ROUND #11, RUSSIA, SPRINT RACE: NOBU, YOU MAKE ME SCARED!

After an hard journey among crowded and delayed trains, I'm ready to review with you the Sprint Race…

There was a Cossack starting from pole position, Nikita Mazepin, who's more known for having punched Callum Ilott during the Budapest round of FIA F3 back in 2016 than for his career. But a terrible destiny was behind the corner… Cossack Nikita and Samurai Nobu had a terrible crash, from whom the first one emerged unscathed, but the Japanese Samurai couldn't exit from the car by himself, so he needed to be extricated. Nobu was taken to the local hospital; luckily he doesn't have fractures or injures of any type, but he will spend the night there. Let's cross our fingers for Lou's "snack mate"!

Goodfella Luca carried our Italian flag to the top, and it makes me smile. LouLou has been a bit naughty: he caused a collision and received a penalty of 10 seconds; he ended 14th with a time of 1:57.967.

For the next two months this silly little blog will take an hiatus from commenting races, as the next FIA F2 round, who will also be the last one for this season, will take place in the very last days of November. The 2019 F1, F2 and F3 championships will close their curtains on December 1st: as I was born on December 30th, I will have three anticipated birthday presents! If in these two months there will be some news about our Louis, I won't hesitate to write some posts about them. Maybe I will write some articles about some motorsport-related topics too, not only about Louis…

До свидания Россия!

ROUND #11, RUSSIA, FEATURE RACE: I'M RIGHT WHEN I CALL HIM QUICK NYCK

Good afternoon people! 

Quick Nyck started the Feature Race with a bang, and finally he made it to the title! He deserved it! LouLou had an interesting battle with the Chinese Emperor Guan Yu Zhou and the Young Kaiser Mick, being defeated by the young German; around Lap 8 he obtained the fastest lap and finally, after a marvellous overtaking to Luca the Italian Goodfella… HE ENDED 3RD! It's his first podium in a Feature Race, what a magic moment! And now for your joy and happiness, his time: 1:53.658.

Tomorrow morning I won't be able to follow the Sprint Race, as I'm going to attend an air show in Varenna with my parents; I will review it later in the afternoon.

Have a nice Saturday evening!

ROUND #11, RUSSIA, QUALIFICATIONS: TSAR QUICK NYCK

I'm back! Let's review the Qualifications!

Two Russian Tsars were named Nicholas, so it might be a sign of destiny that the best time in the Free Practice session was scored by Nicholas Latifi and that the Pole Position belongs to Quick Nyck…

Samurai Nobu was 6th for a while, but he ended 10th. LouLou qualified 7th with a time of 1:48.188.

See you tomorrow for the Feature Race!

ROUND #11, RUSSIA, FREE PRACTICE: CONTACT LENSES HAVE GOT THE POWER

Привет, Россия, as Basshunter sings!

There are two Cossacks on the track: Artëm Markelov for Arden, who races with number 22 as 19 has been retired by FIA to show respect towards Anthoine, and my friend Matevos Isaakyan for Charouz.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! RAGHU SCORE THE FIRST TIME OF THE MORNING! *Party hard mode on*

AND HE WAS FOLLOWED BY LOU!!!

Carlin was in the good mood today: Samurai Nobu was 4th and Lou was 5th!

The fastest time was conquered by Mr Contact Lenses, and Louis scored the 6th time: 1:49.775.

See you later for the Qualifications!

ROUND #10, ITALY, SPRINT RACE: RACING FOR ANTHOINE, WINNING FOR ANTHOINE

The Sprint Race has been a bit luckier for Gigi, as he ended 8th with a time of 1:37.525. And the winner is one of Gigi's closest friends, Jack, the Almond-Shaped-Eyed Knight! As Anthoine was part of the Renault Drivers Academy just like Jack, I think he's going to dedicate his win to the young Frenchman.

Samurai Nobu ended 5th and Samurai Marino ended 11th.

See you in 18 days for the Russian round! Now enjoy the Formula One race!

ROUND #10, ITALY, FEATURE RACE: ARIGATOU, MATSUSHITA-SAN!

Good afternoon folks!

The race began badly for Gigi, as he spun in the 2nd lap. He continued the race for 2 more laps, but during the 4th lap he retired. Don't worry, the Sprint Race of tomorrow will be better! 

Last year Samurai Tada won the race, and I was head-over-heels! And this year Samurai Nobu's win made me happier after Gigi's spin. BANZAI!!! #NipponPower

Quick Nyck is 2nd and Luca the Italian Goodfella is 3rd. #ItalianPower

And… SERIOUSLY?!? AM I DREAMING OR AM I AWAKE?!? Raghu is 10th! #IndianPower

See you tomorrow morning! 

ROUND #10, ITALY, QUALIFICATIONS: SO, CALL(UM) ME MAYBE!

Ladies and gentlemen, let's talk about the qualifications!

Both the Japanese samurais, Nobu and Marino, spun, and Tata Calderon caused a red flag as she crashed into the bareers.

Gigi qualified 10th with a time of 1:35.101, Nobu and Marino are respectively 6th and 15th. And the pole position goes to… Call(Me Maybe)um Ilott!

See you tomorrow afternoon for a thrilling Feature Race!

ROUND #10, ITALY, FREE PRACTICE: LUCA MAKES ME PROUD

Ciao a tutti! Welcome to Italy, the land of the sun… no, today there's no sun! 

This weekend we will be #RacingForAnthoine, so we have to do our best to remember him. I also have to announce that Giuliano will take Ralph's place, as the car of Jean's son has been confiscated by Belgian authorities after the tragedy of Spa.

Like last year, our hero Louis will change his name to Gigi. Don't worry: for the next race I will bring him back his real name.

Gigi started from being 10th, then he went all the way up to the 2nd time and finally he scored the 3rd time, 1:33.298. The best time belongs to Luca the Italian Goodfella, and I'm so proud of him! Samurai Nobu is just behind Gigi, and Mari-kun, who's not related to Takuma Sato, is 15th.

See you later for qualifications!
