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.
Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri have collided in Canada leaving Norris out of the race.
Norris and Piastri were locked in a close quarter battle for P4 with none of them yielding an inch.
The Briton went for a move up the inside at the hairpin, but the Australian saw it coming. As they made their way down the backstraight, Piastri braked later at the final chicane and managed to keep the position.

Down the main straight then, chaos ensued. Piastri took the inside line to defend from Norris, but the Briton was not deterred and got too close to the wall, biting the grass which caused him to lose control of his MCL39 colliding with his teammate and then crashing into the wall, effectively ending his race.
Norris then took to the radio to accept full blame for the crash: "I'm sorry. All my bad. All my fault. Stupid from me."
