The journalist later got a look at the engine in question where he saw a hole in the side of the block where not only had oil escaped from but also a piston! |

From earlier in the season. Sorry I have lost the references, but it is a gem!
Engineer:"Okay, push push push!" Alonso: "Haha, Oh I do like your sense of humour!" |

Obviously links to dodgy ripped clips isn't good. However links to official sites with the right to post such things is good.

today from Saward's post where he quotes from his online race weekend magazine.
‘F1 feels like it is on the move once again and that is a good thing after too many years of what now feels like Soviet-style control. In F1 the wall has come down’. https://joesaward.wordpress.com/2017...ere-and-there/ a very apt description i thought. |

I quite liked Vettels comment when his team relayed that Hamilton had been complaining about his rear tyres overheating:
"why couldn't they have done that a few laps ago, before he overtook me? " |

Massa from today's press conference: "Racing around Monaco in a car is a bit like trying to ride your bike in the kitchen."

Not really an original comment though, he probably recalls Piquet's description in 2008, that the bbc referred to only yesterday in their article http://m.bbc.com/sport/formula1/39985946

at some point everyone crashes at Monaco (so it is what it is) and, for obvious reasons, i really want the Canadian to do well but its getting harder all the time!
“It really ****es me off, because every time I play the PlayStation game, it’s always those corners that I couldn’t get right, and in reality it’s still those two corners! https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/s...crashl-910273/ sort of sums up his lack of experience. |

He also said something hilarious like 'we can all expect to be kissing a lot (barriers)' when Ricciardo patted him on the back Massa continued 'or punch someone in the face!' Lol.

Quote of the week has to be Jenson Button.
Alonso: "So yeah.. please have fun. Take care of my car." Button: "Hah.. ok, I'm gonna pee in your seat." |

F1 has certainly appeared more human this season, which I'm glad to say for all concerned
