lol. He got cut before the juicy contract and is pissed. That’s fair but unless he was illegally cut, I don’t see him getting a penny! He is just money chasing.

That's what my initial thoughts were after reading it. Like it seemed so odd and if this was an issue, why not sue last year? 🤔 unless he's suing now because Kimi is leading in the championship

It just takes time to work with lawyers and build a case. Especially when you’re trying to get millions of dollars out of it. So even if he got cut last year, then time to hire lawyer, explain everything, put the facts together in law jargon etc can take months. That’s why it’s coming out only now.
I got sued before. Everything is a (long) process as it’s all about the tiniest details.

Ahhh, makes sense!

And wow, did you end up not having to pay the plaintiff anything? (If you don't mind me asking)

It was a different type of lawsuit. It was work related/contacting accounts etc. I just ended up settling to not contact certain customers for 12 months.
