Re: Force India comes out of Administration thanks to Stroll
"UnlikeUday" Rumours suggest that Force India may need to change its name for entering the Belgian Gran Prix. This is because Stroll Sr. only owns the assets, not the team name/entry. If the name does change, they also will lose all the prize money that they were due. Here is a pic of the FI truck ...

Verstappen was told, ok , not to hold up Ricciardo, while Ricciardo in Spain wasn't.
