You don’t have to worry about whether the car is set up right or not, you know it is, and it’s down to you. Ultimately, that’s what every driver wants.
You always want someone pushing you all the time who is competitive and at the top of their game so you can become a better driver.
I had a full-time driver, or I would take my Bentley. I’d have big houses in the Hamptons for the summer, taking seaplanes or helicopters out. I did a lot of flying privately to Miami. A lot of shopping.
Criminals take advantage of weak laws, like giving driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants.
I think all of my writing life led up to the writing of ‘The Train Driver’ because it deals with my own inherited blindness and guilt and all of what being a white South African in South Africa during those apartheid years meant.
The truth is that the driver in policy is not the relationship between the United States and Cuba, but the relationship between Cubans, and that is far stronger than 50 years of intragovernment hostility.
As a driver, you’ve always got to believe in your heart that you’ve got what it takes to win it. You’ve always got to believe in yourself. You’ve always got to arrive on the day and believe it can happen. You’ve always got to believe in the positives.
My father, a bakery-truck driver, was the epitome of the work ethic that probably kept me knocking out columns six days a week for a rough total of 12,600 over 50 years.
People often talk about the self-driving car and what will that do. In 32 states, the number one job is to be the driver. But remember, it’s not just the driver. Let’s think about the truck stops along the way. When you suddenly have a lot of other people who are dependent on those careers.
If you challenge yourself and try to be the best in all areas, you have to be a complete driver.
Even if the technology advances, I don’t expect we will be allowed to sail around with 400-meter long container ships weighing 200,000 tonnes without any human beings on board. I don’t think it will be a driver of efficiency – not in my time.
I continue to see good growth in the mobile space; I expect to see PCs being the core driver in the home. And I mean that for entertainment along with the work-at-home space.
As soon as I walk outside, I get depressed. If I see a dog, I’ll get upset about how much it must suck to be on a leash. I’ll get on a bus and tear up at the thought of how the driver has to go back and forth on the same street for eight hours in mind-numbing traffic.
No matter how good a driver you are, you have to have the right car and the right team behind you in order to succeed.

My driver is my strongest club – it’s what my game kind of revolves around.

Looking back at ‘Taxi Driver’ or, really, any of the Martin Scorsese films, he really filmed New York City in a way that I saw New York City.
It was not pre-arranged. It just happened that the driver made a demand and I just didn’t feel like obeying his demand. I was quite tired after spending a full day working.
I’m just a race car driver.
I just didn’t look at myself with a lot of confidence. I didn’t think, ‘Man I’m a great driver. Boy, just give me a shot.’
The mess in the world is a strong driver because, at the end of the day, it’s the increasing unacceptability of the divergences and rifts in the world economically, socially, politically, and culturally which lead everybody to say, ‘We have to do something.’
When there is an accident involving fire, in most cases death is caused by the inhalation of the toxic smoke. What we need is air to go to a driver for 45 seconds. I’m surprised that this is not done, and I would make it compulsory.
I would rather have racing without computers. The human side is forgotten, and instead of talking over what’s happening and just trusting the feel of the driver, the data becomes almost more important.
I was born and brought up in Liverpool with my clever little sister Jemma, who is 14 and wants to be a vet. My mum Jane is an administrator and my dad Peter is a taxi driver.

I’m a really good driver. I’ve been driving since I was very small, and I do like driving fast. I remember the first time my dad taught me that when you go into a corner you change down then put your foot right down on the way out. I’m very competitive about driving.
My dad was very much a struggling actor and spent more of his life as a postman, as a member of a tarmac firm, as a van driver.
When we went into World War II, I was a tractor driver then. I drove tractors on the plantation. So when they start calling people my age, 18, up, I was one they called.
Of course my dad went to Formula One, so I think that my dad is the better driver of the two. But I think, for a girl, my mom was not too bad, of course.
My last audition for ‘Baby Driver,’ I had to meet with Jon Hamm and go through the scenes. I was a bit nervous: ‘What if Jon Hamm dislikes me? This is the end.’ I also watched ‘Mad Men’ religiously, so that didn’t help with my nerves.
It’s very, very difficult to reinvent yourself when you’re 40 or 50, whether you are a taxi driver who now needs to become a web designer, or anything else. It just becomes more difficult and more scary.
The postman wants an autograph. The cab driver wants a picture. The waitress wants a handshake. Everyone wants a piece of you.
Our current identification system is so disjointed that the World Trade Center terrorists had a total of 63 valid driver’s licenses between them.
I wouldn’t say I am the most popular driver among the drivers, but I don’t need to be. What matters to me is the results and what the stewards say.
I think people should be given a test much like driver’s tests as to whether they’re capable of being parents!
I’ve done everything. I’ve been ring crew, I’ve been driver for a blind promoter, I’ve been a valet, I’ve been a referee, I’ve been a ring announcer, I’ve been a corporate officer, play-by-play man, blah, blah, blah. No one has been on my journey.

As a racing driver, everything you do is to get to Formula 1 and one day it stops.
The first thing you do before you take a swing with a driver is put it down and see how it looks to your eye. If you don’t like how it looks, it’s going to be difficult to hit a good shot.
Most of the population cannot afford a private driver. What we’re doing is relentlessly innovating to bring the price point down.
If I run I lose so much weight, which I need because you’re limited on weight when you are a tall driver. And have you seen marathon runners? They’re quite skinny.
I first saw Walter Hill’s second film, ‘The Driver,’ as a teenager, late at night on the BBC, quite possibly sitting too close to the telly. Given that this 1978 slice of neo-noir takes place almost entirely in the dark streets of a deserted downtown L.A., it’s really a perfect midnight movie.
I talk often about being intrinsically motivated by learning. It’s the primary driver of most of my activity.
Sometimes, I really miss living in Vancouver, getting picked up by my driver, Uncle Gary.
I grew up in Birmingham, but my parents are originally from Barbados. My dad, Romeo, was a long-distance lorry driver, and my mother, Mayleen, worked in catering.
Sometimes I get frustrated in traffic. I typically start going deep with my cab driver and Twitter feed – simultaneously – to take my mind off the gridlock. I enjoy live-tweeting my cab rides.
I had to take the driver’s test twice. And they don’t make you parallel park anymore, but you can’t hit the curb when you’re backing up. And I hit the curb.
When we grew up, we couldn’t wait to get our hands on cars, work with them, change the look of them. Now you see kids being like, ‘I’ll just take the Uber,’ or ‘Oh, I don’t even have my driver’s license yet.’ I’m like, ‘Ugh, who are you people?’
I was a horrible limo driver: I ran out of gas with passengers in the back and I used to get lost on a regular basis.
It’s been 23 years since the last Swede in Formula One, so for me to be the next F1 driver at all these races around the world has been amazing.
