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.
Lando Norris' performance in Jeddah has not earned him praise, certainly not from former F1 driver and team principal, Christijan Albers who sees how Lewis Hamilton 'embarrassed' the McLaren driver out of the podium
'Norris embarrassed out of podium by Hamilton'
DRS games were once again seen in Saudi Arabia. Where in 2022 it was Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc starring in a strategic DRS battle, this time it was Norris and Hamilton.
“The first time should already be embarrassing enough, but to have it happen again a second time… It just cost a lot of time. This also caused him to lose connection with Leclerc, and that basically cost him a podium place.”
But Albers sees McLaren not capitalising on their advantage. “McLaren fails to assert their dominance. Just make sure everything is organized well from A to Z. Make sure your strategy people are on it, ensure your engineers are on top of it, and most importantly, make sure your drivers are on top of it. And here we’ve just seen several examples where it takes too long.”
