“I didn't sing that because I would describe myself as a Schlawiner,” says Sainz. “As I said, I didn't even know used to be 'Gentle Operator'. When I understood that, I got the idea to build it around me as a kind of joke.”

I heard it there, and it's a very famous tune,” explains Sainz. Sainz had already tuned him in after the race at Silverstone – which the director of the TV world signal hadn't noticed.
