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 is currently in the lead of the Miami Sprint race, after wrestling P1 from the Mercedes rookie, Andrea Kimi Antonelli.

The Australian driver got a better start and took the inside line to overtake Antonelli, who tried to fight the move as long as he could.

As the pair made it to Turn 1, Antonelli forced a defense on Piastri's move, but to no avail. The Australian kept his position and got his elbows out, pushing Antonelli wide at the exit of Turn 1.
