Modest Lewis

Brilliant - in what must have been a 2 minute interview. I especially like the "but let's not forget" bit in the last quote ; )

Remind me - did he come from GP2 and finish second in the championship?

" if you think about it, coming from GP2, who would have thought I'd be ranked number two in my first year of Formula 1."

"I've come from GP2 and now I am ranked number two in the world which is positive. I really can't wait for next year. I know we can do a better job. "

" I finished second in the World Championship, I beat my team mate, under extremely difficult circumstances I beat the two time World Champion, that was the goal a the beginning so that's a great result."

"but let's not forget it's been an incredible season for me and to come into my first season in Formula 1 and finish a rank number two. I'm the number two driver in the world, that's - that's pretty awesome "

One of my Dad's friends had a similar level of confidence when, in the early 80s when ordering takeaway food, he would give his name as "BMW".

It's not so bad saying it once, twice even.

But to say it four times in such a short interview is quite amusing.

The interview was originally on the Mclaren website - at the bottom of the page here:
