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.
Oscar Piastri has been found to be predominantly at fault for the Turn 1 crash with Andrea Kimi Antonelli, which resulted in Charles Leclerc's DNF.
As the race was restarted, following the neutralisation triggered by Gabriel Bortoleto's lap 1 crash with Lance Stroll, the field roared into Turn 1 with Lando Norris completing yet another effective restart.
Much to the Monegasque driver's dismay, Piastri went for a risky move up the inside of Antonelli that resulted in contact, which collected innocent bystander Leclerc.
The Stewards having analysed the incident have seen fit to issue Piastri a 10 second time penalty.
Max Verstappen currently sits P4, having completed a safety car pitstop.
