F2 cars have downforce; they’re quick. But it’s difficult for your brain and eyes to keep up with everything that’s going on once you’re in an F1 car. You get used to it and you learn to stay calm, because if you react too quickly the opposite will happen. Being more relaxed is when it becomes more natural and controlled.

We should understand the source of our authority and something of the keys that control its power.

I probably work harder, putting in a lot of time and effort, than a lot of drivers because all I think about, and all I do, is to do with racing, trying to make myself a better driver.

The battlefield is a scene of constant chaos. The winner will be the one who controls that chaos, both his own and the enemies.

Taste cannot be controlled by law.

‚Speed‘ and ‚Point Break‘ were a lot of running and jumping, and then ‚The Matrix Trilogy‘ had a lot of fights and wire work and green screen elements.

The Pirellis you can push for a couple of laps and then you’ve got to start saving. It’s not easy.

Like any creative human being, I would like a bit more control so that it would be a little easier for me when the director says, ‚One tear, right now,‘ that one tear would pop out.

Science investigates; religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge which is power; religion gives man wisdom which is control.

But does that mean that war and violence are inevitable? I would argue not because we have also evolved this amazingly sophisticated intellect, and we are capable of controlling our innate behavior a lot of the time.

Move fast and break things. Unless you are breaking stuff, you are not moving fast enough.

Every legend, moreover, contains its residuum of truth, and the root function of language is to control the universe by describing it.

Our enemy, the devil, wants to control us, and his target is our will. The main way he tries to influence our will is through lying to us.

Once you publish a book, it is out of your control. You cannot dictate how people read it.

Time management is an oxymoron. Time is beyond our control, and the clock keeps ticking regardless of how we lead our lives. Priority management is the answer to maximizing the time we have.

The world is all the richer for having a devil in it, so long as we keep our foot upon his neck.

Do not let circumstances control you. You change your circumstances.

Unless you are breaking stuff, you are not moving fast enough.

Some things get written more quickly than others, but I can’t really measure degrees of difficulty.

The more you can increase fear of drugs and crime, welfare mothers, immigrants and aliens, the more you control all the people.

How you go about testing is just very different to just being in the situation of qualifying, having to go out, having to nail the lap.

I don’t have a need for speed. I’m not that guy.

I had to drive with a roof in LMP2, and I managed to get used to that quite quickly – although it’s still not a Halo, it’s still different to what I’m used to.

Speed, it seems to me, provides the one genuinely modern pleasure.

I watched the Indy 500, and I was thinking that if they left earlier they wouldn’t have to go so fast.

Politics is the art of controlling your environment.

To do the same thing over and over again is not only boredom: it is to be controlled by rather than to control what you do.

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.

I really don’t pay attention to the outside world when I’m incarcerated, because being in prison is like being in a different world. So I don’t pay attention to what’s going on outside of jail, because it’s all beyond my control.

Pull the string, and it will follow wherever you wish. Push it, and it will go nowhere at all.

To be announced as a race driver for McLaren is a dream come true.

When I was writing the Destiny’s Child songs, it was a big thing to be that young and taking control. And the label at the time didn’t know that we were going to be that successful, so they gave us all control. And I got used to it.

I always believe that there should come a time when your energy, speed, stamina should combine well with your brains.

Move fast with stable infrastructure.

I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion.

The most intense conflicts, if overcome, leave behind a sense of security and calm that is not easily disturbed. It is just these intense conflicts and their conflagration which are needed to produce valuable and lasting results.

Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.

I’m a human being and I fall in love and sometimes I don’t have control of every situation.

The major advances in speed of communication and ability to interact took place more than a century ago. The shift from sailing ships to telegraph was far more radical than that from telephone to email!

If we want to travel into the future, we just need to go fast. Really fast. And I think the only way we’re ever likely to do that is by going into space.

Action seems to follow feeling, but really action and feeling go together; and by regulating the action, which is under the more direct control of the will, we can indirectly regulate the feeling, which is not.

You know we’re going to control the insurance companies.

I used to watch MotoGP quite a bit, I liked MotoGP. I had a motorbike before I had a go-kart and before I had a motorbike I had a quad bike but I was too dangerous, and before I did quad biking I did horse riding, so it’s been a long journey.

I can control my destiny, but not my fate. Destiny means there are opportunities to turn right or left, but fate is a one-way street. I believe we all have the choice as to whether we fulfil our destiny, but our fate is sealed.

Chinese people need to be controlled; otherwise, they will do whatever they want.

The only sure bulwark of continuing liberty is a government strong enough to protect the interests of the people, and a people strong enough and well enough informed to maintain its sovereign control over the goverment.

I guess for every driver the aim is to beat their teammate.

When I’m in management meetings when we’re deciding my future, those decisions are left up to me. I’m the one who has to go out and fulfill all these obligations, so I should be able to choose which ones I do or not. That’s the part of my life where I feel most in control.

In karting, in the European races, you have the cameras and the film crews and you do interviews. At around 13 I’d already started doing bit of media and it just increases more and more with every level you take, especially when you get into cars – and when you hit F1 it’s an even higher step up. It’s something you get used to over time.

You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.

A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier, there’s no question about it.

One should never forbid what one lacks the power to prevent.

Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

The English game is not faster than the German game. Perhaps there are a few more sprints. But there is a different style of football here, partially due to the weather.

I’m loving my role as a McLaren Young Driver, spending time in the simulator at the McLaren Technology Centre and attending some Grands Prix with the team.

In the ideal world, if I was perfect, I’d be able to beat every teammate that I have, in every race.

Goals allow you to control the direction of change in your favor.

When you are trying to impress people with words, the more you say, the more common you appear, and the less in control. Even if you are saying something banal, it will seem original if you make it vague, open-ended, and sphinxlike.

I don’t run restaurants that are out of control. We are about establishing phenomenal footholdings with talent.

I am criticised for not celebrating my goals enough. I am very happy from within, very calm. I just don’t celebrate. I celebrate inside.

My favourite car I drove in the ‚shoot out‘ at Silverstone was the 2016 Mercedes DTM car. I loved every moment in it, the downforce being particularly surprising.
