ROUND #8, HUNGARY, SPRINT RACE: THE HERO OF BUDAPEST

Good afternoon! I write my review of the Sprint Race a bit late, because I've been eating out with my family. I managed to see a piece of the race in a shopping center.
As I predicted, LouLou went from 17th to 9th; for sure he is the Driver of the Day! And, as usual, I write his time: 1:34.435.
And the winner is... ALEX ALBON, THE THAI MASSAGER! My inner Italian is happy for the second place obtained by Luca Ghiotto...
And now there will be some weeks of summer break. On August 4th I'm leaving for Linz, and then I will visit Wien, Bratislava and Budapest. I hope it will be a pleasant holiday. I don't know where Louis will go...
And after the break it will be time for Spa-Francorchamps... the legendary Spa... and then... surprise! Stay tuned!

ROUND #8, HUNGARY, FEATURE RACE: LOUIS IS 17TH AND NYCK TAKES THE WIN

Good afternoon! In Abbadia Lariana the weather is rainy. In Italy, the number 17 is considered an unlucky number, so you can imagine that I laughed when I saw that Louis ended his race in 17th position. His time: 1:32.972. But at least Roy had a better position than Louis' one on his "home" track. My hero had some damages on his car and spent a lot of time in the pits. Your luck will be better tomorrow, baby!
Nyck won the race, and his brother-in-law, Sir George, failed to race due to engine troubles.
Tomorrow I will write my article about the Sprint Race late in the afternoon, because I will eat out with my parents. 
See ya!

ROUND #8, HUNGARY, QUALIFICATIONS - PLOT-TWIST

Vicky is back.
My grandma would be so happy to know that the handsome Sergio Sette Camara made it to pole position. Firstly I thought that the first place on the grid would have been for Jack, the Anglo-Korean Prince, but there was this plot twist...
Knight Louis is 10th, with a time of 1:28.032. Do you bet tomorrow he will overtake all the other drivers and will make it to the podium?
Roy, Louis' break mate, who resides in Budapest, is only 16th.
See you tomorrow for the Feature Race!

ROUND #8, HUNGARY, FREE PRACTICE: LOUIS LEADER... IN THE BEGINNING

Good afternoon guys! Welcome to the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend, the "home" Grand Prix for Roy Nissany, Louis' "snack mate".
The practice session has been stopped due to Tadasuke "Samurai" Makino's crash; the best time was scored by Sir George.
At the beginning Arjun "Mahraja" Maini was the leader on the track, but Knight Louis took his place, and then ended in 13th position with a time of 1:29.862.
See you later for qualifications!

MY FIRST LITTLE BIG LOVE - #2: THAT'S TRUE LOVE

The following days were tough for me. I was struggling to concentrate myself on school and homework. My teachers and classmates had noticed that my mind "was up in space" and "I needed to come back to the Earth", as Avril Lavigne sang in "Sk8er Boy".
It was stronger than me. Israel had a big impact on me, or better, a charming Israeli boy had stolen my heart. For me this was incredible.
One night I was watching the sky full of stars from my bedroom's window, when a night butterfly came across me. I blew a kiss and I asked her: "Please, carry it all the way to Israel, it's for a boy named Roy" And she flew away. After that, I grabbed my secret diary and I drew a big red heart pierced by an arrow. In that heart I wrote two initals... J + R.
My mum had understood that something was not as it had to be, too. "What's up, darling? I hope you won't get offended, but I noticed that since we came back from Israel you changed a lot" "And how can I explain it to you, mom?" "It seems more like an answer from a teenager, not a child" "I'm not sure if I can talk about it to you" "Okay, I respect your decision" But then... I bursted into tears! "For the heaven's sake, why are you crying, Janet?" "I'm... I'm in love!" "In love?" "Yes, with Roy... Chanoch Nissany's son! Do you remember him?" "Yes, I do... he was very nice to you. You danced together, too!" "I have to find a system to see him again" "It's possible!" "And how?" "You will come to races with me, maybe he will be there with his father" I was really excited to the idea to see him again.
My dreams about Roy had various settings. Mostly I used to see him as a knight who rescued me from terrible dangers, or sometimes I had dreams in which he was wearing a kippah. I was in love for the first time and I was so excited and scared at the same time. Was I too young for saying I was "in love"? Maybe yes. Or maybe not. Once the school psychologist told that Cupid's Arrow can hit children too. Obviously it's not the kind of love experienced by adults, but it's a magical feeling which makes you happy.
That night at the Hilton Hotel my mum took a picture of Roy and me while we were hugging before going to dance. I printed it and I used to keep it among my diary's pages. Whenever I looked at it, for me it was like going back to the best evening of my life. It was therapeutic for me.

MY FIRST LITTLE BIG LOVE - #1: IT HAPPENED AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE

This is not a story about Louis. But it's motorsport-themed, so I decided to post it. The male main character is Roy Nissany, one of Louis' closest friends.

