Maurizio looks for any excuse to leave the conversation after the subject changes to "last night in bed" and "the FIA wanting a Safety Car start for his wife".

"Maurizio, Maurizio - wherefore art thou pace, Maurizio?"

I think we will have to censor our radio feeds, Signore Maurizio...

Why is that?

Sebastian, he, ah, keeps talking about blue balls...

"It's worse than we first thought, the Espresso machine is broken..."

Maurizio: "Make him an offer he can't refuse"

"Troubling news, Maurizio. A recent account audit revealed that since 2014 we've spent more money on Finlandia Vodka than on chassis development."

"Vettel is on the radio again, he has asked us again what the **** we are doing?"

"I still don't know... Just tell him we are not allowed to answer."

Maurizio, the four-time Formula One World Champion is complaining again!

Maurizio: How soon is his contract finito?

Maurizio: Om nom nom nom

"You'll be called Maurizio Arrivederce soon if our results don't improve...."

Maurizio was going to check his watch, but then he noticed how sexy those headphones are...

"Maurizio, I have good news and bad news."
"What's the bad news?"
"Allison's just asked to leave."
"MAMA MIA! What's the good news?!"
"The espresso machine's fixed, and so is the pizza oven!"

Maurizio: So... is it too late to ask Marko about lending us those Austrian uniforms Ricciardo wore? We need a suitable form of punishment for these "Blue Woes"...

Engineer: I try this "Just for Men" hair dye, how does it look?

"It's not very good. Fernando has definitely lost his memory again. He's currently shouting at the guys about how he's the only reason we're not being beaten by Force India in the Constructors Championship."

Maurizio reluctantly agrees to test the innovative new "Hand Beard" safety device.

"Good news Maurizio: our latest CFD simulations have shown your streamlined hair is now 15% more aerodynamically efficient."

"Excellent. And what about the car?"

"..............car?"

Engineer: You look handsome without a beard.

Jolyon's reaction to the news that Sky Sports have realised the exact level of his talent.

"I wasn't aware the price of Infiniti engines was getting Red Bull pit strategists... Bloomin' idiot, I am."

Forgetting his race suit for the third Grand Prix running, Palmer must choose between the dirty spare kit in the Renault lost property box or racing in his underpants.

Palmer has perfected the "disgruntled look on face, walk back to the garage" even before the race has started.

Jean-Denis Deletraz: I'd better take this mask off now, before the gang from The Mystery Machine finds me out.

Dad, Kevin handed me his hair gel, turned out to be glue, things could be worse, right?

"And I thought it couldn't get any more embarrassing than Monaco..."

They left me alone. They thought I knew what I was doing.

Feeling dissatisfied with the feel of running his hand through his hair, Jolyon wishes Head & Shoulders still sponsored the Enstone squad.

Jolyon questions his sanity when he starts seeing descriptions of his performance on his car:

Total Waste
Pirelli P-Zero Points
Infiniti Disappointment
Renault Hope

Man, I made a Massa out of that race.

Sorry, Felipe...

Maurizio Arrivabene's streamlined hair did little for Ferrari at Silverstone, but Renault are getting desperate.

"Daddy said if I tried hard I'd win a bunch"

Jolyon realising he's having another bad hair day...

Wehrlein and Vandoorne both claim they are better than me... well, they have a point.

Photographs from the future past - Photo #43
Quadruple World Drivers Champion Jolyon Palmer, in more humble times back in 2016

After asking Lewis for tips on how to take Turn 4, Jolyon practices a "dab" on the brakes.

Daddy said I would only learn, if I made my own mistakes.....Daddyyyyy......AAAWWW Daddyyyyyy

The Renault RS16 - so slow that Jolyon Palmer only just got the Brexit results.

Palmer: When did dad's hair start going grey?

While losing control and spinning at turn 4, Jolyon's also lost his grasp on reality.

Palmer: Did I lock the doors? Did I leave the stove on? Why am I here? What is normal? What are cows?

"That spider on my seat is quite big... I should probably try to move it... But, what if I'll just make it angry..."
