Daniel: Who put you in charge? We need to vote on this.
Daniil: Why do you guys from Red Bull Racing try to decide how we paddle this boat? Think you’re better than us? We’re part of the team as well!
Carlos: It’s a life raft, not a boat. I’m happy with them being in charge. They got 3 times more money than us, so I think they should do 3 times more paddling than us.
Daniel: You’re estimate of 3 times is out by 10%, so you should do 10% more paddling than us.
Max: I think you three should sit at the front and I’ll be the ballast.
Daniil: I see you aren’t afraid to take a back seat now.
Max: Every Grand Prix driver knows you never miss a chance to overtake.
