    Some great quotes from folks in F1
    courtesy of ESPN F1

    my favorites

    "Schumacher probably said to himself: 'If the co-pilot can be up front, so can I."

    "I hope in a short time that everybody remembers me for being Bruno, myself, and not for my uncle's surname."
    Bruno Senna

    I hope people remember that too. It is a lot of pressure for him to live up his uncle's name.

    Good quotes. Perhaps we can turn this into a "memorable F1 quotes" thread?

    A personal fave;

    "Break a leg" Grid girl to Schumacher pre-race, Silverstone '99.
    All other opinions are wrong....

    Last one:

    Clark came through at the end of the first lap of the race so far ahead that we in the pits were convinced that the rest of the field must have been wiped out in an accident."
    An onlooker describing Jim Clark's incredible first lap speed at the 1967 Belgian GP at Spa

    Wow!

    As someone who never witnessed Jim Clark, or anyone in F1 before the 1990's, I am amazed at this comment!

    love it!

    "I" before "E" except after "C". Weird.

    Just look at my sig. It was from the post race press conference at Imola. Can't remember which year though.
    Q: Juan, can you explain your gesture on the last lap to Michael?
    JPM: I just said ‘what happened, what were you thinking’. That’s all.
    MS: I thought you were congratulating me.
    JPM: I never do actually.

    Louise Goodman "You have been practising with that pit-lane speed limiter?"

    David Coulthard "Yeah I have, I just imagining it's been your nipples I'll have to be more gentle with it when I tip my fingers off at the end of the pit-lane."
