"My recovery is going well and the doctors are pleased.
I have to look at my career with a five-year view. I considered having surgery, but the doctors have always preferred not to take risks with my treatment.
I would like to return in January. I don’t expect to return and win the Australian Open, I have to be realistic. The results will not worry me in the first tournaments back. I have to take into account my form after so long out.
It wouldn’t bother me if I slipped down to 15th in the world as long as inside I knew was able to continue. I want to be 100 per cent in time for Monte Carlo and the run-up to Roland Garros."

So so so nervous
Jesus, I feel like I’m going to throw up I’m so scared about this goddamn race.
I mean I’m pretty confident he’ll at least find some sort of pace and he won’t be at the back, and yesterday I was secretly pleased with MAL being at the back, but now I’m just terrified because if MAL finishes in front of him, questions will be asked again. And I’m in no fucking mood for questions to be asked because that’s all that’s been happening over the last, idk, FOUR WEEKS.
Just to say, it’s not like his whole career with Williams rests on this race, just the immediate image of him, and our mental sanity.
I wish this a lot but especially today, that you can make something happen by the sure avalanche of emotion towards it happening. Because my god, right now I’d give anything, my house (parents wouldn’t be too happy), my laptop, my ANYTHING to let him finish this race somewhere in P13/12. Not even asking for points he just needs to finish.
I’m not sure I can handle it if he doesn’t.
oh my god
BRUNO SENNA
Here are my requirements for tomorrow
- Don’t crash
- Don’t crash
Dear Rafael Nadal
These are my requirements for tomorrow.
- This is the utmost important one. Do not, and I repeat, do NOT even begin to formulate the thought of a match point (or multiple match points) without knowing you are going to win it. I am not remotely in the mood for a repeat of The Dreaded Semi Final of 2011 that destroyed me for two weeks. I will never forgive you if you repeat your tennis husband’s antics.
- This is the other essential one- not straight sets. Or at least, don’t lose in straight sets. Just… Don’t.
- I am not liking seeing all these matches decided on who makes the least errors. Errors have no place for you in this final tomorrow, yes?
- None of this 50% first serves shit either. 85%, like you like it.
- That’s it.
- loljk one more. Fight it. Don’t go all Andy on me and lose your head, ok? Fight like the champion you are and make me proud.
VAMOS
Ok it’s slowly starting to dawn on me
Whatthefuck
Tommi quit
quit
No.
I am not thinking about this for one more fucking second until we actually know exactly what is going on
My favourites in F1 have been torn up over the last few weeks and months and I am not sure I can handle another one of my partnerships being shattered
Tommi and Seb were my rock
