The 2011 Formula One season is over; long live Bernie Ecclestone. The cars have been packed away, and the drivers are headed back home to Monaco or wherever. We've posted the final Crayola depiction and the world has said its piece. Almost.
Commenter Angryokie, displaying a good-commenting practice we're calling AAV — always add value — decided to compile some quotes from the F1 season finale at Interlagos. The point being, you don't always have to be the cleverest bastard at the pub to get the commentary nod, wink wink.
Here are my favorite quotes from the season finale weekend at
The 2011 Formula One Brazilian GP"...like a true road circuit, giving you the impression you're actually going somewhere." - Bob Varsha
"That's what they call an 'early apex' that, Steve." - David Hobbs
"Petrov gave an interview...where he was less than pleased..." - Matchett
"He pretty much dragged the team up and down the pit lane." - Varsha
"He didn't like the sandwiches, the coffee was cold..." - Matchett"Well, everybody has a bodyguard in Brazil." - Bob Varsha
"Oh, don't let the facts get in the way of a good story, David." - Bob Varsha
"...you come out of the blocks with something of a dog and you can never make it up." - Steve Matchett

And one other observation, is it more irony or unhappy coincidence the the Nova Schin logo looks a lot like the Schlitz logo?
