What to read if you are interested in Red Bull Racing?
I am living in my Red Bull era these days, and also this year is their 20th season, so I think it is reasonable that I wanted to learn a bit more about their history. I recommend these two! Red Bulletin – 20 Laps around the Sun: I accidentally saw it in a supermarket in…

Book review: The Formula
When I started reading this book, I thought it was like Drive to Survive, but in a book form: showing us the heroes of F1 and explaining how looking for loopholes in the regulations advances the technology of the everyday world – and it 100% appealed to my idealist personality.

My visit to Williams
Now that Carlos has finally announced that he will continue his career with Williams, I feel inspired to share what it was like watching the Silverstone race at the Williams HQ in Grove.

The Alfa Romeo Museum
Silverstone was not supposed to be my first F1 track visit. After the Ferrari Museum, of course, I wanted to visit Monza. The trip to Milan was one with my team (as in “my team from my everyday job, which has zero connection to cars”), as some kind of team building (only kind of because…

Silverstone (museum + track)
It seems that I have kind of a pattern with Instagram, because how I ended up in Silverstone is basically the same story as how I ended up in Maranello. Instagram showed me that the Silverstone museum exists, then I looked up where it is, and decided to go. To be fair, I think going…

Monaco
Hola! As this is Monaco race week, I thought it would be the perfect time to post about my adventures there. Especially that Monaco is such a special, historic racing place and I even chose it to be the header of this blog. The planning of the trip started with me realizing that Monaco doesn’t…
