Diego’s View of Barcelona F1 Test 2: Day 3
Formula 1 is moving so fast. Only yesterday @paddylowe was in at Williams… and he’s out as of today! It’s a bit of an unfortunate situation for both parties involved. PL’s homecoming turned sour. There’s no doubt Paddy is super talented, it’s just the team […]

& voilà, photos from day 2. Stay tuned for expanded commentary & unbeatable punditry. To be updated. I say yes, you say yes: here’s my update from the kitchen. As I mentioned earlier, I enjoyed following this whirlwind on-the-run F1 testing of 2019, it’s fast, […]

F1 “Kubed”
