Browsing through and deleting old text messages on the last train home last night, I had an entertaining time trying to guess what races certain messages between Alex and me referred to, and I thought it would be almost as entertaining to post some here for other people to guess. Here are four, classically vague, examples:

1. surely he can’t have done it deliberately?

2. Indeed. I watched it live. Bad luck for kimi. I did really think they might swap schu and massa. James seemed more annoying than usual and excited. Weird.

3. how bad are those michelins?

4. I’ve finally caught up with events. I do like it when Michael wins.
