  2. “Yeahhhh, but… I’d already won the championship, I wasn’t even trying…”

  3. “But don’t you see Lewis McLaren have Honda engines now, maybe you should go over there and emulate your hero next season.”

    1. Haha and it was Niki all along!

    1. @hobbsy009 ahah this is good

  9. Rosbger: ‘See Lewis I even missed your handshake, now do you believe I’m not accurate enough to perfectly slice your tyre?’

    Nico practises his “No Sir, you go first” explanation when being overtaken by Lewis.

    1. Now that a certain Venezuelan driver suddenly has become a free agent, Lauda lost interest in his quibbling boys and is looking at the top prospect in the distance, comtemplating how to get him on board.

      1. sorry I hit the wrong reply button

  11. Nico: That building is the Petronas tower, I climbed it about a year ago, have you seen how big the size of it is!
    Lewis: You may be able to climb that tower, but how come you still have climbed the massive points tally gap between us!

  12. Now that a certain Venezuelan driver suddenly has become a free agent, Lauda lost interest in his quibbling boys and is looking at the top prospect in the distance, comtemplating how to get him on board.

  13. Allright! Alright! Let’s seal it with a hand shake.
    Darn! Did’t I tell you to get your eye sight checked?…

  15. Niki Lauda is very happy after taking delivery of his new Official Mercedes life sized action figures.

  17. “Is that Nicole?”

  18. Handshake for the cameras guys. Come on!

  19. Rosberg completely missed a handshake with his teammate and blamed it on a big gust of wind.

  20. NR: “I’m not afraid of you! There’s the track, show me what you can do!”
    LH: “I will, mate, I will.”

  21. NR: “Naah, I don’t want to, I’m all sweaty from meeting a world champion.”

  22. Hamilton and Rosberg decided a game of rock, paper scissors was a good idea rather than shaking hands…

  23. Nico claimed not to see Lewis as they tried shaking hands.

  24. Well spoken waffle

    *sigh…*

    Lauda: no, no, NO! Your hands have to touch! You two HAVE to get the hang of shaking hands… Let’s try that again, take 24…

    “But the old guy is over there Lewis…”

  31. “I’m serious Lewis…just turn around and look. Kayne West is standing right over there!”

  32. Immediately after ‘the team is bigger than any individual’ mandate from Toto, Lewis and Rosberg demonstrate the famed ‘Lauda Engine Supply Handshake’ to the media….

    2. Right, you framed it better than I did.

  50. Lewis: No way, man, that’s not possible. Not taking such a stoopid bet.

    Nico: Not making it up! Just turn around and look. Toto has side-loaded iTunes and is downloading your and Nicole’s JV remix – on his Blackberry!!!
