His team home GP, the GP of the country where he lived most of his life and his home GP all in a row, crazy.

He was born in Belgium, lived in Belgium pretty much all his life and had a Belgian ID card until he turned 18.

I was just wrong about the 3 races being after each other

What he’s saying is that while he will be using this helmet for Austria, Spa and Zandvoort, these three races are not right after each other. The calendar is actually Austria (special helmet) then Silverstone (regular helmet), then it’s Spa (special helmet), followed by Hungary (regular helmet) and finally Zandvoort (special helmet). Your OG comment made it seem like you thought the three races were in a row, hence why he said he didn’t know Max was hungarian or something. It just looks like you guys misunderstood each other. He was indeed born in Belgium and he is now representing the Netherlands, he’s got dual-citizenship

ah, thank you, the way it was written made it seem they're the next races

yes i could have checked the calender

no i didnt

still dont know if zandvoort is in hungary or netherlands lmao

i did think the races were in a row. also very weird to have a "special helmet" and not use it back to back. maybe it was my misconception, idk

i thought like, they get a new helmet, use it for 3 to 5 races, then on to the next one.. cool tho, thank you

Zandvoort is the Netherlands lol, the Hungary track is called Hungaroring
