Ein neuer Report reagiert auf Problemfälle in England. Ein österreichischer Experte warnt vor verkürzten Darstellungen und einer fehlgeleiteten Debatte

Sehr informativer und interessanter Artikel, gute Einordnung falls jemand auch so wie ich bislang nur kurz die englische Berichterstattung gesehen hat..

Plus Erklärung, was im deutschsprachigen Raum anders als in England läuft

Seems like the proposal is to avoid racing in the Middle East during Ramadan, which moves Australia and Japan even earlier in the year

[Tobi Grüner] We hear Albons chassis can't be repaired over night & will go back to the factory tomorrow. Albon might get the only running car that's left if there is a realistic chance of points & if Sargeants contract allows Williams to make the swap.

Eminem is getting ready to drop his first album in four years, with the first details about the LP recently being divulged.

On Tuesday night (March 19), Dr. Dre, 50 Cent and Snoop Dogg were guests on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, on the heels of Dr. receiving his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame earlier in the day. During the chat, the trio was asked about the possibility of Shady putting out new music.

"Let me explain something," Dre said. "Eminem is working on his own album, which is coming out this year. I actually talked to him and he said it was OK to make that announcement here on this show."

"He has an album coming out. I've got songs on it. It's fire," Dre added. "I'm actually going to hear the album for the first time tomorrow. He holds his music close to his chest. I haven't heard anything. I haven't even heard everything complete that I've done. But I'm going to hear it and he's putting out an album this year."

Translation of the relevant article parts:

Sometimes exit clauses can also contain more specific details. For example, a driver may be able to leave the team if there are changes at the top of the staff. Motorsport-Total.com is aware that such clauses exist for other drivers.

In Verstappen's case, it has emerged in recent weeks that the Dutchman does indeed have such a clause in his contract, which would allow him to leave if Marko is dropped.

Perhaps the most interesting thing about this Marko exit clause, however, is that sources say it was not part of the original contract Verstappen and Red Bull signed in 2022.

Instead, the clause is said to be part of an addendum to the contract that was only recently added.

And what is even more interesting: Insiders have revealed that this addendum to the original contract was brought in unilaterally by the Verstappens and Marko, without the Red Bull Formula 1 team or Horner knowing anything about it at the time.

Marko was able to do this because he is one of two directors at Red Bull Racing and can therefore act on behalf of the team.

However, the existence of the clause only seems to have become known in recent weeks, when Verstappen's future became the subject of a public debate and the existence of the clause was openly mentioned.

Red Bull themselves have not commented on how or when this clause came into the contract, but its presence suggests that it was a means of protecting Marko's position and ensuring Verstappen's safety in terms of team management.
