(Martin drove a lap of the track, scaring Vettel in the process)
“I work on the basis you have a limited number of laps, and I wasn’t going to waste any of them doing a warm-up lap!”
“It [Norris’s helmet] looks extremely heavy. I’m sure it’s not, because his head would fall off his shoulders.”
“They [iguanas] weigh up to 10kg apparently, so you wouldn’t want them dropping on our head, and it wouldn’t be good for the iguana either.”

RACE
“As the great Murray Walker would say, you could cut the atmosphere with a cricket stump.”

Venus Williams: “Oh… what’s the question?”
Martin: “No, doesn’t really matter…”
(whilst interviewing Paolo Banchero, believing him to be Patrick Mahomes II)
Martin: “OK. It’s not Patrick. That’s why he ignored me at the beginning. What is your name, sir?”
Paolo Banchero: “Paolo. Banchero.”
Martin: “Right. OK. Well, I thought I was talking to somebody else, so I’m sorry about that! Whatever. Little bit of misinformation in the ears there…”

Martin: “Oh, thank you very much(!)”
[…]
Christian Horner: “Are you two still rooming?”
Martin: “Sometimes!”
“Look at this… it’s like somebody’s just left the floodgates open. The grandstands must be nearly empty.”
Martin: “I don’t know who you are, but I’d like to know who you are. I’m Martin Brundle from Sky, you look a very interesting character.”
Gianluca Vacchi: “Social media sensation, let’s say this!”
Martin: “And modest too! So what do you do on social media? What is your name, sir?”
Gianluca Vacchi: “Gianluca Vacchi.”
Martin: “OK. Well, I’m sorry I didn’t know, but I’m really pleased to have met you… went well.”

“We’ve shared an interview with an old racing driver over there [Coulthard]… well, he’ll be upset I called him an old racing driver.”
(one more car crash interview to finish, with David Beckham this time)
“David, Martin Brundle, Sky. David, have you got a minute for us? That’s the second time he’s blanked me! Didn’t even get a free kick in that one! […] We’ll try again, because we don’t want to be that much offside, do we?”
Crofty: “Congratulations, Martin, you are trending on social media after that grid work— grid walk.”
[…]
Martin: “Grid work, it’s more like!”
(Ricciardo outbrakes Tsunoda)
“That’s the old Daniel Ricciardo we know and love! What’s his expression – lick the stamp and send it?”
“Valtteri Bottas ahead of both Mercedes. What’s that phrase in German – schadenfraude?”
“He was making his own track up there, wasn’t he?”
“Luckily, the tide didn’t go out in the marina at any point.”
(Vettel locks up and runs wide)
“Well, that’s not what I told him to do earlier in the week, is it?”
Fernando Alonso: “I think he closed the door in the last minute.”
Martin: “Also known as turning into the corner.”
“Catch me if you can, and he can’t at the moment.”
(Schumacher crashes into Vettel)
“You can’t be mates as Formula One drivers. You just can’t.”

Martin: “Somewhat weirdly, Kevin Magnussen’s just received a black and white flag for weaving on the straight.”
Crofty: “Is he still going?”
Martin: “I hope not!”
“They’re caught up in a traffic jam going to the podium… best laid plans and all that.”

Martin: “He has some sparkly sandals for that.”
“Torque demand, they call it: throttle, you might know it as.”
“A third of a second, you go a very long way in a Formula One car, relatively speaking.”
(after Aston Martin’s new Red Bull-inspired sidepods, they qualify 16th and 18th)
“That’ll take the fears out of the conversation about them having plagiarised bits of the Red Bull.”
“They all know it like the back of their hand, and that’s with a glove on.”
“However much power you’ve got is not enough, even if it is approaching 1,000 horsepower.”

“It’s a dangerous business. That’s why we’re all tuned in.”
“Some of the guttering needs a look at, there, Crofty. You know anybody good?”
“The throttle works both ways.”
“It looked like Piccadilly Circus with tyres out there.”
“At the famous 1992 British Grand Prix, Mansell won and the crowd invaded the track, and a man stuck out a baby in front of me to get me to stop and give him an autograph!”
“This is not junior racing.”
“Do something! Let’s do something!”
“That’s just “race” – the “control” bit hasn’t arrived yet.”
(the pit lane siren gets stuck on)
“I know a song that will get on your nerves…”
“A miss is as good as a mile.”
(Sainz with a huge save)
“His dad’s rally experience came in there, didn’t it?”
“Let’s have a regroup here, Crofty…”
“Bit of an irony that we’ve had all the treacherous rain and the big shunt happens when it’s getting to dry.”
“I’ll put some money in the meter, for starters: we haven’t made it to half distance yet in terms of laps.”
“Just to be controversial, all the lapped runners may go through.”
“Alex Albon running 18th, also known as last right now…”

“I don’t know if Mick talks on the grid, but we’re about to find out.”
“Kev. Kev? Am I interrupting? Well I am, aren’t I?”
Martin: “CH, what can you tell us that we don’t already know?”
Christian Horner: “You know everything anyway!”
(Bottas hits a bollard)
“Wouldn’t be passing his driving test, would he, with that?”
“I think, psychologically, when it’s [the tyre] painted white, you think it’s going to be slow.”
Crofty: “Did he [Verstappen] have radio problems towards the end of that match [sic]?”
[…]
Martin: “His mirrors were telling him all he needed to know.”

Martin: “Great food as well? Why, are you doing it?”

RACE
“The FW14B was the car to beat. A technical masterpiece, which only a lion could tame.”
“Over the next 12 races I had five podiums, four fourth places, two fifths, and the race I was missing I should have won in Canada, but the transmission failed. And then I got fired, in true Formula One style.”
“I’m not sure these cars will be around in 30 years’ time, but if they are I’ll only be 93.”
“Patience will be a virtue.”

“Max gave himself a discount on that 1:10.0 that he was asked to do with a 1:09.2.”

“I did 150-odd; at the time, that was top 10!”

“I hope you do appreciate me making myself looking stupid for your amusement… I’ve got my microphone caught up in this lady’s handbag! Sorry, I was not trying to steal anything out of your handbag, it was my microphone cable!”
“That was more of a mugging than an overtake.”
