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.
Following a costly unsafe release that saw Max Verstappen handed a 10 second time penalty which got him out of the point scoring positions, Red Bull Racing boss, Christian Horner minces words on the accident.
The unsafe release resulted in Verstappen collecting bystander Andrea Kimi Antonelli, who couldn't make his pitstop and had to go around for another lap losing valuable time. In the end all Verstappen got from the chaotic Miami sprint was a ten seocnd penalty which saw him finish down in P17.
'Human error' for Red Bull
Ever the eloquent, Horner this time, is short on words on Sky Sports when speaking about the incident. "Yeah, it's a human error. We'll learn from it. Thank you."
The incident derailed the rather grey race Verstappen had been doing up until then. Instead of a potential P3 finish, the Dutchman ended up not scoring points and dropping a further 8 points to Lando Norris in the standings.
