“You always try to fight for yourself, isn't it? You try to do the best possible job.”
“It is not only about just doing a fast lap. You also need to use your brains and be clever, and I think that is what makes you a complete driver at the end.”
“Overtaking is one thing. That is an art. But defending as well. You should be able to defend your position.”
“If you are not allowed to defend, what's racing about, then?”
“As a driver, I will always be the same guy.”
“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.”
“To be honest, I never compare myself with the rookies.”
“I really want to thank Red Bull Racing and Dr. Helmut Marko for the confidence they have in me.”
“You have to be patient: trust the team, that they can deliver a good job.”
“In general, the spotlight has been on me.”
“I just enjoy it and drive as fast I can. But so many people think your psychology is such a massive thing. For me, it's not necessary.”
“My ultimate dream is just to become world champion, and not only once. So that's my dream, and it doesn't matter with which team it is.”
“I think it's always better to be in an F1 car because, in general, the car behaves itself.”
“Sometimes it's better to come through from, say, last to eighth than staying eighth, and you've qualified eighth!”
“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.”
“To just slow yourself down, just to not do anything and drive around - I'm not like that. I'm not here to fill up the field.”
“I grew up going to race rings, and I really enjoyed it.”
“I tell my engineers that they should not overload me with information.”
“The only place that matters is first.”
“I just want to do the best I can every time.”
