CARA SPA FRANCORCHAMPS

Cara Spa, E' sempre bello incontrarti dopo un anno di distacco. Il mondiale di F1 è iniziato da un bel po', abbiamo già salutato piste storiche e fatto i conti con tracciati indigesti a molti. Ed ora eccoti davanti a noi in tutta la tua bellezza, in tutta la tua leggenda, in tutta la tua maestria e potenza. Sei così magnetica, tanto pericolosa quanto irresistibile, tanto che almeno io, (posso

SCARAMANZIA IN FORMULA 1

Tale è la superstizione: imperfetta conoscenza e desideri impastati con angoscia, paura e speranzacompresse assieme, in parti uguali.(Chistopher Burney) Scaramanzia e superstizione esistono ancora oggi.C’è qualcuno (mi rivolgo anche a chi sta leggendo questo articolo) che sicuramente ha un portafortuna nel portafoglio o al collo, sono sicura che molto di voi vedono con timore il venerdì 17.Spesso per eliminare possibili sciagure evitiamo determinati posti e viviamo la vita con convinzioni assurde

We don’t love anymore, like we used to do

We don’t love anymore, like we used to do 20 years ago. The love from 20 years ago I had for you became nothing more than a vague memory. A vague memory from the days V10s went mental on the circuits. The days Porsche attached two V6 engines with a Coca-Cola can. Yapping they build a brand-new V12 engine which Footwork would fall in love with eventually. The years that

My f1 hunger is gone, 2022 is my last season

What a season 2022 was. In many aspects, this was the changing season for the Formula One. Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes lost their dominance on the grid for the coming years. GOAT Latifi and Mick Schumacher failed to impress and have to disappear from the grid. While Sebastian Vettel waved goodbye. The other side, that changed the sport for good, is dark and toxic. It is horrific to see, and

Energy drinks in the Formula 1

You can’t imagine it now though there was a time in the Formula One there weren’t any energy drinks in the Formula One. These started to appear in the Formula one in the early 1990s. I wouldn’t take long before the energy drink companies would appear in the Formula One. Ready to support the teams. The best example of course is Red bull with their own two teams in the

Groeten uit Zandvoort Day 1

Groeten uit Zandvoort! For those who don’t read Dutch it means “Greetings from Zandvoort”. This weekend is the Historical Grand Prix weekend on Circuit Zandvoort. A weekend full of historical autosport. Heaven if you ask me, others may describe it as pure ear porn. Any way here is a little blog post about the first day we were at the circuits for the best Autosport event in the Netherlands. The

Oh the 90s what ever happened with you?

Could be i posted a similar blog before could be i did not. Anyway, I just felt the need to post this blog post. Just for the sake of it, to have a little trip down to memory lane. When the Formula One seemed to be an amazing sport. When the fans seemed not toxic, when Jos Verstappen was our national hero. Yeah the good old 90s. Who doesn’t remember

How May 1994 changed the Formula 1 forever

It’s 28 years ago that we lost Ronald Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna in Imola. However, many seem to forget that May 1994 was a horrible month for the autosport, more terrible accidents happened. It would change the autosport and especially the Formula one permanently. The focus would shift mostly towards new safety measures to be taken. Let me take you back for a couple of minutes into a period that

How about non-championship races for youngsters?

Who remembers the non-championship races from the past? When unknown and youngsters could experience the Formula One without the pressure to perform on your top and scoring points. Wouldn’t be much better to organise a couple of non-championship races for the young and talented, perhaps only wealthy, drivers? I mean if you look at the grid right now with just ten teams filled with a field of drivers that mostly

I lost connection with today’s Formula One

Hey there, it has been a while since i posted an article on my website. You have to agree a lot has happened since my last post the 16th of February. Some Russian asshole provoked a useless war, which he is losing. Basically the world became a shithole. Normally I would find my safe haven in the Formula One in these disturbing times. However, I lost connection with today’s Formula
