Well, remember the out-of-nowhere glory that was Brawn! Will you change your name to McLatSock if Nando wins the WDC?

I will if Button wins it! Hell, I'll change it to ButtSock. Toxx me.

Was that picture photoshopped in any way or do they both just have huge melons?

Looking at it closer, it looks like Alonso is biting his lip. "That's it, just keep smiling... and 3... 2... 1..." cameraman leaves the room and they start fighting, turning into a cartoon tornado.

What a racist garbageman team, no surprise that they had to kick out Alonso at the honest and respectful institution that is Ferrari, which just wouldn't put up with such an attitude.

I guarantee the only thing keeping the smile on Alonso's face is thinking about his contract. Or that the photo shoot is almost over and he can go back to wearing properly fitting clothes instead of Generic Gray McLaren Suit #301f-4.

Alonso is like Jean Alesi now, if Jean Alesi had started to make disastrous career decisions after winning two WDCs.

Shut up, Nick! You're not Twilight.
I wonder if they have a closet full of those suits somewhere at the headquarters. All meticulously labeled, dry cleaned and placed on hangers.Ready to be issued to everyone attending a press conference in case they show up in inappropriate attire. Kind of like how some fancy restaurants have loaner jackets.

McLaren definitely have a closet somewhere because Lewis has been trapped in it for years.

Ferrari only started being poo poo once notable fraud champion Fernando Alonso joined. Now they have 4 times fair and square WDC winner Sebastian Vettel to fix all the things Alonso hosed up at Ferrari.

That's Jenson's gently caress you to Ron for trying to force him out of the team.

You aren't paying close enough attention. Ron did a thread count of all outfits and arranged them symmetrically by thread count.

It's a shame past performance is generally meaningless, because statistically speaking Button has won 100% of WDCs in years when he thought he might not even be in F1.

Alonso has been within 1 point of the championship 100% of the time he's been in a McLaren.

Both of these things can remain true and I will be a happy man.

I'm still slightly bemused by the various arguments that Button is too old and should have been dropped. If he's dropped then the new oldest driver on the grid is... Fernando Alonso, a mere year younger.

i've been watching some of these f1.com race edits and ricciardo says the kinds of things that are endearing now but will certainly be annoying as gently caress when he inevitably dominates a season

"nice job big homies" is a notable example, as is "that's how it's done ladies"
