ROUND #7, BELGIUM: IN NOMINE ANTHOINE

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!

ROUND #6, SPAIN: STAY STRONG, SEAN!

 ¡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.

ROUND #5, 70TH ANNIVERSARY: A SHORT UPDATE (THE WEBMISTRESS IS ON HOLIDAY)

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!

ROUND #4, GREAT BRITAIN: PROGRESSIVE LOU

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.
