DC and Mika have such great on-screen chemistry, the teammate love is real. And also some sad funny info about Honda: “The Power of Legends”

Reminds me that my Honda push mower is a complete and total piece of shit too.

Sober David Hasselhoff and short hair Dave Mustaine are awesome!

I really want to see McLaren on podium again

Quite glad that Lewis left that tire fire of a team. It is sad of how far they have fallen.

The power of not knowing when it’s a pipe dream.

All the wrong people in all the wrong places making all the wrong decisions.

The only thing they have right, right now, is JB and Nando doing the driving. JB has experience taking the worst car on the grid and turning it into a winner. Nando is a great driver, and after the tough years at Ferrari, he is more able to create something great out of something awful.

I think you might be overstating JB’s ability there. That 2006 Honda was a decent car, and it won Hungary after a number of people retired in front of him.

Also, I don’t really credit him with making that Brawn car a winner. If we are going to credit him with that, then should we blame him taking the 2004 BAR car and turning it into the 2008 turd?

It takes a team.

He's a good driver though, in mixed conditions. Not the fastest though. Check out his number of pole positions at mclaren.

Ron would be disinterested in displaying that cluttered mix of not-quite blacks and assorted greys in a public viewing gallery. Predatory graphite-grey is the hue that best represents Ron’s belief system.

I remember when Mika left F1. I was going to miss his monotone interviews.

Then the first time his replacement was interviewed, I thought. “He’ll do just fine.”

I think he is lacking when it comes to quali, but he has historically made outstanding decisions on race day. See Canada 2011. And the endurance, a mindset makes a driver become more than just some guy winning races, Seb has learned this year that it is okay to feel and show feelings, thus turning him into a far more likeable guy than he ever was.

Very good points. If you were to have a race in mixed conditions, and I had to pick a guy from the current grid to have drive my car, I'd be hard pressed to pick someone besides Jenson button.

Do you remember how kimi used to always fiddle with the microphone during podium interviews? It was magical.

The Power of (Honda) Legends

This would explain Hondas current success in motorsport.

Bottas’ mumbles leave much to be desired. He’ll never make it as a legendary Finnish champion.

Right, I know. Beaten by far worse drivers who came after him. he didn’t do very well ever again after his Championship win. Best finish 3rd in the drivers’

Ah, OK. Since there is a fresh crop of “Rosberg beatings” jokes, I wanted to make sure.

If Nico mumbled more, he could beat Lewis.

Good point. The top two mumblers are world champions.

Nevermind, the mods over there took care of it. You might like what I posted, I borrowed one of your images

Asking a Finn a yes or no question and expecting him to elaborate. Rookie mistake by that interviewer.
