Hey, I’m back! Did you remember that there were the testing days?
Although many sources say that Louis will no longer be in Formula 2 next year, he took part to the three days of post-seasonal testing in Sakhir with MP Motorsport. He had good results, and in the last day he topped the chart… oh wait, Lou is not a singer, he topped the classification. He showed for another time that he’s better in testing than in races.
(Vicky’s biggest wish: Lou in Super Formula 😃)
Good afternoon! In less that 20 days it will be Christmas!
The FIA F2 season just came to an end. We saw the Young Kaiser becoming Champion with already a Formula One seat for 2021, and I experienced a big joy when the young Samurai Yuki Tsunoda yesterday won the Feature Race.
Lou wrote on Instagram that next year he might no longer be in Formula 2. He had quite a plain weekend: P12 in the Feature Race and P13 in the Sprint Race. What will he do now? I’ll update you in case of news!
I can say I enjoyed this odd season. All the drivers committed themselves seriously and showed their talent. I wish them all the best.
Good afternoon babies, it’s Vicky! Is there a better way to end November than with a race weekend?
This is the first of the last two F2 rounds, which will be both held in Bahrain. It’s a shame they won’t go to Abu Dhabi this year… as you know, Louis is very popular and beloved in Arab countries.
During qualification Lou wasn’t so lucky, as he was blocked by another car and this took him to P11. The result of the Feature Race was even worse: P16!
But Lou during the Sprint Race had his revenge, ending the race on the third step of the podium! Good job, Swiss kitten!
See you again in Sakhir in a week for the last FIA F2 round!
P.S.: this weekend the last round of Super GT was held too. Congratulations to Naoki Yamamoto and Tada Makino for the title, the last one of Raybrig before the withdrawal!
Good Monday afternoon from a lockdowned Vicky! Yes, in Italy we are confined in our homes again… but luckily I always have indoor activities to do. I follow my Master’s lessons with Microsoft Teams, I help my mum with cleaning and tidying home, and, last but not least… I OBTAINED MY BACHELOR’S DEGREE! Finally I did it, I graduated in Communication Sciences!
Okay, let’s switch to motorsport now. What a weekend! Lewis equalled Michael Schumacher and Joan Mir gave Suzuki a World Championship after 20 years of absence.
Last weekend the 1000km of Paul Ricard took place too, and Lou raced with the GPX Porsche. Unluckily, due to a technical issue, he had to stop before the end of the race, but that didn’t prevent him from being P2 in the championship! Congratulations to Lou and his teammates Romain and Thomas!
See you to Middle East for the last three rounds of F2!
Bonjour à tous!
Let’s review the whole weekend of Spa 24! Lou’s experience began well… the GPX Racing team started with P7 in qualifications! In Superpole, the crew gained P6.
At 21:40, Lou completed his first 2 hours stint and left the car to Thomas Preining (P15).
With 12 hours left to the end of the race, at the end of his second 2 hours stint Lou was P7.
After his 3rd stint, with 5 hours and 50 minutes to go, Lou’s car was 10th. During the 21th hour, Lou took the Porsche number 40 to the chequered flag, conquered with P11! Good job, my dear!
See you in in November and December for the Middle Eastern rounds of FIA F2!
Привет! Welcome to Russia, the land of vodka, Tolstoj and Dostoevskij!
Louis had quite an unlucky weekend, as he qualified 13th and ended the Feature Race, won by the Young Kaiser, in 18th position, and he was penalized. even though he scored the fastest lap. But I’m very happy about the Little Samurai Yuki Tsunoda, which started from Pole Position! #NipponPower Last year I met Yuki-kun in Monza, do you remember?
In the Sprint Race Lou ended 15th. What can I say? He’s been unlucky, but I’m sure that in two months in Sakhir he will have a better time!
Madames et monsieurs, bienvenue au Mans pour la competition la plus belle et important du monde!
It was supposed to be held in June, but due to the infamous CoVid-19 pandemy it was postponed to September. Here we have Lou, who previously won the virtual one, driving a Rebellion LMP1 prototype along with Nathanaël Berthon (his surname recalls me about Tarcisio Bertone!) and Romain Dumas, whose surname recalls me of the famous French writer Alexandre Dumas (I am and always will be a literature geek). There also are many former F1 stars, such as my childhood hero Juancho and my fellow Italian Fisico! And obviously I support Kamui and Kazuki, the samurais of Toyota!
And Kazuki finally won the race, his 3rd 24h of Le Mans in a row! Lou and his coequipiers ended 4th: good job, guys!
