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.
Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton failed to threaten the top of the order in qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix, albeit for very different reasons. Nevertheless the Dutchman expects the 7-time world champion to come through the field tomorrow.
Speaking to the likes of GPblog after the qualifying session in Hungary, which was marred by the lack of grip issues that struck the RB21 at the Hungaroring Verstappen didn't look kindly on his chances during Sunday's race
"I mean there may be a few cars in front of me that I can maybe battle with a little bit," he said.

His 2021 title rival, Hamilton, tallied yet another dissappointing qualifying session to his name, which led the Briton to brand himself as 'useless'.
Nevertheless Verstappen expects Hamilton to be on the charge during the Hungarian Grand Prix.
"Of course also Lewis is still a bit further down the road which I think he shouldn't be there right?. So he will come through a bit."
