When talking about the Imola circuit, it is inevitable to talk about the accident in which Ayrton Senna, one of the greatest legends in Formula 1, died, however, not everything has to do with sad and melancholic themes at the Emilia Grand Prix Romagna, the house of the kitten most fond of the Great Circus and on whom one falls good luck belief for that pilot who approaches him and treats him well, his name is Formulino.
This straight-faced kitten lives in the Enzo Ferrari racetrack, which is why he usually walks around all corners of this place, both outside and inside, so that as he can be seen taking a nap on the grass while taking the sun, too it can be put inside bags placed on office tables.
The friendly michi can also enter the garage and the hospitalitys of the teams, because like a good michi, Formulino does what he wants, regardless of the high standards and restrictions of Formula 1.
Formulino, the good luck cat of Imola
This michi was noticed within Formula 1 during the 2020 Grand Prixwhen due to the pandemic the calendar was reconfigured and Imola was enabled as one of the venues in Europe.
Without so many people in the paddock, Formulino was able to walk everywhere, like in the corralito, where the pilots give interviews to the television stations, and there he found Sebastian Vettel, who was still a Ferrari driver. The interviewer let the German driver know that the cat was good luck and that it was best to call it to attract its attention. However, Vettel said that he did not like cats, that he had nothing to give them, besides that he was overweight.
Later, Formulino was seen in the Mercedes garage, where Lewis Hamilton was, who, unlike Vettel, approached and caressed him. During the race, Hamilton finished in first place, while Vettel finished twelfth, outside the points zone. “Lewis and the garage have been blessed by cat from Imola”, Mercedes celebrated on her Twitter account. Thus began the belief in the power of luck of this serious and gray kitten.
It has its own VIP access
After his debut in Formula 1 in 2020, Formulino was granted a VIP pass which he carries (and drags) where he wants, so that he is officially part of the Imola staff, although this little cat is “described” in your instagram account as owner of Imola. “My name is Formulino and I am the owner of Imola”so he can do whatever he wants.
As well as any other person authorized to enter the paddock, Formulino has in its VIP access an elegant photo, in addition to his position to be recognized by all those of the law by Formula 1 and by the FIA.
Here you may ask yourself the question about what position Formulino occupies in the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix and we have an answer, well the access identifies Formulino with the official position of “cat”, a task that no one else can perform as well as him. Formulino, we entrust a lot to Chequito!
