I’m sorry I thought I didn’t need my wallet as I was told my meal was being paid for by the Red Bull hospitality budget

“Yes, Nyck De Vries bought me the ticket here. No, Monza’s next weekend isn’t it? Why do you ask?”

I don’t think your tips on how to be an immature foul mouthed bully will help me next season.”

As Gordon Ramsey relays the menu to Alex, Romain Grosjean is making preparations in the kitchen.

Sorry Gordon we don’t have any catering jobs at Williams, I hear Red Bull have a big catering budget though.

‘No raw stuff for me’ – I couldn’t really come up with anything more creative, but truthfully, I hope the entire occasion involving F1 people dining got filmed for the HK series so that I could enjoy the hilariousness involved at some point.

Now I’m sorry sir, but this is the last time I will tell you to %@*$ off. This isn’t a merit based restaurant, someone has paid for this seat.

Alex: “Yeah, yeah, Innovations Award for Gordon, that’s what I heard. The FIA will give you a trophy. On Sunday, don’t forget it’s a black tie event, no weird skirts”.
Gordon: “I’ve never, ever, ever, ever met someone I believe in as little as you”.

“So what happens is, I go into a well-established but failing business and yell at them until they start to get things right.”
“That’s great, Alex, but I just asked to take your order.”

GR: Alex, I see that you haven’t ordered anything at all?
AA: Yeah, I’m hearing that 2023 Williams is going to be overweight again. So really need to weigh like paper this time if I have to have any hope to get into top 10 finishers.

Gordon Ramsay had to come out personally to remind drivers their steaks do not come “medium-softs”.

Even with the lack of tyre tests, drivers weren’t too keen to learn pirelli had taken the opportunity to supply their C1 C2 and C3 “steaks”.

Don’t tell me to $#@-+n chill Alex, that’s for bloody wine. And I don’t ,$&-(*!$@ care if he’s your mate or not if he doesn’t put that phone away I’m gonna rip it off him and shove it &__ up your .&_&&-+$.

The drivers were really keen to find out more about the Michelin star system, until Gordon explained to Alex it wasn’t about tyres.

Alex asked Gordon if his restaurant had at least 5 Pirelli Stars since he was contractually forbidden from using Michelins, and he didn’t want to run out before the meal was over.
Pfff

Ramsay – “You were bland, under seasoned and under cooked at Red Bull… and Max still ate you for breakfast”
Albon – “Have you met Nicky Latifi?”
