If you’re a good boy Lando and do good racing, you can play with your scooter or your ipad. But not both.

Look, I know it’s confusing, but that’s why we changed to this colour. That way we can always claim every fan dressed in orange is supporting us. Look how many there were, today!

“Stop asking me why we did it. Look here. The CFD (cutting-off fabric design) readings clearly show: cutting your sleeves off will improve cooling. It’s just like what Mercedes did with their car’s bodywork.”
