    And Tsunoda 5th ahead of Max in 6th, you can bet he’ll let the Dutchman pass before the end of the first lap. Max will have more trouble getting past Alonso (4th) as overtaking is difficult on this track

    Have you topped up a UK pension to cover gaps?

    I guess a 120 % ROI every year for as long as you live past 67 was too good to last. Are class 3 payments still available for overseas contributors?

    With VER now only 12 points behind PIA, I fear he will beat PIA into second, with NOR taking the title.

    Have you topped up a UK pension to cover gaps?

    IMO it’s safe at the imminent Budget…but next year ? Like the NHS , it’s become a sacred cow that only a brave government would kill.

    That’s not the only time Schumacher cheated. Deliberately crashing on the last corner in Quali at Monaco to secure a pole position, or crashing into Villeneuve in 97.
