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!
