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

We didn’t crumble after 9/11. We didn’t falter after the Boston Marathon. But we’re America. Americans will never, ever stand down. We endure. We overcome. We own the finish line.

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.

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

The McLaren prizes can only help me in my quest to ultimately reach Formula One.

One thing Britons have always been celebrated for, and that is being able to stick it out in a tight place.

Alcohol is the anesthesia by which we endure the operation of life.

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

I used to run a full marathon in three hours and 25 or 26 minutes. Not any more.

Wondrous is the strength of cheerfulness, and its power of endurance – the cheerful man will do more in the same time, will do it; better, will preserve it longer, than the sad or sullen.

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

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

I’ve run the Boston Marathon 6 times before. I think the best aspects of the marathon are the beautiful changes of the scenery along the route and the warmth of the people’s support. I feel happier every time I enter this marathon.

Man can climb to the highest summits, but he cannot dwell there long.

If I want to do well in racing I need to be more focused so I stopped going to school. If I wasn’t a very good driver it would not be a wise decision, but it gives me an advantage over my competitors.

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.

Mental toughness is a lifestyle. It’s something that you live every single day of your life. When I was growing up, I was a lazy kid. I was a lazy kid, and everybody goes, ‚How did you get to where you’re at today? How did you get to where you’re running 200 miles at one time in 39 hours? Being so disciplined?‘

The final proof of greatness lies in being able to endure criticism without resentment.

I swam underwater for 50 meters at a time and walked the length of the pool underwater, with a brick in each hand, all on a single breath.

The men who learn endurance, are they who call the whole world, brother.

F2’s much harder physically on the arms and almost on the whole body than F1 is.

Everything in the world may be endured except continual prosperity.

We are doomed to cling to a life even while we find it unendurable.

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

I used to watch some F1 races but I was never straightaway thinking ‚that is what I want to do.‘

Nothing endures but change.

I don’t know who I would have been if I never watched MotoGP.

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

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’ve been running a full marathon every year for more than 20 years, and my record is getting worse. Getting older, getting worse. It’s natural.

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

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

There are no small accidents on this circuit.

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.

The spirit is the true self. The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure.

Great loves too must be endured.

It’s what counts, isn’t it, on the Sunday, rather than pre-season testing. If you lock up, you do a little mistake, it’s nothing, but if you do it on Sunday, you lose a place or you have to box for a flat spot or something like that. It’s a much bigger problem.

It’s in the difficult times that we’re growing and you can’t just rebuke everything hard. We’ve got to endure it and fight the good fight of faith and pass the test.

Exercise is labor without weariness.

As a British driver, you get compared to Lewis and I get that. But when he came to McLaren, they were doing well and had a championship-winning car. I’m in a very different situation so I don’t compare myself to his stats.

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.

Does anybody really think that they didn’t get what they had because they didn’t have the talent or the strength or the endurance or the commitment?

I have seen how the foundations of the world are laid, and I have not the least doubt that it will stand a good while.

Heaven is long-enduring, and earth continues long. The reason why heaven and earth are able to endure and continue thus long is because they do not live of, or for, themselves.

To endure is the first thing that a child ought to learn, and that which he will have the most need to know.

Hold on with a bulldog grip, and chew and choke as much as possible.

A good boxing competition gives one the sight of fine men in their prime, trained to the ounce, showing the highest skill, pluck and endurance in carrying out their attack and defence under strict rules of fair play and good temper.

For my career, I wouldn’t go racing if I didn’t enjoy it. I still need to have my say, and not just get put with a team and get told to deal with it.

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.

Children’s talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.

The person who grieves suffers his passion to grow upon him; he indulges it, he loves it; but this never happens in the case of actual pain, which no man ever willingly endured for any considerable time.

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

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

Human life is everywhere a state in which much is to be endured, and little to be enjoyed.

Let a man walk ten miles steadily on a hot summer’s day along a dusty English road, and he will soon discover why beer was invented.

I am sure as everyone knows that I am not the happiest if I don’t do a good job in qualifying or the race.

Like the experience of warfare, the endurance of grave or terminal illness involves long periods of tedium and anxiety, punctuated by briefer interludes of stark terror and pain.

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.

Sure I am of this, that you have only to endure to conquer.

I assess the power of a will by how much resistance, pain, torture it endures and knows how to turn to its advantage.

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.
