Ini ndinoda chaizvo kudzokera kunyika munzvimbo yakajairika, nekuti pane zvakawanda zvekuona nekuita. Kubva pamujaho wekuona, inzira yakanaka chaizvo, inonakidza kutyaira uye inonakidza kuona.
RA - Ndeapi matambudziko anowanikwa nenzira iyi kuvatyairi vendege? Kwakanga kwakaoma zvikuru kugadzirira nhangemutange yegore rapera here, sezvo pasina nongedzero dzamakore apfuura?

Mukuzvidzivirira kwaLewis, hatina kumupa zvinhu zvakasimba gore rino. Akave nekutadza kweinjini kwakawanda, imwe yacho paakanga achitungamira kuMalaysia, izvo zvaigona kunge zvakamupa shasha.
Asi ndinofunga kuti hatina kuita zvakanaka mumijaho mishoma yadarika. Takaedza kudzivisa migumisiro yakaipa uye kuvadzivisa, asi zvakanga zvisina basa. Taifanira kunge takangovarega vachityaira vachirwira mukombe. Uye kana yakapera mukudhumhana, yaibva yaguma nekudhumhana. Taive tanyanya kudzora.
RA - Kuvandudzwa kwekondirakiti naLewis Hamilton kwakashamisa vanhu vazhinji sezvo kwanga kuri kwegore rimwe chete. Uku ndiko kwaiva kuda kwevose vari vaviri here? Izvi zvinoreva here kuti kana Hamilton akahwina kechisere gore rino uno ungave mwaka wekupedzisira webasa rake?
