Dillon Gabriel on Jared Verse wearing number 8:
"Yeah, I was kind of hoping he would pay me for my number. But then he just started wearing it in practice."
#F1 | Lewis Hamilton on what inspired him to start the end of season dinners:
“It must be like three or four years ago now. I know [the drivers] we see each other at least once a week when we're at the race track, and we do the drivers' briefing. And then we do the drivers' parade, and that's when everyone talks, but I don't really engage a huge amount with people there.”
“In my mind, I'm there for one reason and that's to win, not to make conversation and talk about holidays, because that's what they talk about, or gaming. “
“So I set up this dinner and I asked them all at a drivers' briefing in Mexico. I said, "Look, I was thinking of putting this together. Will you come?" And they all accepted.”
“It's a really amazing night. Each time, we're all sitting next to a different driver, perhaps someone we're not as close to, because there are drivers that are closer to other drivers. It forces real, fun conversation.”
“We're all so competitive with each other and we all want to win. It creates a cool moment for us to just have a laugh. You get to see some of the really cool, fun characters, things that you didn't know about the individuals as well, because you usually see them with a visor on.”
