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.
Following Lance Stroll and Isack Hadjar's demise from FP2 for the Dutch Grand Prix, this time it was Alexander Albon's number up.
Like Max Verstappen, the Thai driver missed his braking spot and shot past Turn 1 at Zandvoort.
Albon hits the wall and beaches his Williams car
However, unlike the Dutchman, Albon was not able to stop the car in time to avoid hitting the wall.
As a result, the Williams FW47 suffered damage to its front wing.

Despite Albon's ability to keep the car going, and putting it in reverse, his efforts would be futile as the car became beached in the gravel, effectively ending his session ahead of time, joining Lance Stroll, Isack Hadjar and Andrea Kimi Antonelli on the list of drivers who fell to the unforgiving nature of Circuit Zandvoort.
