The debut season in F1 is obviously very tough but it’s been OK. The aim for me is to stay in Formula One for many years and that’s what we’re working at doing at the moment.
Marcus Ericsson
I think, in general, not only in Formula One but just in a lot of sports, when younger people come in and they do well, there’s always a bit of talk going on. I think that’s pretty normal.
Max Verstappen
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.
Max Verstappen
An all-women championship is giving up on the mission of eventually making girls compete on a high level and against the boys in Formula One. It is undermining what girls are able to achieve.
Susie Wolff
I wanted to make a film that wouldn’t just appeal to Formula One fans. That’s what the great sports documentaries do – ‘Hoop Dreams,’ ‘When We Were Kings’ – they’re human dramas first, sport second, if at all.
Asif Kapadia
I’ve watched ‘Senna’ – a documentary film about a Formula One driver – three or four times now. I’m not a massive Formula One fan but I watch it and think ‘God, what a waste.’
Edith Bowman
You arrive at Formula One being very skeptical, how far can your talent deal with all this, and then you understand those guys are human and pretty reasonable, and finally succeeding in winning your first race, in circumstance as such, it was just an amazing moment.
Michael Schumacher
Every NASCAR driver watches Formula One in the morning; they are well informed.
Mario Andretti
I think I’ve done a fair bit of my talking on the track over the course of the years, leading up to Formula One and Formula One.
Lance Stroll
I understand when people think dressage is boring. But while your standard horse is like driving a Fiesta, our horses are like driving Formula One cars. I can’t breathe without the horse reacting. You are training another being to become really responsive and athletic and powerful.
Lee Pearson
I think that’s a very good point they’re bringing into Formula One at the moment, to get rid of all the electronics. And I think that’s what a Formula One driver needs. That’s why they are a Formula One driver. They need to drive themselves.
Jos Verstappen
Corporate America doesn’t really have an interest in Formula One because there is nothing American in it at this point. It is European and all made by Europeans. Until that changes, the interest isn’t going to be at the level it needs to be.
Alexander Rossi
To be teammates in Formula One actually means you are first rivals, not really mates.
Asif Kapadia
I can’t eat whatever I want, definitely not. I’m always controlled because I do a lot of fitness and triathlons, not just Formula One, so I always make sure I eat the right things.
Jenson Button
In Spain there were no TV rights for Formula One.
Fernando Alonso
The people in the grandstand just want to see good driving, good overtaking. But inside the sport everything is about money and politics. It’s stupid. And I’m not just talking about Formula One. It’s every sport.
Felipe Massa
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.
Marcus Ericsson
I’ll watch a bit of Formula One, and motorcycle racing. I’ve always had an interest in all motorsports, and I still ride bikes.

Felipe Massa
Formula One is what I want to do. But I will go there only if I do a good enough job to attract an offer from a good, competitive, team.
Dario Franchitti
Sponsoring is very important for Formula One and, if a driver can help with it, it’s a help.
Jos Verstappen
I think one thing Liberty finds frustrating is a lot of this business is conducted through the media. That’s something they’re not used to with American sport. There’s that constant comparison of America sport and franchises verses Formula One – American sport works in America, it doesn’t work globally.
Christian Horner
Formula One has been the backdrop of my life.
Tamara Ecclestone
Nothing can really prepare you for when you get in the Formula One car. Knowing that you’re driving a multimillion-dollar car, and if you crash it it’s going to cost a lot of money, and they might not give you another chance, is scary.
Lewis Hamilton
As a Formula One driver, you dream about winning your first race all your life. I am desperate to know what it feels like.
Sergio Perez
The fast, flowing parts, the high-speed corners, that’s where a Formula One car is at its best – changes of direction, pulling high g-forces left and right.
Jenson Button
My goal is to be a racer, and I want to be someone who inspires Americans to watch Formula One.
Alexander Rossi
I think Formula One is – there’s a lot of differences from track to track, grip levels, tyre compound, so you always have to press the reset button and work from scratch again.
Lance Stroll

Formula One is not sport. Formula One is only intense competition between teams where the competition is really the research, the technology.
Alex Zanardi
It’s not much different to Formula One where they are improving the cars constantly. The difference is every hand biker needs a different bike depending on their residual ability.
Alex Zanardi
I think as a 20-year-old you expect life to always be e

I think as a 20-year-old you expect life to always be easy. You get given a good hand and the chance to race in Formula One. You think the driver can make the difference, can make up for everything else within the team. But that is not the case. You are racing in such a competitive sport so that doesn’t happen.
Jenson Button
Le Mans takes the best out of everyone. Winning is important but it’s not everything. It’s such a big and great event in motorsport. You do more kilometres in that one race than Formula One do in a season, and probably a higher average speed. We average about 220km/h including pit stops and cover nearly 5000km.
Tom Kristensen
My return is not about seeing Formula One as the best option, but is about seeing the role at Williams as the best option. I would not have returned for any other team.

I retired in Formula One and I think it was the right time, so I’m happy with my decision.

Kevin Magnussen
My wife is used to Formula One, and she understands the life.

Jos Verstappen
There are no drivers like Formula One drivers. They are engineers, in a way. They are driving manual cars one-handed at 200 miles per hour around streets in Monaco. These cars use the ultimate in technology.
Asif Kapadia
Cart is not as sanitised as formula one. You just get in the car and get on with it. And it is more fun.
Dario Franchitti
I’ve never been bashful to say that I’m not really interested in Formula One. When I lived in England, it’s all I wanted to do and I thought that anything else would somehow be a compromise to my dreams. But then when I came back to the States, I realised how much I loved being back in the States.
Danica Patrick
Just competing in the Brazilian GP is a dream for all Brazilian racing drivers. I remember sitting in the grandstands when I was a kid, watching Ayrton Senna, Nelson Piquet and even Rubens Barrichello. After that, to race there in Formula One is a feeling that is hard to explain.
Felipe Massa
I have been waiting to win a world championship since 1985. I’ve had three cracks at a world title – in karting, I finished third at Le Mans; that hurt because it was very close, but then in Formula One there wasn’t really an opportunity to finally crack it, so it’s third time lucky.
Allan McNish
A lot of people think Formula One isn’t a sport because everyone drives a car when they go to work in the morning. But we’re pulling up to six G on a corner or during breaking, which is almost like being a fighter pilot. So we have to do a lot of work on our neck muscles.

Daniel Ricciardo
Formula One is one of the biggest and most competitive sports in the world and our desire is to get back to be giving Mercedes a hard time and winning races and championships.
Christian Horner
My son understands a lot and he’s pushing me really hard. He always tells me ‘you need to win, you need to be good.’ He’s happy to see that his father is racing and I think he understands step by step more about Formula One and he really likes it.
Felipe Massa
The way we are getting parts and services is just in time, at the last minute, into the U.K., and any major disruption in borders and taxes would massively damage the Formula One industry in the U.K.
Toto Wolff
Many Formula One races last two hours, are really boring and nothing happens.
Felipe Massa
