Oscar is really good at interviews, I have to say. Always finds the best possible way to answer tricky questions.

I've not been on for ages but thought I'd mention I just bumped into Adrian Newey and Christian Horner.

Were they together, or you bumped into them separately?

They were together, chatting away and about to go their seperate ways.

It wasn't secretive, I don't think there's anything to read into it.
