Brilliant. Was it a free pass or with a penalty?
In F1 there’s a lot of incomplete passes these days.

Daniel: Lando I think I got a chance to play for Green Bay Packers. Do think I would be better than Arron Rodgers?
Lando: I think you would play better than Arron Rodgers since you only got sacked once and Arron got sacked too many times.

Daniel clung to the hope that Lando would slip up in 2022, but there was no way Norris was going to drop the ball.

DR: Watch the ball mate, not my shoes! Only I can pull off wearing brogue ankle boots over a track pant without even breaking a sweat.
LN: Do you also wear them during race day?
DR: May be (chuckles)
LN: Well, all the best cooling your heels after 2022 F1 season. Wear them to bath too if you want!
DR: (talking to himself) Yeah, like hell! Will drive past you in an RBR in one of these races and you keep wondering what was me wearing.
