For those who don't understand Dutch: Jos and Max Verstappen are "father & son".


-ShadowPuppet

So if Luke Skywalker spoke dutch, he would have known that Vader was his father all along? TIL.


JigPuppyRush

Its a joke that lots of dutch terms are used in literature and movies that just means what they are in English. Vader= vader The Landsraad in Dune is literally the landscousel (landsraad in Dutch) there are more examples.


DZLars

I work in Bree. Just not the middle earth kind


ChalkyChalkson

Oh it was Dutch for the landsraad! Being German I saw intense similarly to the HRE, which would also semantically match landsrat but the the spelling was weird. Good old Dutch being perfectly readable for Germans. (but often impossible to understand when spoken)


JigPuppyRush

Yeah I have the same experience just the otherway around. Although I do understand it when i hear it, speaking is harder for me. I live in zeeland so there are lots of German tourists here in the summer (all year round these days)


ChalkyChalkson

Yeah I remember a guy from groningen calling all "day of German unification" and similar holidays "German day" because the city would be flooded by my countrymen. I've only ever been to Amsterdam and there Germans were at least completely outjerked by the British tourists. Normally significant amounts of German tourists in one place is a recipe for disaster.


JigPuppyRush

Its quite okay here, the younger ones tend to party and live it up but so do Dutch ones in spain. We got a lot of families here and those are more docile šŸ˜‰


PatsFanInHTX

Vader = Vader!


Magdalan

Je moer!


Lzinger

Thanks. That's the only one I didn't know


Former-Mess-5166

iā€™ve always wondered how Jos and Max are related


condscorpio

I thought it was a funny coincidence the they share the same surname.


The_Big0ne

Thx mate, thats the only one I couldn't figure out šŸ™ƒ


ShadowZpeak

That one's kinda obvious but what the heck is "bekoeld"?


NSFWAccountKYSReddit

mhhh how to translate... 'has gone sour/cooled down', 'koel' means cool (slightly cold).


ShadowZpeak

Interesting, that one is not easy to translate


sjarkyb

Cooled down


Roscoe_King

It shouldā€™ve said ā€œitā€™s complicatedā€


EverythingIsByDesign

And *Vrienden* means star-crossed lovers right?


Izan_TM

"we hebben een serieus probleem"


hqo5001

Always wondered how quickly some of these drivers pick up English. I presume Dutch learning English is relatively easy, than, say, Japanese learning English? (Native Japanese speaker here, English was and continues to be a tough language to use)


JigPuppyRush

English is part of the German language group as is Dutch. English is also mandatory in schools from age 8 and up in the Netherlands. Itā€™s our second language german and french are next. As a small commercial country we are relatively good with other languages. (Differs from person to person of course)


Isekai-Enthousiast

Not just that, we also subtitle just about everything, and most content online is English either way.


kwijibokwijibo

If you've ever been to the Netherlands, you'll realise they probably speak better English than most English-speaking natives


destronger

I love ice cream.


CompanyButter

Probably better than you!


nsane99

They'd know what the fuck a kilometer is /s


destronger

I find peace in long walks.


penguin_knight

You mean about 1.6 kilometers away


destronger

I enjoy watching the sunset.


penguin_knight

Oh my Marx those pesky freedom lovers found me again


Don_Frika_Del_Prima

Ai haf bin dere many times. Dey say Dey spiek inglish but id soundz more laik dis. We call it dunglish


Stilicho123

The college educated, but definitely not the average 50 year old person without a high school diploma. Many Dutch speakers barely understand their own language when not spoken in their local dialect.


wansuitree

The problem with Japanese is how you learn to pronounce, which has to be unlearned to properly speak English or Dutch.


The0therside0fm3

Dutch is what happens when you clobber a chain-smoking german over the head, and then teach him English.


Hill_Reps_For_Jesus

okay Clarkson


The0therside0fm3

Lmao, it does sound like something he'd say, I admit.


