Lewis Hamilton

“I feel equal to Mexicans, Asians, everyone. That's the kind of positive message I want to get out.”

“I don't like to read fiction. I like to learn something when I'm reading.”

“Despite the name, 'lift and coast' does not mean cruising. You're trying to be as fast as you can, and you're still going through the corner on the limit, but you have to approach the corner slightly differently; otherwise, you won't make the end of the race.”

“It's a pretty cool feeling to be the person to knock down a barrier - just like the Williams sisters did in tennis or Tiger Woods in golf.”

“Everyone loves a winner. That's just how the world is. And Ayrton Senna was one of the greatest winners this sport has ever had.”

“I'm happy to race against anyone.”

“The Hamilton name will live on way beyond me now, which I'm very happy to be a part of.”

“People might not know, but F1 drivers have new helmets made throughout the season. Usually, the design is the same, but I like to do something special for Monaco.”

“Each championship has felt different in its own way, I guess because I've been in different place of my life; I've gone through different things.”

“Generally, I hate training - just like most people, I guess. I try to make it fun and varied.”

“Formula 1 is the sort of place where people tend to have an opinion about everything, and usually, they tend to believe their own opinion is the right one, even if it relates to someone else.”

“When I was a kid and Christmas was coming up, my dad would ask me what I wanted, and I always said a motorbike. I kept asking for one, and he said it was too dangerous and bought me a go-kart instead.”

“When I was a kid, I used to play a game called 'Grand Prix Two.' Interlagos was always the first race of the season on that, and I never really got much past the second race. I would always restart the season, so I always seemed to be doing Interlagos - it was a real pain!”

“I'm no less focused than any of my peers. They live a different life. They go home; they are not pictured at events. I train just as much as them, maybe more.”

“If I'd won every single race and got pole everywhere, that would just be boring. It would suck. Where's the fun in that?”

“I'm willing to take any amount of pain to win.”

“I think every single win, every single pole has felt new and different in its own way. I've not got bored of it.”

“Tupac is my favorite artist, and he had mad style.”

“Racing is what I love, so it's pretty simple. I want to keep doing it and keep winning.”

“It's important for everyone to stand up for what they believe in.”
