Top 100 Formula One Sayings

Robert Scoble
#2. Formula One was a very dangerous sport. It still is dangerous. But the danger factor is also the exciting part.
Lewis Hamilton
#3. I'm a car fanatic and each morning I wake up with a smile on my face, whether I'm commentating on the Formula One or at Silver Hatch racetrack in Roary the Racing Car.
Murray Walker
#4. 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.
Jenson Button
#5. My time at Honda was amazing. Some of my best times in Formula One, actually. I might not have won races, just one race, but I had a lot of fun.
Jenson Button

Alexander Rossi
#7. Ive just got to do a good job and stay on in Formula One for as long as I can.

#8. What people tend to forget is the journey that I had getting to Formula One. There were plenty of years where I had to learn about losing and having bad races.
Lewis Hamilton
#9. After 10 weeks away from Formula One, when they started the engine here at Valencia and everything was vibrating, I found myself sitting in the RB7 and smiling.
Sebastian Vettel
#10. American people are very patriotic, but there is no driver to get behind and support. I don't see why Formula One cannot be something America is a part of. I wouldn't say it's too European at all.
Alexander Rossi
#11. You arrive at Formula One being very skeptical, how far can your talent deal with all this, and then you understand those guys are human and pretty reasonable, and finally succeeding in winning your first race, in circumstance as such, it was just an amazing moment.
Michael Schumacher
#12. I had not been prepared for my employer's approach to vehicular navigation, which was a simple case of being unable to tell the difference between a very large, multi-windowed van that could accommodate a mobile disco and a Formula One racer.
Michael Gurnow
#13. I have always been very calm on the outside. I'm not too stressed now just because I'm in formula one. For me, tomorrow will be another day whether I finish first or last. I have to do the maximum and I cannot ask any more from myself.
Fernando Alonso
#14. 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
#15. TO be racing in Formula One with Mclaren has been the ultimate goal for me. It's a dream come true.
Lewis Hamilton
#16. 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.
Allan McNish
#17. I think fans of the sport have a good understanding now of how fit Formula One drivers need to be.

Tony McCoy
#19. Those who have come into Formula One without experiencing cars devoid of electronic aids will find it tough. To control 800 horse power relying just on arm muscles and foot sensitivity can turn out to be a dangerous exercise.
Michael Schumacher
#20. 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.
Danica Patrick
#21. It's not as if there's a noise problem, because they use the same circuits as Formula One.
Barry Sheene
#22. Every NASCAR driver watches Formula One in the morning; they are well informed.
Mario Andretti
#24. I think social networks are really working for the drivers, because we're able to talk directly to fans and they get first-hand information. And I think it's great for the partners as well and the businesses that are involved in Formula One.
Jenson Button
#25. Formula One is definitely what I want to do. I would get back in the car today if I could.
Scott Dixon
#26. I wanted to make a film that wouldn't just appeal to Formula One fans. That's what the great sports documentaries do - 'Hoop Dreams,' 'When We Were Kings' - they're human dramas first, sport second, if at all.
Asif Kapadia
#27. It is going to be special to drive in the Netherlands because it means I can take part in a Formula One demonstration in a country where I have a lot of family and friends.
Nelson Piquet
#28. 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.
Alexander Rossi
#30. They say Formula One is a market which it can't be, obviously. Our market is independent, it's a sport.

#31. Every year we find something new, we go faster, and that's what Formula One is about .

Asif Kapadia
#34. The top golfers in the world are like Formula One cars when it comes to their swings.
Stuart Appleby
#35. Women do not win formula one races, because they simply are not strong enough to resist the G-forces. In the boardroom, it is different. I believe women are better able to marshal their thoughts than men and because they are less egotistical they make fewer assumptions.
Henry Ford
#36. 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
#37. 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
#38. 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
#39. When I was a kid, we all knew who Niki Lauda was. He was a hero, a living legend in Germany. Everybody knows him. And he's still very present on TV because he's commenting for Formula One.
Daniel Bruhl
#40. formula one drivers generally maintain a heart rate of around 175 bpm for hours on end.
Dave Grossman
#41. 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
#42. 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.
Luca Cordero Di Montezemolo
#43. 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
#44. 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
#45. Formula one is very one-dimensional in terms of what we do in the cockpit.
Mark Webber
#46. It is amazing how may drivers, even at the Formula One Level, think that the brakes are for slowing the car down.

