Quote of the Week
Every week there are some brilliant quotes from the people in and around F1, drivers, team members, journalists and commentators.
Post them here for everyone's enjoyment. "Hulkenberg is unhappy - to put it mildly - about the way Hamilton compromised - or a word something like that - his out lap." from https://www.pitpass.com/58936/Ferrar...ochi-front-row |

This is an excellent idea for a thread, wnut.
There is probably a Kimi Raikkonen quote of the race many races (and a Fernando Alonso one when he stays in it long enough). Paraphrasing this one completely, but: Engineer: Bottas is eight seconds a lap in front and you are lapping quicker. Kimi: What do you mean? How did he end up in front? Engineer: Bottas was leading, Kimi. Kimi: Ah, okay. I thought it was the other one. |

"Try three times please Fernando."

Massa poking fun of SV's tendency to 'complain' on the radio.
https://streamable.com/lkkea funny but Alonso on the radio would still get my vote. |

Thought Massa was very accurate there, Vettel does seem to expect backmarkers to just disappear

Great idea for a thread - I expect we'll see some gems in here.
I really noticed on Sunday how difficult some engineers make it - give the driver the lap time of themselves and the car in front/behind, leaving the driver to work out the time difference, instead of just saying "X is lapping 4 tenths quicker" or whatever. I liked VB's comment near the end when he said something like "stop talking now, let me drive" or words to that effect. Kimi & Fernando tie for the best radio comments from this one though. |

The official site give some of the 'best' of team radio on their site.
https://www.formula1.com/en/video/20...in_Russia.html 'just press that overtake a bit earlier on the two main straights' 'The remaining laps - I want less talking' |

Thursday Press conferenceparaphrased a little)
"So Fernando, if McLaren cannot give you a race winning car for next year would you have to look at other teams maybe even go back to Ferrari?" Alonso slightly sheepishly: "er heheheh" |

According to Autosport.com Alonso (who didn't manage a lap in FP 1 due to an engine failure) has made a rather cutting comment:
Having turned a session-low 21 laps, Alonso ranted on the radio at one stage that: "The engine feels good. Much slower than before. Amazing." I think that the tether he's coming to the end of is shortening by the outing! |

the unintentional F1 king of comedy!
from thursdays press conference. Q: Two weeks to go until your Indy 500 race debut. You’ve had some practice at the Brickyard, how’s it going? FA: Did you watch it? Yeah, on the stream. FA: OK. You really have nothing to do! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkmG38nhels |

Alonso is on a roll at the moment.
Asked exactly what the issue was with his engine in FP1, Alonso replied "There was a hole in the engine, and the oil was coming out." |

I don't suppose you saw that on video? If so do you have a link, I'd like to use it for something. I found the quote mentioned http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/39897407

Some videos posted in this thread, and in other threads are in breach of the "terms and conditions" of this forum. So unless the terms and conditions for this forum are changed, I don't want to get myself in trouble with the moderators.
Would also like to see this forum move from this very outdated version of vBulletin to a newer more modern version, where you are able to embed video's in your posts and many other great features. Latest version is up to 5.3.0 now. But that, along with the T&C's are up to the owner of the forum I guess. |

Is it an illegal site? Assuming not then linking and giving credit is fine.
Thanks for offering to fund the upgrade I'll get MagnetOn or EvilPumpkin to contact you. legend |

I'm sure we all would not want to get in trouble. I have had a look through the forum rules, and can't find the T's & C's you refer to that have been violated. Can you link to the relevant area?

Hamilton on the turn one contact with Vettel: I felt like I ran out of road and I was on the outside but that is racing and I wouldn't have changed it for the world.

Someone once was asked how important tyres are. They answered "Very, they keep the car off the ground."
