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.
Andrea Kimi Antonelli is simply unable to get himself out of the slump he's in. Within the first ten minutes of FP2 the Italian Mercedes driver was out of action.
Mercedes team principal and CEO Toto Wolff, had previously stated that with Antonelli the team were experiencing more bad times than good. The painful streak has stretched out at Monza.
The young Italian was making his way around Lesmo 2 on a flier when he lost the rear and found himself beached in his Mercedes W16 in the gravel on the outside of the complex corner.
A similar incident took place at Zandvoort in FP1 where the rookie also beached his Mercedes drive with the session having barely started.
