Quotes from Cast:
“You have to love Ferrari winning at Monza and that podium and the mass, the biomass down the straight and all singing the Italian national anthem.”
“The reality is, would this strategy have worked? Was the graining too extreme? Was the McLaren never going to recover from that graining because they were harder on the tires?”
“Can one fault Oscar for trying to win? Don’t we like it when drivers have that fighting spirit?”
“A team of this caliber to, know, papaya rules, that seems awful sophomoric to me.”
“Oscar knows that. Lando knows that. McLaren know that.”
“If you’re a McLaren or you’re Oscar fan, you should be like, that’s pretty, pretty, pretty good shit right there.”
“If Alonzo was in a McLaren now, a Ferrari now, Mercedes, he’d be in amongst it.”
“Ferrari’s one stopper with Charles.”
“The drift. Yeah, he was doing some hooning out there.”

As an Italian born Aussie, I loved seeing Oscar’s move on Lando, my question to those who got their knickers in a knot about the move, if the roles were reversed, would Lando have gone for it? If your answer is no, then don’t expect to see him as a WDC.
Also, my donkey of the race, is Davide Valsecchi, my god, it’s like a bad caricature of Italians, makes me cringe every time. Also, Nico Rosberg, why is he still there? Not as annoying as Davide, but just annoying.
Respect your opinion but i get a kick out of Davide’s enthusiasm and Rosberg’s willingness to use his credibility to ask the questions on everyone’s mind directly of the big shots.
Valsecchi is my Anti-Spirit Animal
Has anyone spotted Jos recently? Did he stop coming to races, or has he been allowed to drive his Champion’s Minardi to each venue and has just DNFed each time?
LOL…now that’s funny right there!
I’m not necessarily a Ferrari fan, i tend to follow a driver more than a team, but I love to see them win at home. It seems like something they do for themselves, their fans, their country. When RB win it seems like something they do TO everyone else.
