I felt very upset when I went to that Grand Prix,” added the respect.

The british, 33 years old, qualified on Thursday via their social networks, these comments having been criticized. “My reference was that a Grand Prix there, it was strange to leave people homeless and coming to a great venue where the money was not a problem,” she explained on Instagram and Twitter. “They spent hundreds of millions on that track which now is never used.
