  5. MS: Glad I was out of the way, I think my front wing would cost a bit more to repair than Karthikeyen’s.

    As a side note one of the suggestions that my spellcheck gives for Karthikeyen is Penny-Farthing, would HRT be quicker with one of them ?

  51. “.. so then, I stormed into the garage insisting that he tried to kill me. He was so scared he kept his helmet on! Baseless and overblown accusations really keep the heat off!”

    MS: Hehe, enjoy zis moment Sebastian, as I will enjoy my revenge…. at Turn 1 of the Chinese GP.

  64. SV: ‘Is this drink at the right angle for good product placement…?’

  65. Vettel: “If Eddie Jordan comes into view, remind me to put my sunglasses on. I think his shirt will mess with my mind”

  71. Schumacher laughs at Vettel saying he’ll beat his record…

  72. MS: yes as you can see I have complimented ze vatch wiv ze African bracelet to show that although on one hand i am like most Germans and depend on impecibble timing to get through the day with utmost efficiency, I also have flair and a crazzy spirit.

    SV: Flair is for the gays, take ze bracelet off and maybe you can drive like me!

  73. Oh, YOU’RE Michael Schumacher? I learned about you in history class.

  74. If you want to be in Petra Ecclestone’s next fashion show, you’ve gotta have the catwalk swing and hip swivel down pat.

  75. F1 Driver: Heil Hitler!!!

    Other F1 Driver: I know right?!?

  76. MS: *smiles* Don’t come complaining to me (cry baby)…..

  77. S.V.: Some say that you have returned to F1.

  78. SV: “Wenn ist das Nunstück git und Slotermeyer? Ja! Beiherhund das Oder die Flipperwaldt gersput!”
    MS: “There were zwei peanuts, walking down the straße, und one was ‘assaulted’… peanut.”

  79. SV: Seriously Michael, the team owners actually expect me to drink this stuff! MS: And how much are they paying you? SV: Uh, not sure exactly, but it’s quite a bit. MS: Drink up kid, drink up.

  80. You lose that bloody great watch, Michael and you’ll gain 2 seconds a lap

  81. It took Vettel a while before he realised it was a cartboard version of Schumacher.

  82. Cameltoe’s a bitch eh?

  83. SV: And this psycho reporter apparently uses a sneaky disguise to peep into drivers’ conversations standing right next to them with a camera hidden in his bag.
    MS: Haha, you’re kidding me, right?

  84. “If I’m the new Schumacher, does that make you the old Vettel?”

    Vettel: “I use this fingure when I win a race, and this one to signal to backmarkers who don’t move over”

  86. Vettel: “Michael, what’s this I’m holding in my right hand? I can feel it, but I can’t see it…”

    Michael: “Oh, that? 91 race victories, and… oh, move your hand like that again… that’s what she said.”

  87. SV: “You know that German DVD that DC said he’d watched? Well, I decided to rent it the other day and, despite being deeply disturbed by my mother’s role as lead actress, I must say your acting talents were as good as they come!”

    MS: “She was your mother?! I had no idea! She was a smashing actress, it’s just a shame her career came to a shuddering halt about 8 or 9 months after that film’s release…”

    (A few minute’s pause for piece-putting-togethering…)

    SV: “Dad?”
    MS: “Son?”
    SV: “DAD!!”
    MS: “SON!!”

    *Photo is captured*

    (SV and MS both embrace one another and walk off side-by-side into the Sepang sunset to a cover of Sister Sledge’s “We Are Family” performed by Kraftwerk).

  88. «Sebastian, hol schon mal den Wagen!»

  89. MS: Lewis is going to hand you your ass on a plate this year mate, chin up…

    SB: How do you know?

    MS: Trust me, I know what I’m on about.

    SB: *mutters under his breath* I won two world championships..
