Updated: 16:23, 31 Aug 2025

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 has retired from the Dutch Grand Prix having undergone contact at the same corner his teammate Lewis Hamilton crashed out in.

Leclerc was coming out of the pits having covered off Antonelli's undercut attempt.

However, the Italian's tyres were already warm, the Monegasque's were still cool. As they both battled for position they headed close into Turn 3.

On the exit, Leclerc got tapped by Antonelli who understeered into the Ferrari.

After that Leclerc was only a passenger and his car spun around, its nose was ripped off upon contact with the barrier as his rear left was punctured by the contact.

Antonelli was then handed a 10-second penalty for the incident, ruining his chances of attaining a good result at Circuit Zandvoort, stretching his complicated Mercedes run further.
