More F1-speak this past week

by Graham Email

I see that we have been treated to some classic examples of F1-speak in the last week or two:

(Mark Webber welcomes Nico Rosberg to the team and says he will be a "strong" teammate)
Excellent. They give me a team-mate with no F1 experience. Wait until I hand the little bastard's backside to him on a plate...

(Antonio Pizzonia lamenting that he couldn't believe "how slow Nico Rosberg was" during testing)
Why did you ignore me in favour of hiring that little boy just because he has a famous family name?

(Christian Horner explaining that Adrian Newey's move to Red Bull was not about money)
Of course it's not about the money - although we will be paying him a shedload more cash than he made at McLaren