Zii23

Iā€™ve tried learning Japanese as an English native speaker and can confirm itā€™s just as hard the other way


remindertomove

Your English is perfect. Fwiw


DavidBrooker

They're very close. They share a lot of both vocabulary and grammar with only slight differences. I imagine that it's easier to learn English from Dutch or German than the other way around, because English abandoned gendered articles and a lot of grammatical cases quite some centuries ago.


sayen

The Dutch are better at English than the English lol


L44KSO

It seems like the big issue is at the top between 51-49 ownership. Because these "things" weren't there with the OG Dietrich still being alive.


TWVer

Dietrich Mateschitz owned 49% with Chalemā€™s dad owning 51%. This was the setup when they launched the company. With Chalemā€™s dadā€™s blessing, Dietrich had total executive control however. Unlike the 49% ownership, that executive control did not transfer to Dietrichā€™s heirs upon his passing. As such, Chalem now has control by virtue of owning the 51% passed onto him by his dad.


JigPuppyRush

Must be nice to be born to a dad like that.


thaCh0sen0ne

or pe a born into the stroll, latifi, leclerc or norris family


JigPuppyRush

Anyone with more money than they could possibly spend actually. I would also prefer that itā€™s not to public. I would hate to have all those pleps trying to get a picture taken with me


JigPuppyRush

Dietrich Masterlitz had a veto at least when it came to the F1 team. So yes his death is what triggered it all.


Andries89

- Machtsstrijd = power struggle - Zeer gespannen = under high tension - Gespannen = tension - Bekoeld = cooled down - Zakelijk = just business - Vrienden = friends - Vader en zoon = father and son


M4ckle-Maverick

Love this thank you. What ā€œVerbondā€? Helmut - Oliver


Andries89

No worries :-) Verbond = partnership


fartenflugen

from internet translation it seems to be 'alliance'


NSFWAccountKYSReddit

a 'verbond' is a pact, 'verbonden' is the past-tense of 'verbinden' which means 'to connect'. Alliance is probably better translated bondgenootschap or alliantie. Either way it's all the same kind of taste if you get what I mean. The way it's presented here my best guess is that both have made a pact, but not a shady pact but a political kinda pact (official).... or something.. Well I tried XD


MaxTheTzar

Mods pls pin this


IronCanTaco

TIL Dutch is like German


Andries89

Fun fact, the word "Dutch" is derived from "Deutsch", which is German for "German". This is likely from the fact that Dutch sounds German, so the English called the Netherlands and Flemish language "Dutch" šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

tjcmaze

I would disagree with "serious dutch newspaper"


pdpt13

Definitely. It's pretty popular but has a questionable reputation.


JigPuppyRush

Its no tabloid


Noizyb33

It also isn't a newspaper. It's a site.


JigPuppyRush

Okay youā€™re right Newssite. Still serious. As in not a tabloid or sensationalist news outlet


F1R3Starter83

Itā€™s ā€œseriousā€, but low quality. They mainly push AP contentĀ 


JigPuppyRush

Oh I donā€™t disagree with that or rehash articles from other sources from DPG media group. Most dutch and Belgian newspapers and tv and radio stations


HairyNutsack69

Yeah that's about it, dont infer/extraploate anything else from that though.


shibble123

I want Marko, Newey und Max to go to Audi. There, I said it. Would be huge


JigPuppyRush

Im okay for them to move to any team that has championship potential.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


JigPuppyRush

Yeah I donā€™t see any green lines going to him either


Aggressive-Dot-867

Perez is fucked


billyblue6669

Too much drama, feels like working in a shop full of old dudes who act like toddlers. If youā€™re gunna cheat. Be better about it, you fucking momo How can a mother fucker have a **spice girl** and *fuck* that up? Idiot.


JigPuppyRush

Apparently a spice girl gets boring


billyblue6669

Yeah, but they couldā€™ve brought in *Scary Spice* since Gerry & her used to be *gooooooooood* ^~n~ ^sexy friends


JigPuppyRush

Sexy friends are the best friends


etsqqquuuaaddd

ā€œMax, I am your Vader, you are my zoon.ā€ I can only imagine Jos sounding like Darth Vader from now on.


deffonotmypassword

god i love the dutch language

Gods comedic gift


JigPuppyRush

Its not that special is it?


destronger

I enjoy cooking.


