While there’s nothing really going on – contrary to popular belief, Formula 1 testing doesn’t count – there’s been plenty of time to pick over the week’s quotes. Here are four of the best.

“NASCAR and IndyCar could be a possibility, but obviously I don’t have sponsors.”
- Jarno Trulli (via AUTOSPORT.com)

Jarno Trulli has been refreshingly realistic about his departure from Caterham, hasn’t he? If he had sponsors, of course, he wouldn’t have lost his seat to Vitaly Petrov.

“Slim to none.”
- Bernie Ecclestone (via @byronf1)

That was Bernie Ecclestone‘s assessment of the likelihood of Formula 1 teams getting more money from the commercial rights holder, though he did tell The Mirror’s Byron Young that they were “right” to ask for it. Curious chap.

“I’m so small and also alone!! damn it !!”
- Kamui Kobayashi (via @kamui_kobayashi)

Kamui Kobayashi hasn’t been on Twitter very long, but he’s already proving exceptional value. This was one of a series of tweets from his hotel room for testing this week. His assessment of new white towels is equally unmissable.

“I like to collect trophies.”
- Sebastian Vettel (via James Allen on F1)

Well that’s a happy coincidence. The latest for Sebastian Vettel was the Silver Bay Laurel Leaf from the President of Germany. As you do.
