To those who from their homes complain about climate change, about the lack of competence of the government, the regions, the municipalities. To those who from their couches say ''every year the same story'' and those who (including a Red Bull mechanic at the centre of controversy in these hours) underestimate the gravity of this tragedy. To everyone, including us, Yuki Tsunoda's is a lesson not to be forgotten. We like blame, rebuke, complain. For every tragedy, every disaster and every drama we like to find someone to shift the blame onto, halving the anguish and increasing the anger. That's how it has always been and that's how it is again this time, while the heart of Italy still struggles to re-emerge from the high water it has been swept away by. Emilia Romagna and its people roll up their sleeves and dig, swim, look for impossible solutions, mourn for the dead, the missing, the injured. Houses that no longer exist, memories lost inside flooded cupbo...

Pierre Gasly, pilota francese classe 1996 sta vivendo un periodo complicato in Formula 1 e il GP in Australia è solo l'ultima delle peripezie che il Circus gli ha riservato recentemente, ma forse anche la più dura. Le corse fanno parte del DNA dei Gasly da varie generazioni, infatti oltre a Pierre anche il padre e il nonno correvano professionalmente e lui, sin da piccolo, militava tra kart e monoposto . Nel 2011 debutta in Formula 4 e inizia subito a mettersi in mostra tanto che nel 2013 entra nel programma giovani piloti Red Bull e nel 2015 ricopre il ruolo di pilota di riserva per la stessa squadra.

Ma è allora che la Toro Rosso (adesso AlphaTauri) gli offre un posto di prestigio per le ultime gare della stagione 2017, per poi confermare il suo sedile per la stagione successiva e quelle a venire.  La scalata di Pierre Gasly è stata trava...

The 2023 Formula 1 season is upon us, and like every year, there are new (and old) faces on the grid. Let's discover them together: Surely you are aware of Oscar Piastri 's arrival at McLaren. His was perhaps the most discussed name during the Silly Season . Officially announced in Alpine, the driver personally denied on social media and then signed with McLaren, despite the fact that shortly before Daniel Ricciardo had confirmed his permanence in the team for at least another season (he had a contract expiring in 2024). Despite all the circus, it is not surprising that the Canadian driver is now on the grid after his exploits in the minor categories. In 2020, with Prema, he won the Formula 3 championship as a Rookie and in 2021 he repeated himself by winning the Formula 2 championship. An accomplishment previously achieved only by Charles Leclerc and George Russell . It was perhaps expected that someone would find space for this young talent as early as the 2022 season, but in...
