Anyone else would have to go through the same pain process as Checo has and I can't see Marko getting someone else in to start from square one again.
No way, Charlie would give Max MUCH more heartburn than Checo.

Maybe or not and I would be in favour to let Chas have a go in the RB car against Max but we'll never know as looks like he's remaining at Ferrari, whether that's good or bad for him continuing there remains to be seen but Ferrari money can buy nearly anything.

It didn’t end well here in the US either.

At least the good guys eventually won in both cases.

If you are pro-slavery then I could understand that the outcome was not favorable.

Will it be Stella Bella for McLaren behind RBR at Zandvoort for the brit team, Norris/Piastri have been looking good lately and may do well here with Leclerc/Sainz trying to spoil their parade. I can't see Merc being that quick around the sandy dunes but as previously stated there is some rain expected over the course of the weekend.

I know a little and what I can understand (without google) is that MAX was caught going a little over the speed limit in the VALKYRIE, difficult not to do that in that hypercar.

The note came from the French Police .

1- The speedlimit was 90 km/h in the tunnel and MAX was caught at 130 km/h (40 km/h too fast)
2- Driving in a supercar with one hand and the other hand on his touch screen .
3- Driving with a headset on to dampen the engine noise from 120+ DB .

One thing I'm always wary of when driving to Germany and Poland is the french cops going that bit from Calais to Belgium and even with a 'speed radar detector' they can take your car away if you have it on, they are like the gastapo!

Yes . If they catch you in Belgium with with a speed radar detector ,then your car is gone my friend .
And you will be treated like a criminal in court !

That's why I don't have one . But I drive everyday too fast .

The trajectory speed-cam controls have become a plague !
And like 8 speed-cam poles at one crossroad ..

We are watching YOU to steal YOUR money !

The damn S@ckers !!!

I will be wary of Belgium too my friend if going that way again before entering Holland.
