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.

Antonelli emerged from his stricken Mercedes, the full safety car came out, and McLaren called Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris in, as Red Bull did the same with Verstappen.
As virtually every other driver except for Esteban Ocon on mediums, had put on softs, Red Bull had donned Hards on Verstappen's car, which prompted a disconcerted Verstappen to hammer on about the tyre choice.
