A filmmaker with a soft spot for Ronnie Peterson, Gilles Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen and above all, Tazio Nuvolari and Ayrton Senna, is also a diehard Formula One fan since the age of 4 (mid-90's). An avid researcher of the past of Grand Prix Racing since before it was even named F1, and with a thirst for knowledge of the ins and outs of the actuality of the sport, as well as for the technical aspects that define it, is a member of GPblog since 2023, where he has put his love of racing to good use.
Charles Leclerc's and Fernando Alonso's luck does not change at Imola with both drivers' races ruined by the circumstances that took place during the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
Alonso and Leclerc the 'unluckiest' drivers
His race was indeed ruined after Aston Martin decided not to pit their cars for fresh tyres during the VSC triggered by Esteban Ocon's DNF. The Spaniard went backwards and out of the points despite having a quick enough car to be in the points.
Fernando Alonso bemoaned his luck as he stated over the radio: "Yeah it's going to be torture. It's a wreck. I'm the unluckiest driver in the **** world!"
Charles Leclerc also wondered if, after a superb drive, he would even be able to finish in the points as he had no tyres available to ditch his worn rubber during the Safety Car triggered by Antonelli.

During the 2023 Brazilian Grand Prix Leclerc complained about his fortune after a reliability issue forced him into an incident and subsequently into retirement infamously stating on the radio: “Why the **** am I so unlucky, why the **** am I so unlucky?”
