollar conglomerates etc. it’s an ultra prestigious enterprise, we’ve never failed to fulfil a contract..In the last 72 hours my best hitwomen have been murdering each of the 00 agents of MI5 across the globe as not to hinder our future operations and just as you are the best of the best in your field 007, so Nicole here is the best of the best in her field”. She is fluent in seven languages, she is the only woman in the world who has a 10th Dan Belt in Judoka, she can strip down and put together again any hand gun in the world in under 45 seconds, she can kill a man from a thousand yards with a high powered telescopic rifle and she has a Masters Degree Summa Cum Laude in Psychology from Harvard, “From the moment I assigned Nicole to this contract 007 you were a dead man walking” “It was Nicole’s plan to first crush you psychologically and sexually undermining your arrogance , before killing you, it was a perfect plan”

“You’re too kind M” Nicole laughed as she rested her suppressed Sig Sauer on her lap, ready to carry out the kill, eagerly anticipating every second to come, in this, her moment of her greatest triumph.
