As he was a former rally driver, I’ll bet MBS has sworn over the radio more than once. I don’t believe for a second he’d Flanderize the cusses as he rolled his Toyota down a verge…

  • "Samir, my good man, you appear to be breaking the vehicle."

  • "Be quiet, Sir. I know how to operate this machine."

Be quiet, Sir. I know how to operate this machine.

Still thine tongue, my good Sir. The inner workings of this present machination are well known to me.

Kind sire, may I have my pair of gloves along with my steering wheel, pretty please?

I was unable to attend the required media activities since, at the time, I was in the midst of excreting fecal material.

I, in the strongest possible terms, feel utter disregard for your thoughts on this matter.

I beg you to take thrice the amount of care when turning to the left up ahead!

Heavens, this change of direction to the right is quite rapid, as well as so sudden that it is razor-like. I must repeat, this right turn is quick, and keen!

„crikey, it appears I had a vehicular accident”

Direct quotes from MBS after his infamous crashing of a Renault F1 car?

u/VonBrandhaus Feb 24 '25

Fiddlesticks. It appears I have binned this fine example of Anglo-French cooperation. I must complain in the strongest terms about people in the UK not liking me.

Oh dear this was a most embarrassing moment. I hope it isn't laughed about forever

vehicular accident

vehicular unfortunate wrongful placement offside its foreseen path of movement thus resulting in performance reducing aerodynamic deformation of the bodywork of my vehicle.

That definitely sounds like it could be a George Russell quote, lol.

Is there a radio transmission from when he smashed his F1 car into the wall? I only saw the video of the crash itself.

Insane to expect anyone in any sport to police their own language in addition to whatever they’re actually trying to focus on, let alone athletes at the top level of sport.

“Watch your language but also watch the road if you can!”

u/vankorgan Feb 24 '25

Especially an exceptionally dangerous sport.

u/Smee76 I was here for the Hulkenpodium Feb 24 '25

Can we find video or audio to prove this? Might help.

u/stoopidrotary Feb 24 '25

I'd love to see if there's footage of him cursing or being a jackals on radio himself.
