  18. And then I press here and the car is 5 or 6 seconds a lap quicker.

  19. “Why can’t my car be as easy to work as this angry birds game”

  20. This thing drives like it’s on rails! What’s the secret and can we copy it?

  22. Just working on ideal lines for Qualifying

  23. Rosberg, fresh from a successful two day testing session and prior to his presentation at the strategy group, invites the press to review his thesis on “improving the racing: 2017 onwards’

  24. Rosberg, ever the more cerebral racer, quickly understood that Wolf was correct when he said the 2017 cars would be the fastest ever, and fresh from testing, invites the press to review the simulator output showing ‘the future’ of F1 racing’ and the increased driver input….

  25. Nico is finally understanding how to lead a train of cars around the track.

  47. Or pretending where the steering wheel is.

  48. This is Nico’s friendship gift for Lewis.
    It is a recording booth so Lewis can sing and record his music where ever he goes and even it is soundproof so no one would hear him.