"Janet! It's late, we will lose the plane!" "Yes mum, I'm coming!"
This was the conversation I had with my mum early in the morning of February 1st 2005. We were about to leave for Tel Aviv, where the following day we would have attended the press conference announcing Chanoch Nissany as Minardi's reserve driver.
When we arrived in the "Mediterranean Miami", as many people nickname it, I felt really happy. For me it was love at first sight. The beaches, the Bauhaus architectures, the alleys of the old town... I couldn't imagine that the following day I would have experienced another kind of love. A different kind of love.
The alarm rang early in the morning. We woke up. After breakfast we arrived at the Hilton Hotel in which the press conference was scheduled. We sat down just in front of Chanoch. He was such a nice man. I liked him, because although he wasn't a professional racing driver, he seemed to be a good person. 
At the end of the press conference, we shaked our hands. "My name is Theresa and I come from England. She is Janet, my daughter" "Nice to meet you both! How old are you, Janet?" "I'm 8!" "Well, I have a son named Roy, he's a bit older than you, as he turned 10 last November"
And finally it happened. I noticed a blonde woman with a dark-haired and dark-skinned young boy by her side. She surely wasn't Israeli. Chanoch explained us: "She is my French wife, Michelle. And he is Roy, our boy" 
There was something charming about Roy. He greeted me kissing my hand, as a real gentleman. Just like in a beautiful dream, I was astonished by his black hair, his olive skin and his dark eyes. "Oh my God! He's so handsome!" was my only thought in that moment.
My mum surely had noticed this, I heard her whispering in my ear: "Is everything okay, darling?" "Yes, it is" I lied. I couldn't help it. A Cupid's Arrow had struck my heart. 
"This evening there will be a dancing night. Will you attend it?" Chanoch announced. "I'm sorry, but I'm alone... I will sit down watching other people dancing" was mum's answer. 
At the beginning I was sitting next to her, too. But suddenly Roy came there and proposed me in a perfect French: "Voulez-vous danser, Mademoiselle Janet?" "Oui, garçon" My mum agreed, so Roy began to spin me around the hall on the notes of Astor Piazzolla's "Libertango". He was very good at dancing, I was proud of having him as my knight for that night.
When I fell asleep, I had a dream about Roy and me walking in a Japanese-styled botanic garden.

ROUND #7, GREAT BRITAIN, SPRINT RACE: ON THE SAME WAVE-LENGTH

What a Sprint Race! Maximilian Günther took the win, followed by Sir George and Sir Lando! I'm wondering if Maxi reminds me...
Louis ended in 5th position with a time of 1:47.292, and he had fights with both the English Sirs... unluckily Antonio had a collision with Lando and retired from the race. 
This was another unlucky race for Jack, who ended in 12th position, and Roy, who's 15th again...
As you know, this year Formula 2 and GP3 Series won't race in Germany, so see you in 19 days for the Hungarian round, Roy's home round!

ROUND #7, GREAT BRITAIN, FEATURE RACE: CONFIRMATION

While I'm watching the final minutes of the FIFA World Cup match, I write this article about Louis' Feature Race. He confirms himself in 4th postion, scoring a time of 1:46.897. Charouz Racing System shows that can fight for the podium, as their other driver Antonio Fuoco is on the third step of the podium.
The race winner is Alex Albon, the Thai massager, and the runner-up is Sir George Russell.
Jack is only 13th, and I'm proud of Roy Nissany who went from last to 15th. As I thought he wouldn't have taken part to the race, he failed to observe Shabbat!
See you tomorrow for the Sprint Race, in which Louis will start in 5th position!

ROUND #7, GREAT BRITAIN, QUALIFICATIONS: SILVE(R)STONE IS A LUCKY PLACE

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!
PRINCE LOUIS QUALIFIED IN THE 4TH POSITION!!!!!!!
Wait... if I'm so happy about his 4th position, if he obtained a pole position I would have fainted... Interesting to notice he completed only 8 laps, and his time is 1:40.190.
His squire Antonio is 3rd, that's cool, too! Jack is 12th... and unluckily Roy failed to qualify for the race.
Talking about the pole position, it belongs to Sir George.
See you tomorrow in Vicky SilveStone!

ROUND #7, GREAT BRITAIN, FREE PRACTICE: WELCOME TO SILVE(R)STONE!

This weekend we have my personal Grand Prix. Well, the Vicky SilveStone Grand Prix. 
In the F2 free practice my hero completed 19 laps and scored the 9th time of 1:41.677. I'm sure that during this round he will be back to the positions he deserves!
For Jack this is the home race: he is 5th, and my British readers and friends will be happy to know that Sir George scored the best time, followed by Alex the Thai massager and Lando, one of the heroes of "Racing To The Future"
And talking about Roy Nissany, the charming Israeli boy, he's only 16th. I have to say he's not so lucky this year... 
After watching the FIFA World Cup match, I will write a review of qualifications. 
Greetings from (Vicky) Silve(r)stone!

ROUND #6, AUSTRIA, SPRINT RACE: VICKY IS NOT PAUL THE OCTOPUS

Okay. Definitely I'm not Paul the Octopus. 
Louis retired from the Sprint Race after a contact with Sean Gelael in pitlane during Lap 25. The incident is actually under investigation.
Roy and Jack are respectively on 17th and 18th. Such a terrible weekend for them too...
Artëm Markelov took the win, followed by Sir Russell and SSC.
Let's hope for a better race for Louis and friends in Hungary! I wrote Hungary as this year F2 and GP3 won't race in Germany.
Stay tuned on the blog for the following chapters of "Racing To The Future"!
