When Keke Rosberg was leaving Williams for McLaren, Frank was asked during the brief press conference;

"How do you plan to replace Keke?"

While an un-named seasoned F1 journo says:

"He can't, Keke can't be replaced"

This is the translation of a radio comunication between an Argentine TC driver and his engineer.

Engineer: "Christian, a penalty was given to you, did you make contact with XXX?"
Christian Ledesma: "No, we didnt make contact. Directly, I send him off to hell"

In Spanish:
Ing: "Christan, te penalizaron, te tocaste con XXX?"
CL: "No, no lo toque. Lo tire a la mierda"

Murray Walker: "A case of champagne from Ferrari to Sauber for Norberto Fontana. Because the Argentinian newcomer, up from Formula Three, really, really, helped Michael Schumacher on his way there"

Martin Brundle: "What engines have they got in that Sauber, Murray? Isn't it a Ferrari?"

Murray Walker: "Well it is, yes. Martin, you are a cynical chap"


Martin Brundle: "That didn't work Michael, you hit the wrong part of him, my friend"

Didn't James Hunt famously wear a t-shirt under his race suit that said Sex - Breakfast of Champions?

Then Adrian Newey spotted in a similar shirt recently that read Redbull - Breakfast of Champions
