    I admire those who can communicate with us in our language.
    I know I couldn't in their language.
    Be patient if sometimes they make a grammatical error. We still understand what they are saying.

    What do you mean by using a translator?
    Using something like google translate, that even if he used would still have grammar irregularities?
    You are saying he should had called a translator to help him write that?
    Come on man, i think we can tolerate some bad english as long as we can understand what the person wants to say...

    Stormy how old are you or just trolling?

    Never heared from an online translator? They invented them you know...

    Google translator for example is free and easy to use.

    Simply because I had an idea of what he was asking but spelled wierd made me second guess.

    Now I leave this topic for obvious reasons.

    Im aware of Google translate, but Google translate wont solve the problem because google translates with grammar irregularities... it cant translate literally.

    I understood perfectly what he was trying to convey. I even searched for a few minutes but to no avail.
    Forza Ferrari!!

    Do you remember which year he said this quote? Will make it easier to search.

    You have spelled "heard" & "weird" incorrectly.

    Sorry I can't help with the quote from Felipe that you're looking for, but I will agree with racing bradley and say bardzo dobrze for trying to speak and write in English!! I admire anyone who takes the trouble to try and speak a foreign language, as for the Balkan languages, it's pretty much impossible even if I can manage Italian/Spanish/French, and I've just used a Polish dictionary for those two words above! Hope you find the sentence from Felipe but I think maybe he said something a few years ago when another driver (HAM?) took a chance with him and it was nearly a bad accident? Powodzenia!

    Fernando talking about Q1 at Silverstone. “It’s definitely some luck there,” he explained. “As I said, you do the dry tires like Marussia and you are P4, which is fantastic. You do the dry tires and there is this little rain in one corner, and you crash and you are stupid, so it’s a narrow line to be a hero or make a big mistake.

    This is from an interview when he tested for Ferrari at Hockenheim, 4 days after the 2008 British Grand Prix:

    Q: Last year, and sometimes this year also, you seem to be having to prove that you're actually amongst the top drivers. Is that bothering you ?
    Massa: ''Not at all. Not in the first place because I don't need to prove anything to anyone. I have already proven what I have to prove to certain people - and therefore I enjoy the respect I get from the team, like I have respect for the team. I've become acquainted to all the rest that comes along. One day being a racing driver you're a hero, the next you're an idiot. You cannot and should not take that seriously. What I do take seriously is my job and the goal that we want to achieve.''

    Sorry for the mistakes... It will never happen again ;)

    Thank You F2008! :)
