There are no small accidents on this circuit.

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

No one knows who is listening, say nothing you would not wish put in the newspapers.

The world has today 546 nuclear plants generating electricity. Their experience is being continuously researched, and feedback should be provided to all. Nuclear scientists have to interact with the people of the nation, and academic institutions continuously update nuclear power generation technology and safety.

Lightning is something which, again, we would rather avoid.

Mission presidents hold keys of responsibility for the welfare, safety, and success of their missionaries.

I have often been asked what I think about at the moment of take-off. Of course, no pilot sits and feels his pulse as he flies. He has to be part of the machine. If he thinks of anything but the task in hand, then trouble is probably just around the corner.

It’s important that we attempt to extend life beyond Earth now. It is the first time in the four billion-year history of Earth that it’s been possible, and that window could be open for a long time – hopefully it is – or it could be open for a short time. We should err on the side of caution and do something now.

We must do everything in our power to cease the behaviour that makes children everywhere feel afraid.

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

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.

The truth. It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and must therefore be treated with great caution.

It is often safer to be in chains than to be free.

So near is falsehood to truth that a wise man would do well not to trust himself on the narrow edge.

The racing is quite boring, sometimes. It’s hard to see how it pulls in fans.

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

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.

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 purpose is clear. It is safety with solvency. The country is entitled to both.

As a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, I know that the men and women of our intelligence community put their lives on the line every day, and they do very dangerous work to keep our country safe.

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

Basically what I’m trying to tell you is that it’s almost impossible to drive a jet ski at night time unless you’re in a city with lights lit up so you can navigate. Besides being pitch black, that water turn black at night. Listen, I don’t recommend it.

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

If I knew for a certainty that a man was coming to my house with the conscious design of doing me good, I should run for my life.

My doorman is more important to me than any head of any company. He keeps us safe.

Before I do a stunt, I have to make sure it is safe.

Clothes if they are not well cut, you can kill nobody. A building poorly built can kill people. It’s a much more difficult work. I would not compare myself with that.

There is no way I would ask others to go on a Virgin Galactic flight if I didn’t feel it was safe enough for myself.

The coward only threatens when he is safe.

It’s going to be a season with lots of accidents, and I’ll risk saying that we’ll be lucky if something really serious doesn’t happen.

People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

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

It does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him.

Hatreds not vowed and concealed are to be feared more than those openly declared.

We could definitely make a flying car – but that’s not the hard part. The hard part is, how do you make a flying car that’s super safe and quiet? Because if it’s a howler, you’re going to make people very unhappy.

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.

The serpent, the king, the tiger, the stinging wasp, the small child, the dog owned by other people, and the fool: these seven ought not to be awakened from sleep.

I ride my bike almost every day here in New York. It’s getting safer to do so, but I do have to be fairly alert when riding on the streets as opposed to riding on the Hudson River bike path or similar protected lanes.

Do not bite at the bait of pleasure, till you know there is no hook beneath it.

The palace is not safe when the cottage is not happy.

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.

When in doubt, don’t.

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.

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

We fear that this moment will end, that we won’t get what we need, that we will lose what we love, or that we will not be safe. Often, our biggest fear is the knowledge that one day our bodies will cease functioning. So even when we are surrounded by all the conditions for happiness, our joy is not complete.

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.

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.

The true danger is when liberty is nibbled away, for expedience, and by parts.

Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness.

Don’t go getting mixed up in the business of your betters, or you’ll land in trouble too big for you.

There are too many accidents that can befall life on a single planet.

Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.

It is to the middle-class we must look for the safety of England.

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.

Do I wear a helmet? Ugh. I do when I’m riding through a precarious part of town, meaning Midtown traffic. But when I’m riding on secure protected lanes or on the paths that run along the Hudson or through Central Park – no, I don’t wear the dreaded helmet then.

Where an excess of power prevails, property of no sort is duly respected. No man is safe in his opinions, his person, his faculties, or his possessions.

Cameras aren’t guns. They can’t really hurt you.

Superman don’t need no seat belt.

When you see a rattlesnake poised to strike, you do not wait until he has struck to crush him.

I have a very strict gun control policy: if there’s a gun around, I want to be in control of it.