See you in a week for the Russian F2 round!
Bentornati in Italia! Welcome to Tuscany, the region of Dante Alighieri, the father of Italian language! This is the first time that F1 and feeder series visit Mugello, in the past years only Formula One sometimes tested here.
Drivers need to be sober before the races, so surely they didn’t drink the famous Chianti wine, but some of them surely ate the famous Fiorentina steak.
And now let’s switch to our Lou! His qualification session was very unlucky, but in the Feature Race on Saturday afternoon he had the chance to climb the 3rd step of the podium.
On Sunday morning he had to fight against a Russian Cossack and a Great Dane and finally ended 2nd.
See you in Sochi in 2 weeks! Arrivederci!
Buongiorno a tutti e benvenuti in Italia!
As you know, we’ll have three Italian appointments this year, this one in Monza, the next one in Mugello (Tuscan Grand Prix) and another one in Imola (Grand Prix of Emilia-Romagna)
For health and safety reasons the “Tifosi” are not here, but Italian heat is so strong that can be felt ever if we are distant! But yesterday there was a German to give us a big emotion: Mick Schumacher won on the same track where his father won several times! It was an huge joy for everybody. And Luca the Italian Goodfella ended 2nd! Lou ended 8th, and this made him start the Sprint Race on pole position.
He had a good start, but had to surrender to Dan Ticktum and after a breathtaking battle against Call(um) Me Maybe Ilott and Christian Lundgaard (Marta García’s ex) he ended 5th.
Arrivederci! See you in Tuscany in a week!
Time went by so fast… and we’re close to the anniversary of Anthoine’s death. We’re back to the circuit where he had that terrible crash which took him away from us, from his family, from his friends, from his colleagues. Many drivers paid tribute to him with prayers, flowers and anecdotes about him. A minute of silence was held before both the races.
Yuki Tsunoda knew how to bring some happiness in such a sad weekend, as he won the Feature Race held on Saturday afternoon. The win of a Japanese racer always has a fantastic flavour! BTW, in the remote case he bumps into this post, I say hello to Takuma Sato too, as he won Indy 500 for the second time! Lou had a little remuntada, climbing from 8th to 4th…
As Roy the Snack Mate ended the Feature Race in 8th position, he gained the Sprint Race pole position, his first one ever in FIA F2! I was so happy for him and I think his father Chanoch was so proud of his son. But unluckily he retired after a few laps. LouLou started 5th and ended 6th, not a great exploit but at least he gained some points.
See you in a week for my “home” race: Monza!
¡Hola a todos! Bienvenidos en Barcelona!
I have to say two things about the Feature Race, the first one is beautiful and the second one is quite bad. Let’s start from the good one: Samurai Nobu won starting from 18th position! And now let’s switch to the bad one: Sean Gelael was hospitalized with a back fracture after an airborne crash. Get well soon, Mr KFC! Lou ended 10th, gaining only a point.
On Sunday morning, Nobu’s teammate, Felipe Drugovich, won the Sprint Race, with our hero ending 9th.
The next round will take place in Spa Francorchamps, one of the most ancient and famous tracks, in 2 weeks.
Even when I’m on holiday, I keep you updated about Lou’s races!
The weekend in which we celebrate 70th years of F1 was quite unlucky for our hero, as he ended 10th in the Feature Race and 8th in the Sprint Race.
Next week we will be in Spain (or Catalonia?), a circuit Louis has raced several times on and which he likes so much!
See you!
Today we are in VickySilveStone, the circuit from whom 70 years ago everything started!
Our darling had a good progression this weekend: Friday he qualified 10th, on Saturday he ended the Feature Race 6th and today, Sunday, he started 3rd and ended the Sprint Race on the 3rd place of the podium.
The round of the next week won’t be named after a nation, but something like “Race of the 70th Anniversary”! It will be a special race, dedicated to the 70 years of the sport which we love and makes us dream.
I introduce my post about the 3 Hours of Imola with a fantastic news: besides Monza and Mugello, there will be Imola too! Three Italian races, can you believe it?
Lou took part to this endurance race held in Imola driving a Porsche with the Rebellion colours, it was his first time on this historical circuit and I hope he liked the delicious food of Emilia Romagna too 😋
He qualified 16th, sharing his car with Romain Dumas and Thomas Preining… he fought a lot for the 6th position, but at the 49th lap he had to surrender to the 9th final place.
The winner is… our local Italian hero Mirko Bortolotti, who I met in Monza back in 2014!
See you for the next event starring Lou!
