Jack White
#7. A lot of people think Formula One isn't a sport because everyone drives a car when they go to work in the morning. But we're pulling up to six G on a corner or during breaking, which is almost like being a fighter pilot. So we have to do a lot of work on our neck muscles.

Michael Gurnow

Fernando Alonso

Eugene O'Neill
#22. There are many young talents in Brazil. There is a lot of hope in Felipe Massa. It is very difficult to judge him in his first year, but by the end of the end we are going to have a better position how he does in Formula One.
Emerson Fittipaldi
#23. TO be racing in Formula One with Mclaren has been the ultimate goal for me. It's a dream come true.
Lewis Hamilton
#24. You just say it. That's how you say something that's hard. You put one foot in front of the other. You take it step by step. You say the words. There is no magic formula. There is no secret sauce. But there are words, she says emphatically, as if she's delivering an impassioned speech.
Lauren Blakely
#25. I think love is one of the most elusive things in the world. I don't know that there's a perfect formula for it and that's what makes the stories interesting.
Ashton Kutcher
#26. I have been waiting to win a world championship since 1985. I've had three cracks at a world title - in karting, I finished third at Le Mans; that hurt because it was very close, but then in Formula One there wasn't really an opportunity to finally crack it, so it's third time lucky.

Alicia Suskin Ostriker
#32. I think there's a lot of deep-rooted history in England with racing. Lots of Formula One teams are based there. Formula One is obviously a huge sport over in England and Europe.

Nelson Piquet
#50. Only someone who doesn't understand art tells an artist their art somehow failed. How the fuck can art fail? Art can't be graded, because it's going to mean something different to everyone. You can't apply a mathematical absolute to art because there is no one formula for self-expression.
Kevin Smith
#51. Corporate America doesn't really have an interest in Formula One because there is nothing American in it at this point. It is European and all made by Europeans. Until that changes, the interest isn't going to be at the level it needs to be.

Deyth Banger
#58. My formula for greatness in a human being is amor fati: that one wants nothing to be different, not forward, not backward, not in all eternity. Not merely bear what is necessary, still less conceal it - all idealism is mendaciousness in the face of what is necessary - but love it

David Walliams
#64. My formula for human greatness is amor fati: that one wants nothing to be different, not in the future, not in the past, not for all eternity. Not only to endure what is necessary, still less to conceal it - all idealism is falseness in the face of necessity - , but to love it ...
Friedrich Nietzsche

Asif Kapadia
#66. Severe isn't a word normally associated with a cold. Severe is for weather or third-degree burns ... No one responds 'severe' when someone asks how her cold is.
In fact, nine out of ten Americans respond to 'How's your cold' with 'It sucks.' So there should be an It Sucks cold formula.
Celia Rivenbark
#67. You have a unique body and mind, with a particular history and conditioning. No one can offer you a formula for navigating all situations and all states of mind. Only by listening inwardly in a fresh and open way will you discern at any given time what most serves your healing and freedom.
Tara Brach
#68. The top golfers in the world are like Formula One cars when it comes to their swings.
Stuart Appleby

Henry Ford

Johan Galtung
#72. Perhaps future space probes will be plastered in commercial logos, just as Formula One cars are now. Perhaps Robot Wars in space will be a lucrative spectator sport. If humans venture back to the moon, and even beyond, they may carry commercial insignia rather than national flags.
Martin Rees
#73. The GP2 championship costs 0.65 percent of what the Formula One championship costs. I don't understand why GP2 cost $2.5 million and our team and other teams cost maybe between $300 and $500 million. I do not see what the difference is.
Flavio Briatore
#74. For one ridiculous moment she considered changing into something sexier - at least from the waist up, as that was all he'd see on his camera - but decided not to bother. Logan had fallen in love with her in striped T-shirts and jeans. There was no need to mess with a winning formula.
Rob Thomas
#75. Sooner or later, the man who learnt lessons from his failures will be the one to be sought first for guidance, counsel and formula on how to be successful in life's endeavours.
Ogwo David Emenike
#76. Because I believe in God and have faith in God, it doesn't mean I am immortal. It doesn't mean I am immune, as has been claimed. I am as scared as anyone of getting hurt, especially driving a Formula One car.
Ayrton Senna
#77. Come to believe that the fear of death is always greatest in those who feel that they have not lived their life fully. A good working formula is: the more unlived life, or unrealized potential, the greater one's death anxiety.

#79. I had come to believe that the fear of death is always greatest in those who feel that they have not lived their life fully. A good working formula is: the more unlived life, or unrealized potential, the greater one's death anxiety. My

#81. formula one drivers generally maintain a heart rate of around 175 bpm for hours on end.

Christopher Poindexter
#83. I am not designed to come second
or third, I am designed
to win.
Ayrton Senna
#84. In Formula One, the car can make a difference in a way that a driver cannot. Whereas Michael Schumacher and Ayrton Senna spent their early seasons in second-rate machinery, Hamilton walked into the equal best car on the grid. His first season none the less has, by any standards, been extraordinary.
Martin Jacques
#85. I love writing songs. One of the toughest things is structure; it just works when you use verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge. And as soon as you become aware of that formula, you start to have a bad conscience when you write with that particular structure.
Rivers Cuomo
#86. Nobody in Formula One has won so many titles, so many races as I did. So Ferrari for me is crucial; it is more than important.

Jim Webb
#88. As a Formula One driver, you dream about winning your first race all your life. I am desperate to know what it feels like.
Sergio Perez
#89. Louis Kelso's formula sounds like Lydia Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. The whole theory sounds crazy. But, then, one may recall, they said all that of Copernicus too.
James J. Kilpatrick
#90. I don't like to stick to one formula. That gets boring. I get bored, so I want to try different ways of getting inside something.
Thomas Jane
#91. In the past, the West had tried to export one formula of democracy which should fit to the rest of the world, and they discovered that this doesn't work.
Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair
#92. Nothing can really prepare you for when you get in the Formula One car. Knowing that you're driving a multimillion-dollar car, and if you crash it it's going to cost a lot of money, and they might not give you another chance, is scary.
Lewis Hamilton
#93. Formula one is very one-dimensional in terms of what we do in the cockpit.
Mark Webber
#94. It is amazing how may drivers, even at the Formula One Level, think that the brakes are for slowing the car down.
Mario Andretti
#95. Many teachers are concerned about the amount of material they must cover in a course. One cynic suggested a formula: since, he said, students on the average remember only about 40% of what you tell them, the thing to do is to cram into each course 250% of what you hope will stick.
Paul Halmos
#96. I can't eat whatever I want, definitely not. I'm always controlled because I do a lot of fitness and triathlons, not just Formula One, so I always make sure I eat the right things.
Jenson Button
#97. Why then had I heard nothing? Everyone knows that the killing of a human being requires the exertion of a certain amount of mechanical energy. I forget the exact formula, although I know there is one.
Alan Bradley
#98. I think Spider-Man [film], the first one particularly, really figured out the formula of, "Oh, tell the story that they told in the comic. It was compelling. That's why it's iconic."
Joss Whedon
#99. What was happening to him? - he wondered. The impossible conflict of feeling reluctance to do that which was right - wasn't it the basic formula of moral corruption? To recognize one's guilt, yet feel nothing but the coldest, most profound indifference.
Ayn Rand
#100. And that just shows you how important the car is in Formula One Racing.
Murray Walker
