Well done students: “Fornaroli, an incredible job. He should have done the FP1 in Bahrain, we’ll see it soon”

McLaren, Fornaroli is excited. In McLaren they also speak Italian. The team principal is Andrea Stella, from 2028 his right-hand man will be Gianpiero Lambiase (British with Italian parents), while a high-level management figure is Alessandro Alunni Bravi, former head of the Sauber pit wall and now Chief Business Officer at Woking. Even the track, however, sees Italy as the protagonist: Leonardo Fornaroli, in fact, is preparing to make his debut in a Formula 1 race weekend. He should have done so in Bahrain, but the cancellation of the race in April due to the war in Iran forced McLaren to change plans. Not bad, because the papayas have blind faith in the outgoing Formula 2 champion, as admitted by Alunni Bravi himself. The words of Alunni Bravi “Leonardo is doing an incredible job, we are really very happy with how he is going; he has already performed two tests on old cars and has covered more than a thousand kilometers in the car, without making any mistakes; he is growing very well and was immediately competitive”, these are the words of Alunni Bravi to the media, including FormulaPassion. “Now two races have been cancelled, so the plans for Sakhir have been changed. We will certainly see him in FP1 this year, but I think the plan for him is to have him ready not for a practice session, but ready to race, being our reserve driver.” “TPC testing will continue throughout the season, but we’ll see him on a weekend soon. He’s already been with us in Japan, working with the team to try to understand how to approach a race weekend in terms of feedback and what the main duties of the race driver are,” he added. “Furthermore, he is also supporting our team in the GPs, working on the simulator and giving a very valuable contribution.”
