2019 PRE-SEASONAL TESTING, DAY 3: THE KNIGHT VS. THE PRINCE

The last day of testing gave us an huge surprise. Yes, Mick Schumacher ended the day on the top of the classification! "Quick Mick" for another time is showing us that he's not only "Michael's son", but he's showing us that he's a good, fast driver. Obviously there will always be somebody who will compare him to his legendary father. In the morning our heroes, the Swiss Knight Louis and the Almond-Shaped Eyed Prince Charming Jack, had an epic battle with the Kaiser's son, an epic battle which ended with Jack 2nd and Louis 3rd; Louis' time was 1:24.247.

In the afternoon, Louis ended 4th with a time of 1:27.880.

And that's it. The first session of testing of the 2019 season is done and dusted. The next one, as well as the last one before the beginning of the season, is scheduled to be in Barcelona on 5-6-7 March. I will be there to write articles about it, of course.

Kisses! Or better, besitos!

2019 PRE-SEASONAL TESTING, DAY 2: BITTERSWEET DAY

¡Hola amigos! Vicky is back and will tell you about the second day of testing. 

Nyck topped the chart again in the morning, making me sure that he's the man to watch this season, while our soft kitty Lou ended in 4th position with a time of 1:24.803 after an epic battle against Mick Schumacher, the Kaiser's son. My Italian fellow Luca Ghiotto improved throughout the session, ending with a time close to Nyck's one.

In the afternoon, the classification was topped by Dorian Boccolacci, followed by another French-Italian driver, Giuliano Alesi! Louis had some troubles and ended 16th with a time of 1:29.597. Keep on fighting, baby.

See you tomorrow for the last day of testing!

2019 PRE-SEASONAL TESTING, DAY 1: A PAGE OF HISTORY HAS BEEN WRITTEN

Hola, companeros! Here it's your dear Vicky! In these days I will review with you the pre-seasonal tests which are underway in Jerez.

After the winter hiatus, the drivers are happy to be back on the track, and among them there is obviously our hero, Louis Charles Hubert Delétraz! Before starting with the summary of what happened today, I'm glad to say that Tatiana Calderon wrote a little page of history: the Colombian is the first woman to race in FIA F2 since its inception back in 2005, when it was still named GP2 Series.

Under a warm Spanish sun, Nyck de Vries scored the best time in both the sessions, and our Knight Louis for a while in the morning topped the classification with a time of 1:26.217. In the afternoon, the Swiss ace was the first to be back to the track, and ended in 6th position with a time of 1:26.512.

Among the rookies there is another of my favourite drivers: he's none other than Giuliano Ryu Alesi, the half-blooded son of Jean Alesi. By the way... does somebody know that "Jean Alesi" is a nom de plume? His real name is Giovanni Roberto Alesi, I discovered it when I was 12 and I was shocked! 

See you tomorrow for the second day of testing! Hasta la vista!

BECAUSE INSTAGRAM STORIES ARE A GOLD MINE

Good morning petrolheads! The winter session of university exams is over, so now I have some time to write again about my little sweet Louis... 

Yesterday Louis posted an Instagram story from which I saw that he was going to London. Today I saw from another story that he made his seat for the 2019 FIA F2 season! As I told you, he will race with Carlin, one of the most famous and successful teams in junior formulæ. And as a Japan lover, I'm so happy to see that his teammate will be Nobuharu Matsushita, who comes back to Europe after a season in Super Formula!
