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.
Lewis Hamilton has had yet another tough F1 weekend. The Briton crashing out of the Dutch Grand Prix, a 'tragic' sighting believes the former F1 driver and current analyst, Ralf Schumacher, that has nothing to do with age.
Lewis Hamilton was making his way through turns 7, 8, and 9 when he urged Ferrari to consider an undercut to leapfrog the drivers ahead, to which Ferrari replied with a 'we're on it' answer.
On the very next lap, the cameras turned their attention back to the seven-time world champion to reveal his stricken SF-25 parked in the wall with its front right suspension torn off.
Schumacher, speaking on Sky after the race, admitted to being confused by Hamilton's current error-prone form and described the nature of the root cause of the Brit's issues as a self-originated one.
"I'm slowly getting a bit at a loss, because he can do it on the one hand, but is apparently under immense pressure, puts himself under pressure."

'I don't know how he would be advised to continue at Ferrari'
In Schumacher's mind, the speed is still there, in Hamilton's hands and feet. But something has got to give.
"[It is] tragic at the moment to see him like this. Although the speed is still there, but there's just too much happening around it."
"If something doesn't happen soon, I don't know how he would be better advised, to continue there or whatever."
