F1 Quotes

I don't care what other people think as long as I am happy. The day I die or retire, I have blown all my chances because I don't have the chance any more to change my image as an F1 driver.
Sebastian Vettel

Change, Happy, Care

IF is a very long word in Formula One; in fact, IF is F1 spelled backwards.
Murray Walker

Long, Fact, Word

I enjoy racing historic motorcars from the '50s and '60s. The seed of my interest was planted when I was about 12 years old and took over my mother's Morris Minor. I drove it around my father's farm. But my favorite car is still a McLaren F1, which I have had for 10 years.
Rowan Atkinson

Car, Mother, Father

It's like when people talk about driving F1 cars in the rain. I have absolutely no problem with it.
Alain Prost

Rain, Problem, Talk

People don't understand that it was maybe my biggest pleasure to drive an F1 car when it's wet.
Alain Prost

Car, Understand, Maybe

I love the role of being the experienced driver and that is definitely the case next year - I think I am the most experienced guy in F1 next year.
Jenson Button

Love, Year, Next

When I do retire, I know for a fact that I'll never be able to replace the incredible feeling I get when I'm driving an F1 car.
Jenson Button

Car, Feeling, Able

I remember my first test in F1. After five laps, I came back to the pits and tried to play it cool - 'Oh yeah, I'm fine, I'm on top of this' - but I was completely lost.
Sebastian Vettel

Cool, Lost, Remember

For me, it was not destiny to make it to where I am now - I thought for a long- time I would become a go-kart mechanic, or a job like this, not an F1 driver.
Fernando Alonso

Time, Job, Thought

To understand the intensity of driving an F1 car, you have to be in it. When you're driving a 750hp machine at 200mph, the noise and the vibrations are incredible. The G-force when you take big corners is like someone trying to rip your head off. You hit the brakes, and it feels as if the skin is being pulled off your body.
Jenson Button

Car, Someone, Trying

To drive an F1 car you have to be a little mad. On the morning of a race there's a mix of excitement and fear. If it's a wet track, then it's worse as you're not in control most of the time, which is the thing all drivers fear the most.
Jenson Button

Time, Morning, Fear

I don't purposely speed, but I might go over by five or six miles an hour from time to time. It doesn't give me a buzz driving on normal roads, because I can't go fast enough. It's never going to be anything like an F1 car.
Jenson Button

Time, Car, Give

If someone was making a movie about F1 in the last six months, they wouldn't need to add a Hollywood ending. If they do make that movie, it's got to be 'The Curious Case Of Jenson Button,' where I've lived my life backwards. I'd like Johnny Depp to play me but he wouldn't be quite right.
Jenson Button

Life, Someone, Play

The only time I think about life beyond F1 is when I contemplate becoming a dad. But there's no way that's going to happen while I'm still racing. To be successful in F1 you need to be very selfish in lots of ways and you're away from home for long periods. That's not the kind of father I want to be.
Jenson Button

Life, Time, Home

It's not too good to have this attitude in F1. It could be a disadvantage.
Alain Prost

You tend to think that there is a big gap between F1 and everything else. F1 is where all the fantastic drivers are, so you just don't know how good you are until you get there.
Jean Alesi

Good, Big, Else

But I could also start F1 or rallying. I love rallying much more.
Valentino Rossi

Love, Start, Rallying

You never really know how quick you are before you reach F1.
Jean Alesi

Before, Reach, Quick

There are a lot of factors in the life of an F1 driver which can combine to make you believe that you are somehow above normality. I think that is a mistake to start believing that. But, at the same time, it is important to be confident.
Damon Hill

Life, Time, Important

My time in the World Rally Championship has been a useful stage in my career, but I can't deny the fact that my hunger for F1 has recently become overwhelming.
Kimi Raikkonen

Time, Career, Become

I am not close to retirement. I still have a lot more that I can achieve. There are younger guys coming into F1, but I am not old and I'm not finished.
Jean Alesi

Old, Achieve, Guys

In F1 too many things overshadow the racing. There is too much politics.
Kimi Raikkonen

Politics, Racing

The Lotus is a couple of years newer than the Williams was, and as the pace of development in F1 cars is so quick, I expect it to be another completely different experience, but still one that I know I'm going to enjoy.
Nelson Piquet

Experience, Different, Enjoy

Through F1, I bought my own boat. I learned to fly my own plane and helicopter. And my job with my company is a reflection of everything motor racing taught me.
Nelson Piquet

Job, Through, Learned
