like "We passed inside " "We out brake him" "We managed the tires" etc
Two possible reasons

a) The mentality of the driver is based on a team effort, so if they out-brake someone it is also a result of the engineer's work as well as the driver's.

b) They understand the importance of their sponsors/partners, so describe their success as part of a partnership. Motorbase drivers may describe their success as being with Shredded Wheat / Duo, not funded by.
