Re: Force India comes out of Administration thanks to Stroll

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 ...

He wasn't told to move over, he was told not to hold up Ricciardo.

No double standards, its quite simple.

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