Catherine Colonna of France and Wopke Hoekstra of the Netherlands visited the military base in Cincu, central Romania, along with their Romanian counterpart, Bogdan Aurescu.

Hoekstra told troops they play a key role in “keeping this continent and our territory safe.” “Russia is waging war in a way we haven’t seen in decades, and therefore we cannot let our guard down — we need to step up our efforts,” Hoekstra said.

While the state now plans some improvements to Texas 242 between FM 1488 to Gosling Road in The Woodlands, it won’t include more traffic lanes or a wall to help muffle noise from the roadway.

As Formula 1 aims to promote overtaking and deliver the adrenaline hit TV viewers crave, Mika Hakkinen has championed the spectacle of street circuits. Their rise through the last two decades has been sharp, with eight of 24 rounds on the mammoth 2023 calendar to be held on street circuits – including glitzy floodlit nights at Las Vegas, Saudi Arabia and Singapore. In 1998 and 1999, when Michael Schumacher’s old rival Hakkinen won his World Championships, there were just three. But following street circuits into the sport have been complaints about a lack of wheel-to-wheel action. A contingent of F1’s fanbase has become anti-Monaco, calling for the sport to modernise or scrap its historic showpiece on the Principality’s ribbons of road.
