I find myself very excited as well, and actually more than usual. I think I have been a pain in the neck because I have been running through the factory and on the workshop floor all the time going: ‘Come on, come on, come on! Let’s go!’

So let me get this straight. The one area of the race where Honda can absolutely, positively not hold them back they stop practicing? You might be able to pick up half a second or more if you have a good pit stop compared to a shitty one and maybe stay ahead of some of the slower cars. Especially if your driver is worth 6 tenths or whatever ridiculous number it is now.

I was surprised they picked up EB from Lotus or Renault or whatever it was called back then. Even back then he reminded me of Comical Ali.