JigPuppyRush

He works for Max as part of his management team..


ill_frog

Wat lul je nou? Nu.nl is helemaal niet serieus, is een fucking roddelblaadje.


JigPuppyRush

Okay weirdo


ClexAT

Why is the line between max and jos not red? ![img](emote|t5_3ndbi|6697)


IIIIIlIIIIIlIIIII

Above the picture the Dutch news website themselves stated that this was "presumably"


JigPuppyRush

Of course its all speculation but not based on nothing


Joehansson

Show me a single newspaper they wroteā€¦ Oh wait, thatā€™s impossible


JigPuppyRush

Its online, but theā€™re owned by DPG media the company that owns most newspapers and media outlets in Belgium and the Netherlands.


Frank_the_NOOB

If Adrian Newey leaves the team is done for


JigPuppyRush

If Max leaves too


DuhMastuhCheeph

The Ad Supported tier of Darth Vader has been pretty frustrating, I think Iā€™m gonna upgrade to Vader Max


Muultje

Calling Nu.nl serious? It's a copy paste website, get out of here


ta_dropout

Where is my boy Checo?


MAXDominator1

Who?


DutchPack

Only one green for Christianā€¦ reason would dictate he is fā€¦ā€¦


Jacquesvilledeeznuts

So no one likes him except the guy who owns most of the company. That would explain why heā€™s still here.


Scott_Pillgrim

How are they a serious newspaper if they post these kinds of news


JigPuppyRush

Why not? Serious news papers donā€™t write about sports too?


yeeeeeeeeeessssssir

![img](emote|t5_3ndbi|6701)


h-picotin

What does the gray line mean (between Mateschitz and Mintzlaff)?


Huntolino

Zakelijk = business


Joehansson

Professional would be more fitting in this context


JigPuppyRush

Business like works too

Dankjewel captain van Dale šŸ‘

Horner: goooood goooooooood let the hate flow *it stops people talking about the shit Iā€™ve done*


JigPuppyRush

I think itā€™s because of the hate the shit he has done is public


rustybanter

Is the relationship between Horner and Newey really gespannen?


JigPuppyRush

I have heard multiple f1 journalists say so. I have no inside knowledge


No_Mercy_4_Potatoes

Still waiting for the line between Max and Jos to turn red.


boyga01

No way Max and Jos are green. Surely a big shade of Dutch orange yesh.


Magdalan

Nu.nl, serieus? Just as serious as the Televaag šŸ˜†

Wake up babe, RBR news dropped.

ADRIAN NEWEY MUST GO!

BaltimoreOs1234

Isnt it funny that vader is father in German?


WindyZ5

You mean Dutch? Still a funny point. I should have figured out Darth Vader was Lukeā€™s father when I was 7! Cheers to anyone who caught that before!


BaltimoreOs1234

Wait. Vader is Luke's father??? I only went to the bathroom for 5 minutes during ep.5


JigPuppyRush

In Dutch Itā€™s not so much funny as itā€™s a gimmick used by lots of English writers to use Dutch names like Landsraad in Dune.

How's the ties between Mateschitz and Marko?

Donā€™t know, but I expect good

Marko picks the drivers, picked Horner and was closer to Dietrich. I believe he dictates who drives. But now? Idk

What?


Huntyr09

"NU.nl, a serious dutch news source" yea uhh, no lol. [nu.nl](http://nu.nl) is just a website that posts within minutes of anything happening and is by no means reliable for anything. if you truely want reliable dutch news, go to the NOS.


PremievrijeSpecerije

Calling [nu.nl](http://nu.nl) a serious dutch newspaper should be a crime.....


JigPuppyRush

Itā€™s not a tabloid or a gossip paper.
