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.
Although the F1 world is hectic for the most part of the year, even they get a time off during Christmas, and this is what the drivers are up to during the holiday season.
What are Verstappen, Leclerc and co. up to on Christmas Eve?
George Russell put on his skiis, Charles Leclerc picked up his golf clubs, Max Verstappen raced fast cars at Portimão and Nico Hulkenberg dressed up as Santa Claus. This is how the F1 grid is celebrating Christmas in 2024.
