F1 Caption Game 2023 - SAUDI ARABIAN GRAND PRIXFormula 1

[SVT Cobra GT]

Checo, Max and Pierre all wait for Yuki to shut up and hand out the beers from the back of the truck.

 

[XJ40]

The lads weren't convinced about Yuki's new motorhome, with the innovative underfloor sleeping compartment.

 

[Liquid]

Max Verstappen is unimpressed as, in the spirit of Halloween, Yuki Tsunoda insists on explaining his Pierre Gasly -> Pierre Haunter -> Pierre Gengar joke.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Gasly: "Theez tailgate party eez... how you say... zee total sausage fest, no?"

Tsunoda: "Nani?"

 

[Pezzarinho17]

Verstappen: "A year ago, we lost. All of us. We lost friends. We lost family. We lost a part of ourselves. Today, we have a chance to take it all back. You know your teams, you know your missions. Get Hamilton, lock him in the back. One round trip each. No mistakes. No do-overs. Most of us are going somewhere we know, that doesn't mean we should know what to expect. Be careful. Look out for each other. This is the fight of our lives. And we're going to win. Whatever it takes. Good luck."

Tsunoda: "He's pretty good at that."

Gasly: "Right?"

 

[Jimlaad43]

TSU: Oh no, we forgot the Bier, Pierre
GAS: Are Yukidding me?

Yuki making the same face he did when Pierre made him eat snails and frogs legs.

 

[Touring Mars]

Pierre: So where's this ultra-expensive "nano-sushi" you promised us?
Tsunoda: It's right here...

 

[Famine]

Come on Yuki, you know the rules. You drew the short straw, you've got to take a dump in Megan Thee Stallion's truck.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Come on Yuki, you know the rules.

And so do I...

 

[MaxAttack]

And so do I...

A 2 year contract's what I'm thinking of...

 

[Jimlaad43]

A 2 year contract's what I'm thinking of...

You wouldn't get this from any Gunther Steiiin...

EXCLUSIVE: here we see a possible sighting of the elusive street artist Banksy

 

[Blitz24]

Fernando is trying his hand at a new sport, spray paint racing, after hearing some chants of "Felipe is faster than you" over the past few weeks.

 

[Touring Mars]

Never mind the paint fumes, the mask is because Esteban had the spicy burrito for lunch...

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

Alonso: "Remember Esteban, it's Grove Street 4 Lyf!"

 

[Pezzarinho17]

El Plan takes shape...

"This is genius Fernando! Mercedes keep a tight watch over the cars, but who is watching the lorries during the session! We can repaint and swap the trucks themselves en route to Brazil!"

 

[MaxAttack]

Alonso: So, Michael, confirm? Is ok if I paint outside the lines?

 

[XJ40]

Alonso makes a few alterations to the technical drawings for the Haas VF21.

 

[Jimlaad43]

As another Alpine truck is condemned after positive COVID tests by its occupants, the doctors draw a Plague Cross on another door.

 

[desmodan]

Hey . Esteban . How do you spell No. 2 driver ?

 

[Liquid]

"Mmm, nice smell. Alpine fresh."

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Alonso: "No, Esteban. Make the happy clouds. Happy clouds! Like this!"

 

[Famine]

Davide Brivio [offscreen]: "What's this then? 'Romanes eunt domus'? 'People called Romanes they go the house'?"
