Why does every F1 driver of today uses the words 'for sure' as a filler. At first only Massa was using it after every sentence but now even drivers that will start racing next year are using it often in interviews (Max Verstappen). I'm sorry for the rant but I can't stand it, that's for sure.

You can add the word "obviously" to that as well.




Also if you see quotes from Ron Dennis you can bank on at least one "categorically"

"I mean..."

Glad to know you can maintain perfect diction when being interviewed in a foreign language. If only these lame F1 drivers had your skillz.

Absolutely.
Its common to the last few generations.
Away to answer anything with a throw away word that allows them to avoid the effort of complex answers while maintaining a better than you attitude.
It is one step up from puerile on the way to becoming mature, which sadly few achieve.

Sector One - in your examples the /interviewer/ used 'obviously' as often as the interviewee.

Yea, the word is used way too much in F1.

last year they the tv transmission here used to have a competition on guessing how many time Vettel would say obviously in the post race interview

I'd like to know how ofthen the words "for sure" are followed by the word "but" a few words afterwards.

Example

"For sure I'm at fault but if the world had stopped turning that crash hadn't happened"
