“And if there’s anybody left in here
That doesn’t want to be out there
Watching the people get lairy
It’s not very pretty I tell thee
Walking through town is quite scary
It’s not very sensible
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot”

So at Brawn I had a car that would “never miss a beat”. Me and my good teammate “Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby”. I moved to McLaren because “I predict(ed) a riot”. Now I say to Ron “Everyday I love you less and less”. And now I am just told that this is “The Modern Way”

Excuse the lyrics Jenson but ‘I Heard it through the Grapevine’…..you’re having ‘Good Days and Bad Days’ . Just ‘Listen with Your Head’ Jenson ‘You Like it Too Much ‘ you have had a few ‘Little Shocks’ but ‘You Can Have it All’ . If not you are ‘Coming Home’.
