With SFC Riga Radio we would like to provide a new accessible experience for everyone who wants to approach the world of motorsport. The program “Ferrari in Formula 1” was created by our passionate team of experienced commentators to let our listeners have a deep involvement in car races and with that extra touch to include blind and visually impaired audiences.
Our team will:
introduce the locality which hosts the GP (with its cultural, gastronomical and touristic excellences), together with the track and a comment on qualifying sessions;
provide a live commentary of F1 races, including additional inclusive audio description content;
discuss the most recent and interesting news;
discuss specific topics and answer questions from the audience.
The show and its previous broadcasts, available in a few languages, can be followed on this page and on our app “SFC Riga Radio”.
Our team, made up of a selection of fully-accredited commentators, consists of the following elements:
Italian: Valerio Palmigiano, Alberto Galassi, Antonio Caruccio
Finnish: Iina Huhmarniemi
Antonio Caruccio
At the age of 30, Antonio has already spent most of his life in every communication aspect of motorsport. Raised and born as journalist, he faced many experiences as TV commentator, speaker, press officer and social media manager.
He was one of the youngest Italian F1 accredited journalists and has started to be a TV guest and host.
Valerio Palmigiano
Valerio is an Italian international tax consultant (certified chartered accountant) living in Riga, Latvia.
He has been the president of Scuderia Ferrari Club Riga since September 2013. His presidency of the club allows him to express the passion he has since childhood for Ferrari.
Alberto Galassi
Alberto started to follow motorcycles races in early ‘60, racing cars meeting in Cesenatico and hillclimbs before his first visit at a proper circuit, Monza. The battle among Porsche, Alfa Romeo, Lola, Ford and Ferrari hooked him and so he became a passionate fan of motor racing, rallies included.
He is always interested in the historic side of the drivers and riders, cars and motorcycles, tracks, teams and people, the most intriguing face of the sport.
Iina Huhmarniemi
Her passion about Ferrari, in combination with that for journalism, has resulted in a blog that has gained a lot of popularity, attention and devoted following. She will be leading the Scuderia Ferrari Club Riga radio team in Finland.
