Nuno Lima, who got signed by Aston Martin before this season, is according to the odds, favorites to win the race at Austria on this upcoming Tuesday.

The Norwegian betting company, Norsk Tipping, chose on Saturday afternoon to stop betting on a victory for Nuno Lima, after large amounts were bet during a short ten-minute period that the Portuguese driver, who is not Portuguese by the way, will win Tuesday’s race.
–We have oil, lots of oil in Norway, was the Norwegian Prime Minister’s short reply.
Norsk Tipping has chosen to involve the police, while at the same time saying that no payments will be completed if Nuno Lima wins, nor will anyone be reimbursed the amount they have paid. A well-known gambler, who wishes to remain anonymous, has stated that Norsk Tipping cannot refuse to payout, while the gambler now encourages everyone to gamble on Unibet instead.
It is also reported that BBE, who drives for Williams on a daily basis, has launched a hate campaign against Nuno Lima, hoping to psych out the driver before Tuesday’s race.
Nuno Lima did not finish the opening race, which Red Bull driver Kollar Tamas eventually won.
