Beschreibung

From acclaimed journalist Adam Hay-Nicholls, the very first biography of rising star Charles Leclerc, published to mark the start of the 2023 Formula One season.

Few of the drivers on the F1 grid have the racing pedigree of Charles Leclerc. Widely regarded as one of the sport's hottest prospects, he was crowned F3 and then F2 champion in back-to-back seasons before he made his F1 debut with Sauber in 2018. Now firmly established as Ferrari's great hope, following in the footsteps of legends Alberto Ascari, Niki Lauda and Michael Schumacher, Leclerc has his eyes set on becoming world champion.

Born in Monaco to a family of comparatively modest means, Leclerc remembers playing with toy cars on a friend's balcony as the best drivers in the world whizzed around the Monte Carlo circuit on the streets below. This early experience inspired him to get behind the wheel, encouraged by his father Hervé, and so began his meteoric rise in the sport. Along the way, he lost his father, his godfather and his best friend - all racing drivers - and this gave Leclerc the inner steel to become a winner.

Writer Adam Hay-Nicholls, who has spent much of his career in the Formula One paddock, provides the inside track on this rising star, recounting how he has taken the racing world by storm. And as Leclerc's Ferrari is beginning to fire on all cylinders, will he beat his old rival and adversary Max Verstappen to the world title?

    Volleyball is a dynamic and fast-paced sport that has captivated players and fans worldwide. Originally invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan, the game was designed as a less physically demanding alternative to basketball. Over time, volleyball evolved into a highly strategic and physically intense sport played both recreationally and competitively across the globe. 
    The objective of volleyball is simple—two teams compete to score points by sending the ball over the net and landing it in the opposing team's court. Each team has six players on the court, and they must work together to execute plays within three touches: a pass, a set, and an attack. This structure makes teamwork and communication essential elements of the game. 
    Understanding the basic rules and regulations is crucial for new players. Matches are typically played in a best-of-five set format, with each set requiring a team to reach 25 points with at least a two-point lead. The fifth set, if needed, is played to 15 points. Rally scoring is used, meaning a point is awarded on every serve, regardless of which team served. Faults, such as carrying the ball, stepping over the service line, or touching the net, result in points for the opposing team.
