“I’m telling you man, it was this big!”

The photo is asking for a quote from Senna about gaps a cat couldn’t slip through… but I’ll leave that to the axe grinders.
“Father-to-be regales championship contender with tales of the glory days.”

That said, a reference to his second, wayward move in Mexico would be fair game. There should be a strict rule for dangerous driving, regardless of intent. One that would formally catch moves like Schumacher 1997 and Senna 1990. Disqualification from a race, or the championship, should it be a championship-winning move.

I had a language lesson with Valtteri and this is the length of the longest swear word in Finnish.

Max – “I promise I won’t punt you off again. If you try to overtake me I’ll leave this much of the track for you.”

That’s great, Max, but I actually asked how much wing you were carrying.

Max: “I just wanted to dust off my Hungarian GP winner trophy, but when I was about to take it off the shelf, it suddenly fell apart in my hand. So it wasn’t a new one? You just glued it together at home?”

Sorry Lando, but there really is no other way I can describe a talent gap…

…and I managed to get the shuttle bus this close to the circuit before they red flagged the session.

Herbert wanted to see at least this much room for your car, so we had him sacked.

‘Max walks Lando through some of the RB21’s innovations, whilst Lando hopes to keep the rear spoiler fitted to his head under wraps’

So Lawrence Stroll brought me a briefcase this big stuffed with cash, but I told him not until Aston wins a race.

The FIA thinks that by covering both ears of children, we can isolate them from undesirable reality. But the reality is that everyone swears sometimes, isn’t it?

Drivers have found a way to communicate without children suffering from explicit language, much to the delight of the FIA.
