We must be part of the general staff at the inception, rather than the ambulance drivers at the bitter end.
Was I involved in selling drivers licenses to people illegally? Hell no I wasn’t. Would I have tolerated it? Hell no.
Usually when I talk with other drivers, it’s about past races, what they did, tips for different tracks, especially others in the Ford family.
My target is to win the World Drivers Championship. I want to be the best.
When two drivers curse each other on the road, and one of them happens to be a Jew, you can’t define that as anti-Semitism.
When minimum living wages, bargaining for fair wages, pensions, and job security are denied in too many countries, it is not rocket science to understand the drivers of inequality.
There is still too much pressure on short-termism in terms of the drivers of success.
I’m one of the slowest drivers on the road. I mosey along. If you’re doing anything too fast, including living life too fast, that creates sudden death. If I have to be somewhere on time, I make sure I leave early enough.
When lorry drivers come up behind me and I’m cycling, innocently keeping to my side of the road, and they decide because they are so big, and their lorry is so powerful, and they just want to clear me out of the road, and they hoot aggressively, then I do see red a bit. I do.
All I understand is that Toro Rosso is there with Red Bull-backing, which is a team to promote young drivers. And it stands that after three years, you’re not really a young driver anymore and that they need to keep feeding the programme with young drivers.
Americans are falling out of the middle class, not into it. And they deserve relief. I absolute support extending the Bush tax cuts for those who work the hardest and invest the most in our economy – the real drivers of American growth, the middle class.
All space projects push the frontiers of technology and are drivers of innovation.
Once upon a time, I was morbidly sensitive about the impertinence born of sociology. Taxi drivers would not stop for me after dark; white girls jogged to keep ahead of my shadow thrown at their heels by the amber street lamps. Part of me didn’t blame them, but most of me was hurt.
Whereas most technologies tend to automate workers on the periphery doing menial tasks, blockchains automate away the center. Instead of putting the taxi driver out of a job, blockchain puts Uber out of a job and lets the taxi drivers work with the customer directly.
In a lot of action films, a lot of guys are driving muscle cars or vintage cars, whereas in reality, a lot of getaway drivers would actually choose, like, commuter cars and find a way to blend into freeway traffic as quickly as possible.
Women are a dynamic economic force. We represent the largest consumer market in the world and are drivers of GDP. More and more companies recognize that when they support women as customers, employees, leaders, future investors and partners, they are adopting sound business strategies and advancing social progress.
It turns out that one of the biggest drivers of investors are both successful and non-successful startup founders.
The two things I’ve been told most often since my career took off – by taxi drivers, lifelong friends and everyone in between – have been, ‘Don’t ever change, Margot’ and ‘You can’t do that anymore, Margot.’
You need to let the drivers go for it, and if they bang wheels, too bad. It’s fun, it’s a good show, the fans are up in the grandstands, and they can scream and shout about it… that’s good; that’s what you want.
I spend a fair amount of time chatting to black cab drivers in London.
My father was an urchin that lived in Hell’s Kitchen. He was part of a family of nine. I mean, there were times that were better and worse, but mostly, by the time we got to L.A., they’d lost whatever they had. And it was a sad time. And both he and I became truck drivers for different companies.
I would say that if there is one thing we could have done better in the last 10 years under my watch, is when we launched what we called ‘the new car.’ It is now called the Gen-5. We just didn’t get the collaboration we needed to get from the industry, the owners, the drivers, the engineers and car manufacturers.
I believe the biggest challenge is just getting the courage to try something different or new. Try to forget the stereotype in your mind. Yoga is for everyone – children, athletes, moms, dads, accountants, truck drivers, even country stars.
Though little known in the U.S., the Dakar is a sports juggernaut in Europe, where France’s state broadcasting company runs more than 25 hours of coverage, and the leading drivers and riders are accorded the same status we give to Super Bowl quarterbacks.
I think social networks are really working for the drivers, because we’re able to talk directly to fans and they get first-hand information. And I think it’s great for the partners as well and the businesses that are involved in Formula One.
The problem is that many people operate on the assumption that NASA should go to Congress every year with hat in hand and justify it every year. Well, I see it as the greatest economic driver that there ever was. Economic drivers don’t need justification.
As I continue to believe that innovation and entrepreneurship are the key drivers to our economic future, it’s frustrating to hear such little cogent discussion around it.
With cab drivers, I always say I’m from Brazil. I don’t say I’m from Israel. It’s happened more than once that someone is blaming me for the government’s policy. And I say, ‘Listen, I live here. I’m a musician. I don’t call the shots.’
You never stop learning in F1. It’s the typical thing that all drivers say, but it’s absolutely true. But also, apart from driving, you learn a bit about the political side of F1. People don’t realise how much there is outside the car.
When I think of a rivalry, I think of two drivers who butt heads.
At Linfox we have zero tolerance. If any alcohol or drugs are found in any drivers’ blood, they are instantly dismissed.
Mustangs are bags of fun too, and they’re pretty practical too so they’re a good option if you’re looking for a cool car. They don’t have many cup holders, but Mustang drivers don’t seem to care too much.
I’m no different from other drivers – my talent is in my brain, not in my right foot.
NASCAR stepped up their safety concepts, and I think the drivers feel NASCAR is doing everything that can be done. So we are a little behind NASCAR in that respect. Someone in NASCAR realized there were certain things that could be done to make it safer. The same thing has to happen in football.
The last time I saw Dad alive, he was in the hospital. He was watching ‘Hell Drivers,’ a crummy B-movie about truckers, on TV and reading the ‘Daily Record.’ This seems scarcely believable, but I actually said, ‘Dad, you’ve not got long to go – don’t you think you should be imbibing the culture a bit more?’
People need to remember that I am the first black driver in F1, so I am obviously going to be different to past drivers.
Anyone can exceed expectations in one way or another and I hope to prove that when I race alongside, not just able-bodied drivers, but the best Touring Car drivers in the UK.
I come from nowhere Brooklyn, New York. Williamsburg, Brooklyn. These days Williamsburg is kind of a hip area, but when I grew up there, the taxi drivers wouldn’t even go over the bridge, it was so dangerous.
That’s a hallmark of NASCAR… We have gotten to where we’ve gotten because we’re able to have the best drivers in the world, the best team owners and then giving them a package that creates the most exciting racing.
As drivers desert the city I find myself clinging more and more to my father’s belief that a man without a car is not really a man.
If we want every car on the road to be a Lyft, we need to make it incredibly convenient for drivers.
Uber has an information advantage, a computational advantage. There’s massive structural advantages to the player who’s smartest about how to deploy cars, where to deploy cars, how to adjust pricing dynamics, how to ensure supply of drivers – the party that understands best the behavior of riders.
Pastor is a driver who doesn’t respect other drivers.
I probably work harder, putting in a lot of time and effort, than a lot of drivers because all I think about, and all I do, is to do with racing, trying to make myself a better driver.
Autonomous driving provides a scenario where AI can deliver smart tools for assistance in decision-making and planning to human drivers.
You have to tackle the real drivers of debt – that’s mandatory spending, not discretionary.
In Singapore, drivers generally obey the rules, but the attitude around pedestrians is actually quite different. It’s culturally different. People drive safely, but it’s not the same deference shown to pedestrians.
Is that your final answer? Here in New York garbage men, bus drivers, taxi cab drivers, bus drivers, whoever, you know, people just yell it out to me. So that was a lot of fun.
We are much more than just drivers who drive a race car.
You don’t get a mix of ovals and road/street course racing with this level of competition and speed anywhere other than Indy Car, and I think that’s why it has remained a popular choice for so many young drivers.
