Qualifying for the UEFA Champions League group stage was a big thing in Israel.
Eran Zahavi
I train to quite an intense level because Formula 1 is so physical – the G-forces, the demands on your body. Your heart rate is 150, 160 through the whole race. On qualifying lap, your heart rate can be up to 180, 190, under tough conditions.

Alton Brown
I am one of the best to have raced in F1. I am probably not fastest in qualifying, or the wet, but I am 9.5 in all areas. I try to benefit from that.
Fernando Alonso
We’ve never really been susceptible to pressure from anyone from the outside. We’ve been really good at negating any outside influences. We’re really hard on ourselves. The filter that we put upon things qualifying to end up on a Tool record is pretty extreme, so we figure we’ve got that part of it under control.

Gareth Southgate

Tom Wolfe

Oscar Pistorius
I kind of look up to Lewis, not as a hero, but as a very good driver who is very fast. Everyone has to admire his pace, especially in qualifying. He is a driver I support, in terms of him being British, and I want him to win, but he isn’t an idol to me.
Lando Norris
