I, You, He / She / It, We, You, They
I don’t know about anybody else, but I don’t find personal pronouns that difficult. If you’re talking about yourself you say I, if you’re talking to someone, it’s you. If you didn’t learn this from speaking out loud your whole life, then you’ll probably have learnt it practicing some verb tables.
Whilst the action at Valencia kept us all talking about what happened in the pit lane, I was more interested in what those in the pit lane were talking about.
I’ve found something slightly fascinating about the personal pronouns the drivers used over the weekend. For the longest time, we have had to listen to the corporate line from teams and drivers. Sharing in the joy and the pain in equal measures.
Now it seems things are changing, and as the competition hots up, all this “It’s not you, it’s me” business seems to be over. My first example is Raikkonen, who is still bemoaning his lack of pace going into a Grand Prix.
We need to get things sorted in qualifying…
Yes, you do, Kimi. Okay, perhaps this can be excused because it may just be a mechanical problem that means he hasn’t qualified on pole since France. I think perhaps he knows that it is something he needs to sort out himself though. The team certainly believe that Raikkonen has his own issues to sort out.
