2019 PRE-SEASONAL TESTING, DAY 6: NYCK IS THE ONE!

Nyck is definitely the man to beat this season! Yes, he ended on the top again. I bet we will se amazing fights between Knight Louis and him. By the way, our little Swiss chocolate ended 3rd in the morning, with a time of 1:27.421. But then, a few hours later, the "Maledition of the Afternoon" struck again: he scored a time of 1:34.784, ending 12th.

So, the 2019 pre-seasonal testing days are now done and dusted. Everything is said and done. Or, to say it in French, as Lou would do, "les jeux sont faits". Now it's time to switch to the real racing, the real competition. Personally I can't wait to review this season with you here on my blog. 

See you in a few weeks for the Bahrain round! 

2019 PRE-SEASONAL TESTING, DAY 5: BRASIL, LALALALALALALALA!

A dancing-samba Vicky welcomes you to the review of this second day of testing in Barça. First of all, why am I dancing samba? Yes, Sergio Sette Camara, my grandma's celebrity crush, topped the chart, and I'm not talking about the release a new Brazilian song! However, let's sing all together… *BRASIL, LALALALALALALALA!*

Knight Louis did a good job in both morning and afternoon sessions, scoring a time of 1:27.620 in the morning and of 1:29.841 in the afternoon. He showed us that he can make it to the light when he's tired too! I'm so proud of him and I hope that he will end the testing days with a bang. See you tomorrow for the last pre-seasonal blast.

2019 PRE-SEASONAL TESTING, DAY 4: HIT ME NYCK ONE MORE TIME!

¡Hola! After the testing days in Jerez, the F2 heroes are now committed in three more days of testing in Barcelona. Nyck made it to the top again, he "hit the classification one more time", as Britney Spears would sing. 

And Knight Louis...? Well, in the morning he did a good job, as he ended 3rd with a time of 1:28.875. But seems like that in the afternoon struggles a bit more, I could see it many times. In fact his afternoon time was 1:34.850. Maybe it's because in the afternoon you're more tired… 

Tomorrow I will review the second day, I hope Louis will stay strong…

2019 PRE-SEASONAL TESTING, DAY 3: THE KNIGHT VS. THE PRINCE

The last day of testing gave us an huge surprise. Yes, Mick Schumacher ended the day on the top of the classification! "Quick Mick" for another time is showing us that he's not only "Michael's son", but he's showing us that he's a good, fast driver. Obviously there will always be somebody who will compare him to his legendary father. In the morning our heroes, the Swiss Knight Louis and the Almond-Shaped Eyed Prince Charming Jack, had an epic battle with the Kaiser's son, an epic battle which ended with Jack 2nd and Louis 3rd; Louis' time was 1:24.247.

In the afternoon, Louis ended 4th with a time of 1:27.880.

And that's it. The first session of testing of the 2019 season is done and dusted. The next one, as well as the last one before the beginning of the season, is scheduled to be in Barcelona on 5-6-7 March. I will be there to write articles about it, of course.

Kisses! Or better, besitos!

2019 PRE-SEASONAL TESTING, DAY 2: BITTERSWEET DAY

¡Hola amigos! Vicky is back and will tell you about the second day of testing. 

Nyck topped the chart again in the morning, making me sure that he's the man to watch this season, while our soft kitty Lou ended in 4th position with a time of 1:24.803 after an epic battle against Mick Schumacher, the Kaiser's son. My Italian fellow Luca Ghiotto improved throughout the session, ending with a time close to Nyck's one.

In the afternoon, the classification was topped by Dorian Boccolacci, followed by another French-Italian driver, Giuliano Alesi! Louis had some troubles and ended 16th with a time of 1:29.597. Keep on fighting, baby.

See you tomorrow for the last day of testing!

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!
