| Driver Interview:Lewis vs DC vs Button -
07-04-2008, 06:51 AM
Here is an extract from the Thursday drivers interview. Lewis failed to back up his claim that he is fitter than JC, and he failed to accept JC's challenge. As Ronnie Jones (aussie comedian) will say "Lewis, harden the f*(k up'' Quote: Q. At the Reebok launch the other day you were quoted as saying you thought you were fitter than Jenson. Is that the case?LH: I've noticed that Jenson has a bit of a belly and so... I'm only joking! I was just trying to be positive. JB: They're called muscles. DC: Place your bets and go win the fight. LH: Well, you've just done some event recently. What was that?
JB: It was a triathlon. LH: Yeah, I'm not sure whether I could do a triathlon, so I'm not going to say that I could beat him at that, but generally I work my arse off… you work your arse off to be fitter than me, and you've got to believe that you're fitter than me and the same way the other way.
JB: I do believe…
LH: Yeah, so, what I think… JB: I must admit, I do believe. LH: It would be good to have a challenge. JB: I'm sure we can work something out there. If you don't like triathlons… The good thing is that you've got three different activities. DC: Run a lap of the track. JB: Exactly, we could try different things. I've got a triathlon on July 27th if you're interested. LH: Where's your strongest point?
JB: Umm, all of them! And yours? We could do it for charity, I'm sure, as well. Yeah? LH: Yeah? Well, shall we get this… JB: We'll get DC in there as well.
LH: Yeah, get DC as well. DC: I'll be the referee. LH: You can be the bottle-holder. JB: Yeah, exactly, yeah. Q. So I think we've got the answer there: DC is going to be the referee and you two are going to do Bath, is that right? LH: I'm not putting myself into it, I don't know. I'll probably be working or doing something else. DC: He's throwing down a man challenge, you can't turn down a man challenge. LH: We'll see, we'll see. We'll talk about it personally afterwards.

Quote: Prac One: Massa leads and then crashes
Friday 4th July 2008
Felipe Massa set the pace in the opening practice session for the British GP, however, the session will best be remembered for his huge accident.
Topping the timesheets with a 1:19.575 Massa was intent on extending his advantage when he came across oil that had just been dropped by Fernando Alonso's Renault.
Hitting the oil sent the Brazilian flying off the track at high speed and crashing into the barriers backwards.
Although Massa climbed unaided from his car, his F2008 suffered severe damage to the rear, which could prevent him from taking part in Friday's second session.
Despite his accident Massa still finished Practice One at the top of the timesheets.
His 1:19.575 proved to be unbeatable despite a late charge from McLaren's Lewis Hamilton. The Brit's 1:19.623 was 0.048s off the pace.
Heikki Kovalainen finished up in third place ahead of Kimi Raikkonen, Robert Kubica and Alonso.
Sebastian Vettel and Nelson Piquet Jr completed the top eight ahead of David Coulthard, who is competing in his final British GP having announced he will be retiring at the end of the season.
