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.
Charles Leclerc, after having skipped media day at Imola yesterday, has arrived to the track today. Is he fit to race, though?
Where recently Ferrari had disclosed Leclerc was not feeling well enough to take part in media day, Ferrari were clear that they expected him at the track on Friday - today.
Leclerc has since made his first appearance in the paddock at Imola and all seems to be well now with the Ferrari driver.

Ferrari are looking to have a strong 'home race' outing
Ferrari's been anything but consistent this season as the Scuderia are yet to understand fully the intricacies of their SF-25 car, thus rendering them unable to extract the full performance from it.
For Imola, however, the Italians have brought a few upgrades that should help them mitigate their car's weaknesses. Will Leclerc be able to get the most out of them this weekend? It's still to be confirmed, but there are no indications to believe otherwise.
