My dad kind of liked racing and motorsports, but wasn’t a big fan, it wasn’t like he watched every race or whatever.

The biggest difference in the wet between F2 and F1 is that there’s so much more power in F1 as being on the throttle earlier has a bigger advantage.

There is no such thing on earth as an uninteresting subject; the only thing that can exist is an uninterested person.

I got into science fiction by being interested in astronomy first.

Even in high school I was very interested in history – why people do the things they do. As a kid I spent a lot of time trying to relate the past to the present.

I’ve got a feeling that music might not be the most interesting place to be in the world of things.

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.

McLaren were one of the first teams I liked and supported.

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.

I saw MotoGP on TV first, before I saw F1 and other types of car racing. It’s what I got more into. It was cool, there was good, exciting racing.

I like sitting and writing with my buddies.

I kind of look up to Lewis, not as a hero, but as a very good driver who is very fast. Everyone has to admire his pace, especially in qualifying. He is a driver I support, in terms of him being British, and I want him to win, but he isn’t an idol to me.

I was always interested – I mean, it’s kind of part of your job – I was always interested in the camera.

I have done one thing that I think is a contribution: I helped Buddhist science and modern science combine. No other Buddhist has done that. Other lamas, I don’t think they ever pay attention to modern science. Since my childhood, I have a keen interest.

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

Every driver is different, so I just hope whatever I do is going to be good enough, because it’s not that I just want to be with McLaren. I want to win with McLaren.

We sometimes encounter people, even perfect strangers, who begin to interest us at first sight, somehow suddenly, all at once, before a word has been spoken.

I wanted to race cars. I didn’t like school, and all I wanted to do was work on cars. But right before I graduated, I got into a really bad car accident, and I spent that summer in the hospital thinking about where I was heading. I decided to take education more seriously and go to a community college.

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.

It is the interest of the commercial world that wealth should be found everywhere.

Even though I had won in other categories, I didn’t have any expectations when I came into F1. Qualifying fifth, finishing sixth? I didn’t expect it.

It seems like F1 is kind of going down that route, opening it up more to the public and letting them know what is going on, what you do, instead of just driving and going home.

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

The arts have only ever interested a small minority of people, which acted as a kind of nursery to support artists.

I’m definitely more one of the drivers who would want to do Daytona, Le Mans, and the Indy 500.

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

I’m considered wise, and sometimes I see myself as knowing. Most of the time, I see myself as wanting to know. And I see myself as a very interested person. I’ve never been bored in my life.

There are no small accidents on this circuit.

I don’t race cars.

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.

When I’m really interested in something, I get superfocused on that. And I can spend hours upon hours not getting tired of reading about it and still be interested to learn more about it.

I’m interested in two things. I’m interested in truth and I’m interested in fairness.

I think the F2 tyres are probably one of the hardest things to adapt to, harder than the Formula One Pirellis were to get used to.

I want to be part of that long list who have achieved great things with McLaren, won races and championships.

I love tango, and I used to dance when I was young.

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.

Today is life-the only life you are sure of. Make the most of today. Get interested in something. Shake yourself awake. Develop a hobby. Let the winds of enthusiasm sweep through you. Live today with gusto.

I spend a lot of time reading.

Beware the hobby that eats.

Once I get on a puzzle, I can’t get off.

You don’t have to be a renowned artist like Q-Tip to try your hand at poetry. You don’t need any special equipment – that’s the beauty of it.

I used to be a great fan of doing crosswords. When you’re fiddling around with anagrams, you get wonderful jumbles of syllables that become interesting.

When you’re curious, you find lots of interesting things to do.

My paintings have gotten to be pretty popular and I’ve taken a little bit more interest in painting the last few years. In fact, my novel that I wrote not too long ago, ‚The Hornet’s Nest,‘ I painted the cover picture for it and I do a good bit of painting now.

I used to like to set different film clips to classical music, not even my own songs, but make little movies.

Funny is the world I live in. You’re funny, I’m interested. You’re not funny, I’m not interested.

The ‚free-floating intellectual‘ may occupy himself with problems because of their inherent interest and importance, perhaps to little effect.

I definitely wasn’t anything special when I first started but I think I adapted quite quickly into racing and it became a bit better slowly. All of cadets, the first four years of karting, I only won one proper race, one! Which was the British Open Championship at PFI and I started 21st and I won.

Time is something that interests me a whole lot – past and present, and how the past appears as people change.

I retain what’s interesting to me, but I don’t have a lot of strategic depth.

Anything that encourages people to pick up an instrument and play, I’m fully behind.

I raced with my brother from when I started to 2014 when I finished karting.

People are generally amazed that I would take an interest in any forum that would require me to stop talking for three hours.

All writers are going to have to learn more about science, because it’s such an interesting part of their environment.

You can only get to a certain point when you feel confident with the simulator and it always changes when you get to the track and you actually drive it for real for the first time.

I was acting when I was playing baseball.

I practiced drawing all the time and became very interested in it. If I was at a meeting that wasn’t getting anywhere – like the one where Carl Rogers came to Caltech to discuss with us whether Caltech should develop a psychology department – I would draw the other people.

It is hard to interest those who have everything in those who have nothing.

I need to do well and show I’m a worthy driver in F1.

I have been practicing archery for a long time; a bow and arrow helps me to unwind.

Every time I get in the McLaren I feel more comfortable, my confidence increases and I feel more at home with the team.
