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

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

I can’t remember what made my dad take us karting for the first time, I can’t remember really. I was into motorsport by then and I knew everything, and every driver, it was around 2009, 2008. That’s when I first properly knew about Formula One. Those were the days.

If patience is worth anything, it must endure to the end of time. And a living faith will last in the midst of the blackest storm.

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

There are no small accidents on this circuit.

Nothing reflects so much honor on a workman as a trial of his work and its endurance of it. So it is with God. It honors Him when His saints preserve their integrity.

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

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

Everything in the world may be endured except continual prosperity.

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.

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

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

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.

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

Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they’ve got a second.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure.

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

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

Racing, competing, it’s in my blood. It’s part of me, it’s part of my life; I have been doing it all my life and it stands out above everything else.

Endurance is patience concentrated.

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.

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.

It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.

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.

Great loves too must be endured.

Nothing endures but change.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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

I left school to concentrate on racing. It was a family decision between my mum, dad and myself.

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

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?‘

If pleasure was not followed by pain, who would forbear it?

To be able to endure odium is the first art to be learned by those who aspire to power.

Endurance is nobler than strength, and patience than beauty.

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

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

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

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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.
