motorsports quotes

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.
