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.
It's clear that Aston Martin is not having the easiest start to their 2025 campaign. Were the team hoping for more before coming to Australia? Are they having correlation issues? Who knows. What is clear is that their lead driver, Fernando Alonso has had enough of post-practice session questions.
Asked what he had learned following FP2, Alonso put his foot down. "Nothing, and if I learn something, I will not tell you," said the Spaniard to F1 TV, categorically.
“We come here because it’s mandatory, but there is nothing really to talk about. We just jump out of the car and as usual," said a clear Alonso, before warning all journalists. "It will be 24 Fridays like now that you can ask anything, I will not answer."

When pressed further for comments on how the session had gone, he emphasised that the information gathered was not of public use. "I need to review everything now with my team and privately discuss what we did today."

After that, he did however share some conclusions following FP2. "We did laps. The car goes. Engine is alive. Brakes are okay. Gearbox is changing gears up and down," concluded the two-time world champion.
