ROUND #10, ITALY, QUALIFICATIONS: THINGS ARE GETTING SERIOUS

Buon pomeriggio amici miei! Let's review together these F2 qualifications. Our fantastic Gigi is 10th with 1:32.407... not bad! In the races he will do his best to make me happy. It would be super if Gigi will win in Monza! 
And Roy, who is a great lover of Italy and the Monza circuit too, is only 15th.  The pole position is for George Russell, the championship leader.
A domani!

ROUND #10: ITALY, FREE PRACTICE: GIGI'S STRANGE SESSION

Ciao a tutti ragazzi! This race is very important to me. Not only because I'm Italian, it's also because it's held close to my old home, in which I lived with my mother until 2002, before joining my dad in Abbadia Lariana, and in which my maternal grandparents still live. I remember that when the Grand Prix was underway, the wind used to bring the sound of engines to our open windows.
Only for this weekend, Louis will change his name to Gigi, as Gigi is an Italian hypocoristic for the name Luigi, the Italian version of Louis. Monza is his favourite circuit, he knows it very well. And after this long prologue, let's talk about the free practice session. Gigi did a good job for most of the time, he has always been among the first positions and topped the group for a while too! Unluckily he fell down to 16th position, but when finally he managed to climb the classification until 8th place, he fell down again to 13th. He ended with a time of 1:35.216. The best time of the session belongs to Sergio Sette Camara.
See you in some hours, I will talk you about the qualifications! Ciao!

ROUND #9, BELGIUM, SPRINT RACE: SPA IS ALWAYS TOUGH!

And the Spa Sprint Race goes to archive, too. The winner is the Italo-Canadian Nicholas Latifi, followed by Quick Nyck and Lando "Chuck" Norris.
King Louis had a sensible improvement, going from the 18th place in yesterday's race to the 13th place today. His time is 2:12.536.
His almond-shaped eyed friend Jack gains a point, as he arrived 10th. And the Israeli knight Roy Nissany is just behind Louis. By the way, Nissatraz is one of my favourite yaoi ships.
The next race weekend will be held in Monza, my home track! And on Wednesday evening I will attend the Nazionale Piloti charity match in Sesto San Giovanni, near Milan. I will write a review for it too! 
Bye bye! See you next week!

ROUND #9, BELGIUM, FEATURE RACE: UPS & DOWNS

Good afternoon. I'm relaxing on my bed in a rainy Saturday afternoon. Roy Nissany would call it "Shabbat"
What a race it has been! Louis had several ups and downs. He started 13th, went down to 19th position, and then he became 7th, then 10t, 17th... I was a bit creeped for this, as in Italy 17 is considered an unlucky number, even though I'm not so much superstitious... but the worst thing happened on lap 24, when Louis and his teammate Antonio had a collision... yes, you read correctly, a collision between teammates! However, this will be investigated by race direction. And Louis ended the race in the last position, 18th, with a time of 2:06.099.
If Louis was not so lucky, his snack mate can be happy for his 10th position, which means that he gains his first F2 point! Good job, Roy!
And Nyck De Vries is having a perfect weekend, because after being the best in FP and gaining the pole position... he takes a fantastic win!
Vicky comes back tomorrow for the second race! Have a nice Saturday evening!

ROUND #9, BELGIUM, QUALIFICATIONS: A LITTLE IMPROVEMENT

Now I'm ready to give you a review of qualifications.
Nyck de Vries took the pole position after being the fastest in free practices. It's a lucky weekend for him so far!
Louis qualified with the 9th time of 1:57.183, and I'm happy to see that Roy improved too: he went from 20th and last to 17th.
See you tomorrow for the Feature Race, which will be held on 16:55!

ROUND #9, BELGIUM, FREE PRACTICES: LET'S HEAD BACK

Salut à tous! The blog's activities are finally back. If you follow me on Instagram, you surely have seen my holiday pics all around the former Austro-Hungarian Empire... but now it's over with historical landmarks and let's head back to the present.
There's someone new among the drivers: Dorian Boccolacci, who takes Roberto Merhi's place at MP Motorsport.
The best time in free practice has been set by Nyck De Vries, Louis is only 13th with 1:59.448 and 16 laps under his belt. Roy is still the last one of the group, I'm sorry for him.
À bientôt! See you later for qualifications!
