• "You have to love Ferrari winning at Monza and that podium and the mass, the biomass down the straight and all singing the Italian national anthem."
• "The reality is, would this strategy have worked? Was the graining too extreme? Was the McLaren never going to recover from that graining because they were harder on the tires?"
• "Can one fault Oscar for trying to win? Don't we like it when drivers have that fighting spirit?"
• "A team of this caliber to, know, papaya rules, that seems awful sophomoric to me."
• "Oscar knows that. Lando knows that. McLaren know that."
• "If you're a McLaren or you're Oscar fan, you should be like, that's pretty, pretty, pretty good shit right there."
• "If Alonzo was in a McLaren now, a Ferrari now, Mercedes, he'd be in amongst it."
• "Ferrari's one stopper with Charles."
• "The drift. Yeah, he was doing some hooning out there."
