I used to love Michael Schumacher being interviewed in his Benetton years. He must have learned English from the mechanics and they certainly taught him a colourful use of the English language.

Johnny Herbert always answered a question by starting "Yes...No..." before answering

James Hunt used to have a habit of saying "Yes" before everything during his commentary as well. :lol:

"Yes and that makes Ayrton Senna Champion this year with Prost of out the car and stuck in the gravel..."

"Yes marvelous overtaking there by John Watson..."

Murray: And here is Arnoux holding up Prost. Arnoux was telling me earlier today the reason why he's going so slow in the Ligier is because he finds the non-turbo cars difficult to handle.
James Hunt: That's absolute BULLS***!!

Rob Smedley, Spa 2011: Oh for f*** SAKE Felipe....!!!!

This tyrannical outburst on the Ferrari pit-wall occurred as Felipe clumsily surrendered yet another place to Fernando Alonso and then Lewis Hamilton :hehe:

One day I cut my finger , so I went down to the hospital emergency , well waiting I was reading a Readers Digest and of all places to have a motoring quote . It was about TAZIO NUVOLARI and after a race, reporters were asking him question and one reporter asked him if he thought he would die in a race car, NUVOLARI looked at him and said " How do you wish to die at home safe in your bed " the reporter nodded yes and NUVOLARI replied " where do you find the courage to get into it every night " . Such is the stuff of Legends .

I'm nearing the end of DC's autobiography, and it's been an enjoyable read. The following comment had me laughing a good deal on the tube, when I was reading it... totally made my day:

While I'm on the subject of driver appearances, I heard from someone involved in NASCAR that Montoya is nearly 200lbs. So he's not the the chubby little fella any more. He's just proper fat. To be fair, he's involved in a sport sponsored by Coca-Cola, McDonalds and so on, so all he is doing really is endorsing the sport's sponsors fully. Perhaps he weighs so much because he's full of s***.
