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!

That wasn't earlier in the season, I think it was about 2 seasons ago if I'm not mistaken.

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

Impressed that you found it so quickly! Had not realized it was so long ago!

Still a classic though, happily some things just don't get old.

I found that comment very funny at the time, and that's why I remembered it. Classic Alonso!

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? "

Fred ignoring what was being said by Rossi until he heard 6 a.m. start, I reckon he has whiplash!

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.

That sounds humorous, and something new that would fit quote of the week. Thanks.
