    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

    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?
