Podcasts about Aintree

It's one of the biggest Saturdays of the early jumps season and The Final Furlong team - Emmet Kennedy, Andy Newton, George Gorman and Peter Michael - deliver a fast-paced, opinion-packed betting preview for Sandown, Aintree, Huntingdon, and Cork. We start with the Tingle Creek Chase (3:00 Sandown) where Il Etait Temps is the odds-on favourite with 1xBet to give Willie Mullins another Grade 1 in a race he first won nine years ago. But L'Eau du Sud arrives race-fit after bolting up at Cheltenham. And Jonbon, already a dual winner of the Tingle Creek, bids to become only the second horse ever to win it three times. The panel have strong and divided views on who wins.

Ele não conquistou títulos ou vitórias na Fórmula 1, mas hoje, o ex-piloto é um capítulo importante da história do automobilismo mundial. Nascido em Paris, filho de pai brasileiro e mãe francesa, ele carregava no macacão e em seus carros a bandeira brasileira na maioria das corridas. Nano, como é carinhosamente chamado pela família e amigos, vai completar 100 anos no próximo dia 7 de dezembro. Ele é um pioneiro do Brasil no automobilismo mundial. Marcio Arruda, da RFI em Paris Conhecido pelos europeus como Da Silva desde os tempos em que entrava nos cockpits e acelerava os mais diversos carros de competição, Nano foi o terceiro piloto do Brasil na história da Fórmula 1. Ele se aventurou nos gloriosos, e não menos perigosos, anos 50 da F1. Antes dele, apenas Chico Landi e Gino Bianco tinham representado o Brasil na categoria. Fritz D'Orey, que também competiu na F1 naquela década, estreou oficialmente na categoria apenas em 1959, quatro anos depois de Hermano. Numa Fórmula 1 tecnológica, com investimentos milionários e pilotos famosos, Hermano destoa do que a categoria se transformou. Vive sossegado num balneário francês, aproveitando o que a vida tem de melhor: viver! De sua residência em Biarritz, cidade com 26 mil habitantes no litoral Atlântico, no sudoeste da França, a 40 quilômetros da fronteira com a Espanha, o ex-piloto de F1 gentilmente concedeu uma entrevista exclusiva e falou sobre automobilismo. Mesmo com a idade quase centenária, Hermano da Silva Ramos lembrou episódios marcantes de sua carreira no automobilismo e corridas de Fórmula 1 que disputou nos anos 50. Ele concedeu a entrevista em francês, já que mora na França há 60 anos. Nano alinhou em sete Grandes Prêmios oficiais de F1 em 1955 e 1956, todos pela antiga equipe Gordini. Ele acelerou em circuitos lendários, como Silverstone, o antigo traçado de Monza, com as curvas inclinadas, Reims, local do primeiro GP da França na história da categoria, e Monte Carlo, local do seu melhor resultado na Fórmula 1. Primeiros pontos “Eu fiz o quinto lugar no Grande Prêmio de Mônaco de 1956. Foi formidável!”, lembra Nano, que foi o piloto da escuderia Gordini mais bem classificado naquela corrida. Por 14 anos, Hermano foi o piloto do Brasil com mais pontos na Fórmula 1; a marca só foi superada no GP da Alemanha de 1970, quando Emerson Fittipaldi, que fazia sua segunda corrida na F1, terminou em quarto lugar em Hockenheim. Curiosamente, antes dos dois pontos conquistados por Hermano pela quinta colocação em Mônaco, Chico Landi havia terminado o GP da Argentina na quarta colocação, o que daria a ele três pontos no campeonato mundial de 1956. O detalhe é que, naquela corrida em Buenos Aires, a última de Landi na F1, ele precisou dividir a pilotagem da Maserati com o italiano Gerino Gerini. De acordo com o regulamento da época, em situações assim, cada piloto receberia metade dos pontos. Por isso, Landi ficou apenas com 1,5 pontos. Além dessas sete corridas, Nano disputou outros oito GPs não oficiais entre 1956 e 1959; ora com um Gordini, ora com uma Maserati. Da Silva também acelerou nos circuitos de Aintree e Goodwood, ambos na Inglaterra. Leia tambémJustiça britânica acolhe ação de Felipe Massa sobre título da F1 de 2008 e indenização milionária Na década dominada pelo pentacampeão Juan Manuel Fangio, com pilotos espetaculares, como Alberto Ascari, Jack Brabham e Stirling Moss, e grandes nomes como Mike Hawthorn, Giuseppe Farina, Luigi Musso, Luigi Villoresi, Birabongse Bhanubandh – filho do rei da Tailândia e popularmente conhecido como príncipe Bira – e Peter Collins, Hermano da Silva Ramos lembra das amizades que fez nas pistas. “Eu era muito amigo do Fangio, que era o maior piloto de todos. Mas o Stirling Moss também era muito bom. Para mim, ele era melhor. Fora da Fórmula 1, lembro que venci o Stirling Moss numa corrida de Gran Turismo. Naquela prova, eu tinha um bom carro da Ferrari”, lembrou. “O Fangio é considerado o melhor, mas para mim o melhor é Stirling Moss. Quando ele correu contra o Fangio, o argentino já era mais velho e experiente. Aí deram preferência ao Fangio com os carros que dominavam na época; as Mercedes sobravam nas corridas. Então, deram a Fangio o melhor carro e ele ganhou aquele campeonato mundial”, explicou Nano, se referindo à temporada de 1955, que teve Fangio como campeão – o terceiro dos cinco títulos do argentino – e Moss como vice, ambos pilotos da Mercedes. Aliás, o pentacampeonato de Fangio foi um recorde que durou 46 anos. Somente em 2003 é que a marca do sul-americano foi quebrada; naquele ano, o alemão heptacampeão mundial Michael Schumacher alcançou seu sexto título