The mugged by Webber comment made me laugh at the time.
"I knew I had been beaten by the best driver in the world." Rene Arnoux.
Oh btw - Martin Brundle's Australia Quotes:“You can’t see in those ridiculous mirrors parked outboard on the side pods.”
“When you’re constantly looking at your team mate’s data across the garage, you’re in trouble.”
“Hurry up and wait through the hairpins.”
“It doesn’t hurt when you crash on PlayStation.”
“His first sector a 28.3, which is decidedly not very fast.”
“He’s on a set of tyres that’s beginning to cry, ‘Enough’.”
Jonathan: “This isn’t gonna be good enough unless he suddenly gets a turbo on the way.”
Martin: “A shortcut, he needs now!”
“Turn 8 is eat your sandwiches and think about something else.”
Vettel (over radio): “Oh, gracious! We will show them!”
Martin: “You already showed us. If there was a University of Formula 1, that would be a case study.”
“I thought we might stand more of a chance of finding some drivers here at the poorer, happier end of the grid.”
“That’s the stupid mirrors again. That was zero percent Jenson’s fault.”
“Schumacher won’t appreciate all the Formula Ford barging around.”
“It’s so boring, this Formula 1!! That’s what I hate about it!”
“Massa just gave him the space. It was like an invitation to pass, and Hamilton RSVPed immediately. And Alonso, too busy watching them, gets mugged by Webber.”
“That would be a mother and father of a shunt if those two connected on Turn 12.”
“If I hadn’t heard that myself, I wouldn’t have believed it – an engineer having to tell a driver how to drive.”
“Three things will win Jenson the race: the smooth driving style, no doubt about it; Vettel and his problems; and ... I can’t remember the third one!”
Jonathan: “He’s in the lead!”
Martin: “Yeah, exactly!”
(Alonso’s engineer radios how close Hamilton is getting behind him)
Alonso: “I don’t want to know.”
Martin (laughing): “I’ve said that myself a few times!”
“It’s a pathetic feeling when your tyres are gone: you can’t brake, you can’t turn, you can’t get on the throttle pedal; you just feel helpless.”
“You don’t win a world championship and all the races (Jenson)’s done by not being one of the world’s great racing drivers. But it was interesting to hear Lewis losing his head in the middle of that: ‘My tyres have grained,’ ‘Nothing we can do,’ ‘Why did you pull me in?’ is not a discussion to have while you’re trying to pass the Ferraris.”
“(Vettel) must be on some kind of happy pill, ‘cause he’s slapping the team on the back on the pitwall.”Genius!