#47. 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
#48. And that just shows you how important the car is in Formula One Racing.
Murray Walker
#50. I don't think I ever thought of growing up to be anything other than a musician. There really wasn't a plan B. Well, a kind of a distant plan B was to be a Formula One driver, but there really wasn't an entry point.
J. D. Souther
#51. I think Formula E truly has the potential to become the future of motorsport. Formula One is the past.

Nick Woodman
#54. Formula One is a mind game, no question. You have to think so hard sometimes smoke comes out your ears! And if you don't keep your head in gear the car will overtake you
Mika Hakkinen
#56. I had to go off the circuit twice to avoid him. I don't know what Rene Arnoux is doing in Formula One racing. He should be on the beach.
Thierry Boutsen
#57. The fast, flowing parts, the high-speed corners, that's where a Formula One car is at its best - changes of direction, pulling high g-forces left and right.
Jenson Button
#58. In sport there is never any moment that is the same as the other. I have been in Formula One for 12 years, and out of that I had one year with the perfect car.
Michael Schumacher
#59. Ukyo Katayama is undoubtedly the best Formula One driver that Grand Prix racing has ever produced
Murray Walker
#60. I've never been bashful to say that I'm not really interested in Formula One. When I lived in England, it's all I wanted to do and I thought that anything else would somehow be a compromise to my dreams. But then when I came back to the States, I realised how much I loved being back in the States.
Danica Patrick
#61. First time I looked at a Formula One car in person, I just stared at the cockpit, figuring I'd never get in there. The drivers wear the whole car like a tight-fitting suit.

#62. I go to see grand prix every year, and I watch every race on TV for sure. I probably go to three or four CART races and three or four Formula One races.
Emerson Fittipaldi
#63. My new life goes beyond my dreams because my dream was Formula One and I achieved it. I'm a driver, I feel like a driver. I have won this race because I am alive.
Maria De Villota
#64. I'm an extremist so I'm either hated or loved. I think it's down to when I first got to Formula One not always knowing what I was saying, saying things that mean one thing but people were taking the other way and then people don't forget.
Lewis Hamilton
#65. There is so much more demand for Formula One than it can supply. You have governments investing in circuits all over the world, and the private sector sometimes has a tough time competing with that.
Mario Andretti
#66. There are no drivers like Formula One drivers. They are engineers, in a way. They are driving manual cars one-handed at 200 miles per hour around streets in Monaco. These cars use the ultimate in technology.
Asif Kapadia
#67. In Colombia maybe 95% of the population follow Formula One. It's crazy.
Juan Pablo Montoya
#68. You should never get away from where the real foundation of Formula One has been, which is Europe. Of course, there is nothing wrong with the expansion to countries like Asia, China, Malaysia.
Mario Andretti
#69. To be teammates in Formula One actually means you are first rivals, not really mates.
Asif Kapadia
#70. When I was given the opportunity to direct 'Senna,' I decided the film had to work for audiences who disliked sport or had never seen a Formula One race in their lives. It had to thrill and emotionally engage people who had never heard of Ayrton Senna.
Asif Kapadia
#71. The banks don't have anything - no rights whatsoever. The banks are shareholders of SLEC, and SLEC has no rights ... I am the CEO of Formula One Management and Formula One Administration, which runs the business in F1. From this point of view, I own F1.
Bernie Ecclestone
#72. My wife is used to Formula One, and she understands the life.

Soroosh Shahrivar
#77. I've always believed in the power of prayer. One prayer can accomplish more than a thousand plans. That isn't a magic formula, but it's an idea that if you pray, keep praying and then praying some more.
Mark Batterson
#78. Luck is when preparation meets opportunity. I'll share the formula I learned while forging my way forward as a full-time painter for forty-four years. The steps all break down to one simple sentence: Make art that connects with enough folks for you to earn a splendid living.
Jack White
#79. Architecture is not about designing somehting from a free, fanciful idea. It is about discovering and establishing one's own principle, some kind of regularity - finding an individual formula to apply to one's buildings.

Pablo Picasso
#81. Healing comes in many ways, and no one formula fits all.
Sharon Salzberg

Parnelli Jones
#83. A man's work is in danger of deteriorating when he thinks he has found the one best formula for doing it. If he thinks that, he is likely to feel that all he needs is merely to go on repeating himself ... so long as a person is searching for better ways of doing his work, he is fairly safe.
Eugene O'Neill
#84. 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
#85. 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.

Georges Braque
#98. 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