de F1. Fórmula 1 atual Engana-se quem pensa que o ex-piloto não acompanha mais a Fórmula 1. Ele ainda assiste a corridas e faz críticas; positivas e negativas. “A Fórmula 1 hoje é muito mais segura. Mas na época em que eu competi, a categoria era mais divertida. Hoje, a F1 se tornou monótona; são sempre os mesmos que ganham as corridas”, afirmou o mais velho piloto vivo da história da Fórmula 1, que vai completar 100 anos no domingo, dia 7 de dezembro. Em sua carreira no automobilismo, além do Gordini e da Maserati, Hermano também guiou outro lendário carro italiano de corridas. “Eu guiei para a Ferrari em competições de Gran Turismo e ganhei corridas, uma inclusive contra o Stirling Moss, que estava de Aston Martin. Em Le Mans, eu quebrei o recorde de melhor volta da pista na época. Fui melhor que todo mundo, mas infelizmente o carro quebrou”, contou Nano, que em 1959 competiu nas 24 Horas de Le Mans com a Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa em parceria com o britânico Cliff Allison. Além dessa corrida, Nano disputou outras três edições das 24 Horas de Le Mans, no circuito de La Sarthe, na França, naquela década. Na segunda vez que competiu na lendária pista francesa, em 1955, aconteceu a maior tragédia do automobilismo mundial – o acidente fatal do francês Pierre Levegh, que guiava uma Mercedes 300 SLR, provocou a morte de mais de 80 pessoas e ferimentos em outras 120 que estavam no circuito. Hermano saiu ileso daquela prova. Conselho de Enzo Ferrari Apesar de ter sido piloto oficial da Gordini, tendo vencido quatro corridas fora da F1 pela equipe francesa (Paris Cup/1955, Montlhery/1955, Montlhery/1956 e Tour de France/1956), Nano demonstra orgulho de ter guiado para a Ferrari. Até hoje lembra uma conversa que teve com Enzo Ferrari, fundador da lendária equipe italiana. “O Enzo me chamou para conversar. Ele me deu dois conselhos: mantenha-se na pista e seja rápido. Ele me disse que não iria falar sobre isso novamente. Ele falou que se eu quisesse ganhar deveria fazer dessa forma ou, então, ele me colocaria para fora. Eu fui lá e ganhei a corrida seguinte”, recordou. Leia tambémJovem brasileiro Rafael Câmara é aposta da Ferrari para futuro da F1 “No Gran Turismo, todos os carros eram equivalentes. Havia 15 carros da Ferrari e eu superei todos. Eu pude correr e fazer meu melhor. Eu ganhei na Bélgica, em Spa, que era o mais difícil do mundo”, lembra com orgulho. Brasileiro parisiense? Nascido na capital francesa em 1925, Hermano passou a infância e adolescência no Rio de Janeiro. Perguntado se disputava corridas com as cores da França ou do Brasil, o ex-piloto não ficou em cima do muro: “Eu corria pelo Brasil.” O fato de ter nascido fora do Brasil não faz dele “menos” brasileiro do que outros que aceleraram na F1, como os campeões Emerson Fittipaldi, Nelson Piquet e Ayrton Senna. Nelsinho Piquet, que já competiu na F1, e Max Wilson, que foi piloto de testes na categoria, nasceram na Alemanha e são incrivelmente brasileiros. Outros estrangeiros também nasceram em um país e vestiram a bandeira de outro, como o holandês Max Verstappen, que nasceu na Bélgica. Outro campeão da F1, Jochen Rindt nasceu na Alemanha, mas carregava a bandeira da Áustria. A paixão pelo esporte a motor foi despertada em Hermano ainda no Rio de Janeiro nos anos 40. Uma das primeiras corridas que disputou foi o Circuito da Praça Paris, no Rio de Janeiro, em 1948. A curiosidade daquela prova foi que a competição precisou ser interrompida para que o então presidente do Brasil, Eurico Gaspar Dutra, pudesse passar pelo local para viajar a Petrópolis. Naquela época, o Rio de Janeiro era a capital da República e abrigava o poder executivo federal. Retomada a corrida, Hermano terminou na quarta colocação. Na década seguinte, foi convidado a disputar corridas na Europa. O que aconteceu depois já faz parte da história. Hermano da Silva Ramos deixou o automobilismo aos 35 anos. Depois de pendurar o capacete, se dedicou a outras áreas de trabalho, longe das pistas. Mas a paixão pelo esporte a motor perdura até hoje. No final da entrevista exclusiva concedida à RFI, Hermano mandou um recado em português para os torcedores e amantes da velocidade. “Sinto que sou muito mais brasileiro do que francês no automobilismo. Muito obrigado e até logo, amigos da Fórmula 1. Tchau!”, disse Nano, um dos pioneiros a erguer a bandeira brasileira a muitos quilômetros por hora nas pistas europeias.

Big shocks at Newmarket, a record haul for Ballydoyle, and a new juvenile course record - here's what reallymatters for the Guineas and Derby trail. Emmet Kennedy, Georgia Cox, and Jamie Wrenn rewind an unforgettable weekend of racing action:

He's the bloodstock mastermind behind over 4,000 race winners - sourcing Cheltenham Gold Cup heroes, Grand National champions, and Grade 1 stars from Native River to Envoi Allen. But earlier this year, Tom Malone found himself in an unexpected spotlight when Paul Nicholls announced changes to his buying team. Tom reflects on that moment - the noise, the lessons, and how he chose quiet work over public defence - before turning the page to what really matters: the horses who could light up the 2025/26 Jumps season. In this wide-ranging conversation, Emmet Kennedy goes deep with one of the most successful, straight-talking figures in bloodstock on:
