The Formula One patient stated that if Max Verstappen does not win any races by the end of the year, that day could have been the last opportunity for him to appear on the podium side by side with engineer GP. According to the author, it seemed that Red Bull would agree with McLaren on GP's early departure and would not keep him in the team against his will. If that were to happen, it would be characteristic for GP and Verstappen to have last stood on the podium together in Singapore, at a circuit that Verstappen said had not favored him for many years. The author labeled it as the best conclusion to one of the most successful partnerships between a driver and an engineer in F1 history. #F1 #Verstappen #RedBull (translated)

It is therefore only a matter of time before the first cases of rides costing tens of thousands of crowns appear. Well, and of course no one warned the residents of Prague or the tourists that the Prague city hall quietly deprived them of the protection of price ceilings, "It is therefore only a matter of time before the first cases of rides costing tens of thousands of crowns appear. Well, and of course no one warned the residents of Prague or the tourists that the Prague city hall quietly deprived them of the protection of price ceilings," said Tomáš Prouza, president of the Czech Union of Trade and Tourism, on X, adding that "the taxi mafia in Prague is celebrating and thanking the city hall." #Praha #taxi #cenováregulace (translated)
Tomáš Prouza claimed that the Prague magistrate abolished price caps for traditional taxis with taximeters from October 1, without notifying residents and tourists. According to him, this allowed drivers to charge a starting rate of 666 crowns and 444 crowns per kilometer, which he said could lead to rides costing tens of thousands of crowns. He linked the change to the long-term effort of traditional taxi drivers to limit competition from digital platforms. He stated that the parliamentary amendment, advocated by ANO and the Pirates, aimed to drive thousands of taxi drivers out of Prague. He attributed falling prices, better ride availability, and the ability to know the price in advance to the applications. According to Prouza, the responsibility for the taxi service area lay with Prague's deputy mayor for transport, Jaromír Beránek. Prouza called the change an adjustment pushed through at the request of the taxi mafia and warned that it could damage Prague's reputation. He also referred to the city's decision to abolish the price cap and questioned the timing of the change before the elections and its secrecy. https://t.co/ipI2QMVBLE #taxi #prague #praha #magistrat #taxi #praha #magistrat (translated)
