“I’m going to miss the car.
I’m going to miss these fantastic energy snacks.
I’m going to miss the crew’s tightly tailored outfits.”

I’ll make sure my seat must be big enough so that no Argentinean reserve driver can use it and sit tight.

Sainz’s personal assistant had to look away with embarrassment at his repeated failed attempts to get a spoonful of pudding into his mouth.

Alex, pay attention now…:
This has been my standard breakfast in 2024.
Next year, a menu change awaits.

I don’t understand the fascination with sherbet, as for sniffing it through a straw – just makes the corners of your eyes fizz.

You guys need to find a different pub. Maybe one near a women’s futbol league. Or a women’s weightlifting gym. They’ll clean up your manners; they’ll knock u senseless if you step out of line.

Preparing for the upcoming Max Verstappen biopic in which Carlos will play the 3x title winner, he uses the method acting approach and just like infant Verstappen, who had to feed himself as an infant, Carlos plays “here comes the airplane num nums” game.

The jaw dropping moment when I was told Hamilton had been given my Ferrari seat has taken months to cure. Maybe I can lever it shut with this spoon?

Sainz assistant clearly didn’t know the Heimlich maneuver. Nonetheless, a swift spank seemed to dislodge the errant piece of dry ice anyway.
