There was a cheeseburger that I really liked the look of, just out of shot…. I swear I’m not that soft 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The time has come to hang up my race suit… 15 years of racing as a mechanic, 13 Formula One seasons, 233 Grands Prix, 4 World Drivers' Championships, 2 World Constructors' Championships & 7 consecutive pitstop awards... it's a career that I'm incredibly proud to look back

Walk through Abu Dhabi airport, with the whole team….they decide they need to search my bags, just me….every single year, same shit! I wonder why it’s just me 🤔

Are we still allowed to swear in the garage? I’m concerned that our community service hours are gonna go through the roof this week! 🤬🤬🤬

This is why so few people in the paddock interact on here by the way. Bs opinions like this. It’s embarrassing. Average salary for an F1 Tech is closer to £60k by the way. The average working week is about 70 hours. Most fly economy, and nobody gets paid more for being on

A woman just genuinely came over to us in the pitlane while recovering Checos car and said “My dad said I could have a piece of the car” 🤦🏾‍♂️ #monacogp

Are the stewards about to make a new penalty?! “Scaring another driver off the track” 😅 Just let them race, they’re all grown ups ffs.

Tomorrow is my daughters 6th Birthday, so if you see me in the paddock looking miserable, don’t take it personally 🤣 Triple-headers suck

That’s a wrap! Only beaten by Singapore 🤷🏾‍♂️ What an incredible year. I doubt it will ever be replicated but as always we’ll relish the challenge. Extremely proud to have been a part of it ❤️ #F1

I feel for both McLaren drivers today, but I have to say, this policy of “two No.1’s” was always going to suck for both of them.. Lando did absolutely nothing wrong today, got unlucky with a bad pitstop (that’s racing), and then gets booed on the podium because of a decision
