AUSTRALIA
Crofty: “If he [Ricciardo] does start from the pit lane, he can do something from there.”
Martin: “I’m not sure to be honest, I think he was in for a difficult time starting down in 15th!”
“These wide tyres look so right, don’t they, especially with a rear-view shot. Properly Formula One.”
(to Christian Horner, on Ricciardo, who is 2 laps down)
“You could get a couple of safety cars in the last 10 laps if they start running out of brakes or something, but I guess his best bet is to tip a couple of them into the wall as he’s coming through.”
(Ricciardo breaks down)
“If Ricciardo didn’t have bad luck, he’d have no luck at all this weekend. […] Don’t imagine it’ll need a safety car, but the irony is he was the man who needed a safety car the most!”
“As ever, whatever he’s given, Alonso drives the wheels off the thing.”
(Verstappen kicks the tail out)
“Oops […] you can tell he doesn’t pay for the tyres.”
(after Martin misdiagnoses a problem for Perez)
“Actually, I’m talking rubbish, of course.”
“Catching is one thing, passing is quite another.”
(Crofty colour-coordinates the McLaren, Force India, and Renault)
“Sounds like jelly at a party, that one.”
“Just the tonic Formula One needed.”
“It’s going to be amusing shortly, because good old multi 21 scenario, his [Vettel’s] ex-teammate, Mark Webber, is going to be doing the interviews today.”
CHINA
“It’s going to be like a skating rink with olive oil on top.”
(Giovinazzi crashes for the second time in two days)
“He’s turned out to be rather expensive, hasn’t he?”
(Verstappen has a great start)
“Like a video game, isn’t it?”
(Sainz gets passed off the line)
“Bye-bye, everybody!”
(Vettel behind Raikkonen)
“Are we going to have a “get him out of the way” comment on the radio?”
“You can tell the drivers don’t pay for the tyres, can’t you, otherwise they’d be– I think these’d be fine for Bahrain as well! Take them as hand luggage!”
“Grosjean choosing any which side he wanted there.”
(Hamilton pits)
“Barely stopped moving, did it?”
“Bit of an irony that Raikkonen, the man most asking for new tyres, hasn’t been called in yet.”
Martin: “He’s [Verstappen] actually been voted Driver of the Day today, so he’s beaten you on that vote today.”
Lewis Hamilton: “That’s OK, I don’t mind being on the top step!”
(to Sebastian Vettel)
“Any racing driver in the history of Formula One would like those [overtaking] moves on his CV!”
Martin: “Like a video game for you!”
Max Verstappen: (nonchalantly) “More or less.”
