Doesn't it bother you that he likes the Dutch more than Belgians? He kinda hates you guys.

Dunno, Belgica or something like that is latin for low lands/ nether(low) lands and was part of the Netherlands until 1831. Before that Amsterdam and Brussels traded places every year/5 years(?) for being the capital of the Netherlands. Blablabla

In the Northern part of Belgium(Flanders) they still speak Dutch, also in Hasselt where Max was born.

And Jos(ex F1 driver) Verstappen, his father is Dutch, but I really don't know why Max races under Dutch flag. He felt more Dutch than Belgian he mentioned i an interview a while ago, but anyway....

For me he is 100% Dutch even if he was born in Indonesia, Botswana or Russia. A friend of mine is born in New Zealand from Dutch parents: He calls himself Dutch/Frisian.

Another business asociate told me a few years ago he was born in Florida USA but also Dutch parents so he is Dutch he stated.

Max mother Sophie Kumpen is Belgian....oh well.

Cheers
Robin

Look my friend ...I would do the same thing as Max . It has nothing to do with the colors of the flag on his car .
But it's for sure , Max avoided the Belgian flag on his car , because our Belgian taxes are f@cking insane ! And that's why Max took a Dutch F1 license !
And I can know it. And feel it as well , because the *Belgian insane taxation* (steals) also *50%* from my yearly incomes !
You know what I mean ? =>

In other words...The situation from Max is actually *Financial speculation*

Merc front row lockout, astonishing. Should be another fantastic, highly competitive Formula 1 race tomorrow!! :/

wdb · 04-14-2019, 04:22 PM

Wow, not much commentary here.

HAM wins his #75, F1's #1000! Mercedes now has 3 consecutive 1-2 finishes to start the season. Quite a feat.

Ferrari F**K YOU for what you did to LeClerc, who should be the driver you back because he could win the WDC this year if you just let him.

Alexander Albon, very well done! Although to be honest I would have liked to see a Haas in the points.

And finally, it's good to see both Ricciardo and Gasly finding more pace in their cars. For Gasly though it might already be too late -- Red Bull's attention span is notoriously short.

EDIT: All that chatter about this race being a DRS passing feast really didn't materialize. Not sure why not.

MKSixer · 04-14-2019, 04:22 PM

The GOAT won it on the start. Fear-rari is so scared that that can't properly formulate a strategy to keep fight for 3rd or keep 3rd/4th places ahead of the Red Bulls. They are in complete disarray and need to let the drivers drive.

Fear-rari - 3 races, 3 team order interferences.
Mercedes - 3 races, 3 One-Two finishes.

Get it together Ferrari. This is embarrassing.

ec90 · 04-14-2019, 05:15 PM

Mercedes is just running the show again this year. Formula E race was good though.

Ferrari gave up constructors points to favor Vettel, just stupid. Vettel was never catching the Mercs.

FERRARI needs to deliver.
