Yeah, I mean… I’ve been meaning to repost these pics for quite some time now and without question they’re proper vintage in 2020, a good 13 years after they’ve been originally taken (in addition considering what happened to the man as well). So let’s talk […]

Forza Stefano: What FIA F2 Drivers Want from Domenicali

Be Piastri: 2020 FIA F3 Champion’s Thoughts
And we finally know the identity of our 2020 FIA Formula 3 champion: it’s Oscar Piastri! Oscar mixes Fangio with Raikkonen IMHO, he’s also managed by Mark Webber; he never says ‘mate’, at least in public. He’ll be Alonso’s team-mate at Alpine F1 in 2022? […]
FIA F2, Mick Schumacher: Either That Car is Stationary or it’s on the Move
