Pietro is a 19 years old aspiring F1 car designer with a great passion for Motorsport. He started following F1 thanks to his grandfather during the Sebastian Vettel era in Ferrari and then he totally fell in love for the 'circus' after Leclerc's win in Spa. He started working as a journalist during 2024 summer collaborating with F1inGenerale.com and writing for PaddockNews24.com, in which he achieved great results. In May 2025 he attended Emilia Romagna Grand Prix as F2 media accredited and during the summer he joined GPBlog.com looking forward to achieve every organisational, and personal, goal.
After a Friday heralded by several red flags and trips into the gravel, the attention of the whole paddock moves to the FP3. Will McLaren top the last free practice, or will Max Verstappen give the Dutch crowd something to cheer about? Let's discover it together.
Red Bull brought an updated RB21
Yesterday, before the start of the FP1, Red Bull showed to the paddock a new RB21 ready to fight against McLaren and Ferrari. In terms of the frontrunner teams, only Red Bull Racingarrives with a new car part. The Austrian team has longer chord front wing flaps. Because of the expected demands of the Dutch circuit, 'the extended chords on the flap elements' aim to 'increase the load available via angle', the FIA's car presentation document writes.
