Mario Balotelli, banned from go karting, takes Ferrari on track instead

Mario Balotelli never ceases to entertain. It’s been well documented that he loves go karts, but he is forbidden to do so in his contract with AC Milan. His solution? Take his $300,000 Ferrari (not pictured) on the go kart track instead, with former girlfriend Fanny Neguesha nowhere to be seen.

Track owner Joe Ghiringhelli:

“Mario loves coming here but he’s not allowed to race the karts because of his AC Milan contract - they are worried he may injure himself.”

“We let him take his new Ferrari out on the track and he was roaring around laughing and having fun. Fanny was no where to be seen but as we all know Mario is a bit of a shooter and won’t be too worried about her, he will be with someone new before you know it.”

With 11 goals in 11 games with AC Milan, maybe it’s best to just let Balotelli be Balotelli.

Mario Balotelli’s new boots

Looks like Mario Balotelli’s got some new boots. These custom made kicks come courtesy of Portuguese artist Mr.Dheo. If his $240,000 camouflage-wrapped Bentley wasn’t a big enough hint that he likes the camo, these certainly get the point across.

It remains to be seen whether he’ll don them for AC Milan’s match this weekend, here’s hoping he does, but these boots will do anything but blend in.

Mario Balotelli carried his fine form since returning to AC Milan over to Italy’s national team, scoring this fine strike in a friendly match against Brazil! The score tied the game between the two world powers at 2-2, which is how it ended.

Can anyone stop Super Mario at the moment? Doesn’t look like it.

After his playing days are over, it seems that Andrea Pirlo already has an excellent second career lined up.

The Juventus star midfielder owns a vineyard in Northern Italy.

In the video above, Pirlo talks about his passion for wine, and that after his career he plans on spending more time at the vineyard. His lovely mother, Livia, also makes an appearance and talks about her son’s lifelong love of the delicious drink — accompanied by adorable pictures of him as a boy.

If the wine produced at Pirlo’s vineyard is even half as magnificent as his play in the midfield, we’re definitely going to need a bottle. Or two.
