My compliments to the city of Rotterdam and the organizers of the event, who were able to draw a circuit on roads normally used for such an interesting city traffic, giving fans the chance to see a Formula 1 car in action really. “The slight damage to rear suspension reported by F10 during the exhibition has allowed the entrance to the track of an F60, born in 2009, for the second round of hot laps at the end of a memorable day for more than 500,000 fans present.
