Its just a "lost in translation" moment due to how non-native colloquialisms/idioms are stored/remembered. Having dated someone who wasn't a native English speaker I know that to remember colloquialisms/idioms non-native speakers will often translate them into their native tongue (because its easier to assimilate new information that way). However when an opportunity to re-use the colloquialism/idiom presents itself, what actually comes out is essentially a translation of a translation. If you've ever tried using Google translate to translate something from English into a different language then back into English you'll know the results may not be what you expected. Hence something like "I can't believe those words were put into my mouth" can become "I can't believe that ended up in my mouth".

The thought that Maldonado is technically more successful than Hulk is....

[@Nikelaos_Khristianos]

Ah, but you see, success is relative. Hulkenberg is one of the most respected drivers in F1 at the moment. Maldonado is not.

[@the4thviewer28]

Esteban Gutierrez and his “What was that??” Moment when he was flipped by Maldonado.

[@FightingTorque411]

Agreed on that, but one thing he's totally forgotten for is an *amazing* move at Monaco that year - in the heavy rain near the start, going around the outside of Raikkonen's Ferrari, in a Haas, at Massenet into Casino Square. It's an incredible pass, the sort Senna would be lauded for, but bar a brief clip on one "highlights of the year" video, it's nowhere to be seen.

Markus Winkelhock - Leading the first laps of the race thanks to an outpur of rain, 2007 European GP. I also have some vague memory an F1 driver was paid to go slow on purpose in order to show the sponsors on the car while being lapped, does anyone remember that more precisely?

Sutil had 2 memorable moments, neither of which are good Monaco 2008, running 4th in the worst car on the grid before the defending champion crashes into him And then Japan 2014 where he watched the Bianchi crash right in front of him…

[@RBenjo21]

I watched Malaysia 2002 the other day, Enrique Bernoldi was an excellent defensive driver - at Sepang he was able to keep Michael Schumacher’s Ferrari behind him for 3 laps.

[@SuperNinety-Three]

You must be kidding when you said that you remember Maurício for a wreck than for his podium on home grand prix earlier that year with a March

[@tea_lover_418]

You missed the biggest one, Markus Winkelhock. He drove only one race for Spyker in 2007. The grid was forming in variable conditions. The track was dry on the formation lap, but rain started pouring down when the first cars were lining up. Winkelhock, starting from basically the back of the grid, pitted on the formation lap for wet weather tyres. The races had a chaotic opening lap which saw drivers spin off from the damp track. Shortly after the first lap Winkelhock had taken the lead of the race which he kept until lap 7.

[@AttilatheThrilla]

Honestly Alonso will be remembered by me for crawling out of that completely demolished F1 car without a scratch... I thought he was a superhuman after that.

[@rumblefish9]

I remember Alonso's superb 2012 season. Nobody could pull that off than Alonso. To lead and almost win the championship with the 4th fastest car on the grid is legendary.

[@SomeYouTubeGuy]

The moment when he proved he's exactly the same as all of us. "I saw a gap and I thought I will go out quick as my Mum will be watching and I want her to know that I am okay"
