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.
Peter Windsor knows the underlying reason behind Red Bull's Dutch GP woes and Aston Martin's upturn in form: a certain key staff exchange between both teams.
Speaking about the Friday in Zandvoort that saw Aston Martin finish P3 and P4, with Lance Stroll leading Fernando Alonso in FP1, and then the subsequent reaffirmation of their strong form during FP2, Windsor paused for a moment to nudge the Canadian driver's heavy crash in the opening moments of the afternoon Friday session.
"The most dramatic moment of the day was when Lance Stroll crashed into the barriers behind the pits going through the Hunzerug, now a much more banked corner than it used to be."

Windsor believes he knows what the key ingredient in the mix is for Aston Martin, and in Red Bull's case, the lack thereof.
"Bear in mind the Aston Martin looking very good around Zandvoort. Bit of an irony there, Red Bull now without Adrian Newey and Aston Martin with Adrian Newey looking to have the better car certainly in this Dutch race in front of the Verstappen fans," the Australian concluded.
