What is the best, or funniest, excuse from the fabled Racing Drivers Book of Excuses that you have heard?

With some apologies to mattikake I am going to nominate his excuse on behalf of Lewis in qualli today (emboldened below) - I suspect that you will not have heard the last of that one mk!

(please dont turn this into a Lewis/Jenson fight anyone ) smile


PS Or a slanging match, for that matter!

Bugger, JB faster than Lewis. Thought there might be a pole there.

Apparently they don't know why he was slower, but he clearly dropped 0.3s in S3. Gust of wind maybe?

He was about that off Button for quite a lot of yesterday, methinks it's to do with that enormous curve onto the long straight where JB has been rather impressive...
Not on a fast lap he wasn't and not through the rest of quali. His Q2 time was a 42.0 in S3 IIRC. Something odd happened on that lap, but he certainly wasn't so smooth on the long corner on the backstraight. Which is why I think a gust of wind may have stopped him being on the front row.

Either way, final quali has not been at all representative of LH's pace...
