ROUND #12, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, FEATURE RACE: THE FIRST POSITIONS ARE THE PLACES TO BE

In the afternoon of the last day of November I’m following the last Feature Race of this FIA F2 season, a season marred by the tragic death of Anthoine Hubert. Today it’s been three months since that horrible late afternoon. However, we have to go on to honour his memory. And Lou started the race in the best possible way, taking the lead on the track of the country in which he’s loved most! Big applauses for Raghu too, who set the fastest lap! During Lap 4, Lou passed the leadership to Samurai Nobu, and started to have some troubles with his supersoft tyres.

After some scaramouches with Cossack Nikita and the new entry Christian Lundgaard, who by the way is the former boyfriend of the female racing driver Marta Garcia, Lou grabbed the 5th place.

Finally, Lou tried to overtake the Chinese Emperor Guan Yu Zhou to be able to climb the podium, but he failed and ended the race in 4th position with a time of 2:02.388. Samurai Nobu had to surrender to the attacks of the handsome Sergio, who won the race. 

See you tomorrow for the final act! Have a good Saturday night!

ROUND #12, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, QUALIFICATIONS: THINGS ARE EASY WHEN YOU’RE BIG IN UAE

I write this article a bit late, as I was attending a premiation in the company my dad works for.

Lou opened the dances on the track, leading the group at the beginning of the qualifications. He remained steadily in the highest positions, fighting with Call(um) Me Maybe Ilott and the poleman-to-be, Sergio the Handsome Brazilian. He grabbed the 3rd position with a time of 1:49.931. He loves the Abu Dhabi Circuit, the people in the UAE love him and that helps him a lot. That gives me an assist to explain you why I choose that title for this article: it’s the adaptment of a sentence from the song “Big In Japan” by the German band Alphaville, “things are easy when you’re big in Japan”, in which I replaced Japan with UAE. Behind him there’s Samurai Nobu, recently nominated by Lou “the best teammate I’ve ever had”

See you tomorrow for the Feature Race! 

ROUND #12, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, FREE PRACTICE: LOU, THE SHEIKH’S DRIVER

Ladies and gentlemen, this is my first blog post from my new iPad, as well as the last one of this FIA F2 season! Let’s review the Free Practice…

As you know, Lou is very popular in Middle Eastern countries, so the Abu Dhabi round is like an home round to him. He has such many fans there, and many of the readers of this little blog are from that region. And firstly he didn’t disappoint them: he began the session with a bang! Unfortunately for him and for his Middle Eastern fans, he got fooled by Mr Contact Lenses, who next year will be in F1 with Williams, and by the fresh champion Quick Nyck.

But luckily for him Lou is not a person who gives up easily and managed to go all the way up to the 5th place with a time of 1:52.156. A bit of apprehension for my friend Matos, who crashed; physically he’s okay, but his car needs repairs.

See you later for qualifications!
