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.
During SQ1 Yuki Tsunoda Found himself unable to advance to the next part of the qualifying session. However, it wasn't due to a poor performance by the Japanese driver, but rather to a misscomunication at Red Bull Racing.
Tsunoda, as he was starting his lap, found teammate Max Verstappen ahead, and braked to let the Dutchman go. Nevertheless, Verstappen then bolted to the pits.
As Tsunoda tried to get on with it, he found himself with not enough time to get across the flag and improve on his lap time, thus falling in SQ1.
George Russell led the session ahead of teammate Andrea Kimi Antonelli with Verstappen placing P7 even after bailing on his lap.
