"Man" - Lewis Hamilton

 

 

= I know this will get broadcast and I want to sound 'cool' (in a 1970's Starsky & Hutch type way)

"Man" - Lewis Hamilton

Tragically I call anyone male "man" in the real world, even my Uni lecturers and my Father.

I'm a dude kind of dude myself, but I can go for some man if the vibe is right.

Wait, hang on...

[P0inters]

I remember a couple of years ago when ''you know'' was what Vettel always use to say. He doesn't really say it anymore thank God.

No, he now copies Schumacher's catch phrases like "obviously"

[ATM_Andy]

Pitchforth was my faverout, he, without fail, opened every sentence with "notwithstanding" it's very infectious.

[DanardiF1]

Is "for sure" gone..- everyone used to say this 5/6 years ago..

 

Maybe in F1 it's not as prevalent, but it's infected the wider world of motorsport... I'm pretty sure I heard 'For Sure' more times than I've heard it in total from F1 drivers over the Le Mans 24 Hours this year... every time Eurosport cut to the pits to talk to a driver/team manager/anyone it was said...

[john_smith]

"six one tenths of a second".

 

that would be six tenths of a second then. you don't say "six one slices of toast" do you?

[LewDaMan]

"New boots" or "shiny new boots." Dreadful.

 

Jonathan Legard "This could be crucial."

 

Ben Edwards: "Going deep."

 

And various examples of Vettel's hysteria: "That's what I'm talking about!" An irritating German using an irritating Americanism = crass beyond words.

 

Vettel: "I love you guys." Sebastian Vettel aged 27 going on 17.

"Man" - Lewis Hamilton

Same for "mate" with Webber and his engineer.

[holiday]

"Interesting". "It will be interesting." "Things get interesting."

 

All-purpose word. Could mean almost anything.

I don't see anything wrong with Hamilton saying "man", if anything it's rather un-F1.

[sennafan24]

 

 

Vettel: "I love you guys." Sebastian Vettel aged 27 going on 17.

He ways "unbelievable" a lot. He kind of reminds me of this guy

 

[LoudHoward]

Webber: "Very, very..." followed by a mix of different idioms in a jumble.

 

Legard: "Pushing on a charge there!"

 

Ciaran Pilbmean (I think he started it): "He's going to cliff soon."

 

Mark Blundell (Monaco 2008 IIRC): "...stagnant yellow flags..." 

 

Some terms I've really only come across from F1, "high deg", "lateral g", and "get within DRS range!"

My first recollection of "for sure" was in southern California:

 

"Okay fine, fer sure fer sure

 She's a valley girl . . ."

Jonathan Legard "This could be crucial."

 

If I remember correctly, Legard had a big collection of phrases of which all of his actual commentary consisted of. Sort of like a computer game commentary. 

 

"Up the hill."

"Is it good enough?"

 

and so on.

[Dunc]

I think "sat" in that instance is used as a statial adjective rather than a verb, so it seems correct to me, or at least not horribly wrong.

 

I don't think it is wrong per se, for the reasons you've highlighted, but it does sound quite awkward.  'He's sitting in the car' would be better.

 

'That's not correct.'  - I don't like this.

So happy we don't have to put up with that oddball any more!

 

Up the hill

Down the hill

Into the corner

Round the bend

Along the straight

<driver> is on a charge

Really charging now

There could be a problem here

There's a problem there

Oh and now there's another problem

That's a real problem for <driver>

Not good enough

Not good enough

Not good enough

Still not good enough

 

Yes Jonathan we know nobody can match the Brawn now shut the **** up!!!!

[DutchQuicksilver]

"He's a sitting duck" became very popular with the BBC commentators last year. I believe DC started with it?

[Peter Perfect]

No, he now copies Schumacher's catch phrases like "obviously"

Speaking of which...

 

[Jon83]

'Vettel is charging'

 

'Its lights out and away we go'

 

'Toggle KERS'

I forgot about this one "it was a very difficult race..."
