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.
Sam Bird – McLaren driver in Formula E – thought Max Verstappen was brilliant in the F1 race in Jeddah.
Bird found Verstappen brilliant during the Jeddah race
“Max Verstappen was brilliant today. Okay, the turn one, two thing aside... I am a papaya, I bleed that colour now. But he was brilliant. But I think that this track in particular lends itself to a) Max Verstappen and his driving style and b) the Red Bull,” Bird said.
Still, the 38-year-old Englishman doesn't think Red Bull will
necessarily come out this strong every weekend from now on. According to him, McLaren
has a better chance in Miami. “ I don't think this is necessarily McLaren's strongest circuit yet they're still on top they're still able to beat Red Bull. The Red Bull has improved granted and Max Verstappen got the maximum out of it but I think we can see more from McLaren at a circuit like Miami.”
