The commentator and his colleagues enjoyed a moment of respite ahead of a busy weekend at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza.

The name is particularly apt given that its namesake, Alex Palou is currently, embroiled in legal difficulties surrounding a potential driving contract with McLaren itself.
Croft and his team were able to see the funny side, and the commentator singled out Brookes’ speed with a pen as he crowed that the team had beaten his colleague Simon Lazenby on a tie break.
Writing about the victory on Instagram alongside a photo of the triumphant ‘Tears on my Palou’ team, Croft wrote: “Winners!!!! It was a triumphant evening for ‘Tears on my Palou’ at the McLaren Pub Quiz beating Simon Lazenby and his team on a tie break!!!
“If you’re ever in need of a quiz team member by the way, turns out that Rachel Brookes can write down answers faster than the speed of sound and still get them right … Thanks to the McLaren comms team for a brilliant night.”
