I set the fastest lap on the final lap at Monza just to prove I can handle the pressure

Putting in the fastest lap of the race on the last lap when the victory's in my hands, that for me was like a little like, just to say, like, guys, I did not feel the pressure this whole time. Just for my peace of mind, I'm going to set the fastest lap to say I told you so.

This is a subjective reflection on his own performance and motivation.

Taylor Heinicke has 'it'

I think Taylor Heinicke has it. I don't know what it is. He's got something. He's got it. The Heineking is what they're calling him.

Heinicke became a cult hero in DC but eventually settled back into a journeyman/backup role, suggesting he had the moxie but lacked the high-end talent to be a franchise savior.

Standalone primetime NFL games that look bad on paper are almost always guaranteed to be awesome

If anything we've learned with the NFL... when you have a game that you say to yourself, this game stinks, it's a standalone primetime game. It is almost always guaranteed to be fucking awesome. Because that game ruled. It was chaos.

This is a subjective 'rule of thumb' about sports entertainment that can't be objectively proven.

Daniel Jones is the fastest player in the NFL

He's the fastest player in the NFL that's what next gen stats taught us last year he was faster than Lamar Jackson

While Jones did record the fastest top speed in 2020 (21.23 mph), he is not consistently the fastest player compared to Tyreek Hill or Lamar Jackson.

Red Bull is my family and where I truly belong in F1

Now going back like full circle to Red Bull... it's like, oh, like, yeah, this is, this is the family. Like this is where, you know, I, I'm happy to come home to and where I feel like I truly belong.

This is a personal feeling about his career path.

I am 'mojacked' than Tyrann Mathieu

I think I'm definitely mojacked than Tyrann. I respect the fact that you said that. I'm actually glad you said it, but I don't think he would agree. I feel I would get squashed in an instant, but...

Tyrann Mathieu is a pro football safety; Ricciardo is a lean F1 driver. It's meant as a joke.

If I could do it all over again, I might not choose to be an F1 driver because of the lack of control

If I could do it all over again, like, I don't know if I would pick this sport [F1] because there's so many other variables and so much out of your control. So you could perform perfectly and something might end it for you.

This is an internal personal reflection on career choice and cannot be verified.
