When F1 fans were debating why the Madrid Grand Prix was so unexciting, sports writer Tales Azzoni turned to the race course designer who granted an exclusive interview to answer the question dominating the post-race discussion.
Azzoni’s interview with Jarno Zaffelli provided valuable context for F1 fans who were disappointed over the lack of overtaking during the Madrid GP, with Zaffelli blaming small changes to the course made after he was removed from the project, including the choice of track surface and relocation of curbs.
Azzoni had stayed in contact with Zaffelli after meeting him years ago when the Madrid race was first announced. He reached out to him immediately after the race, realizing that his perspective was going to be important because of how the race unfolded.
The AP interview was published by a range of media in both English and Spanish and remained unmatched for days.
