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.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
When you get out of the car after the feeling that you have after leading the race, and the car fails, it's pretty hard to say positive things all the time.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
I have always wanted to learn the piano, but because I travel so much, I can never get any consistency of lessons. So everywhere I go, if I can find a piano, even if it is in the lobby of a hotel or something, I go on YouTube and pick some songs to learn.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
Formula 1 is the sort of place where people tend to have an opinion about everything, and usually, they tend to believe their own opinion is the right one, even if it relates to someone else.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
I don't drive by the seat of my pants and happen to win races. I work very hard to interpret the data and drive a certain way. My engineers have confidence in me, and more often than not, when I tell them what I need or what I am feeling with the car, it's right.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
Despite the name, 'lift and coast' does not mean cruising. You're trying to be as fast as you can, and you're still going through the corner on the limit, but you have to approach the corner slightly differently; otherwise, you won't make the end of the race.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
I train to quite an intense level because Formula 1 is so physical - the G-forces, the demands on your body. Your heart rate is 150, 160 through the whole race. On qualifying lap, your heart rate can be up to 180, 190, under tough conditions.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
Racing is what I love, so it's pretty simple. I want to keep doing it and keep winning.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
When you're driving on a normal track, you can see the braking point from 500 m. away.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
I think it's a shame that people are so quick to put you in a box; sometimes it's as if you do one thing, and that's all you're allowed to do.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
When I was really young, I busted my nose when I was racing. The first thing my dad asked me was: 'Are you OK?' I said, 'Can you fix the car for tomorrow?' And I won the race the next day.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
I like taking risks. I like trying new things, whether it be style or restaurants or whatever.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
Since I started driving in F1 in 2006-07, the cars have got slower and easier to drive.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
I had a lot of racism growing up where I grew up. Bullied at school. It definitely encouraged me. It's like battle wounds - you come out the other side, and it just makes you tougher.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
I love my ink. They all have a meaning. I'm very strong in my faith, so I wanted to have some religious images. I've got Pieta, a Michelangelo sculpture of Mary holding Jesus after he came off the cross, on my shoulder. A sacred heart on my arm. Musical notes because I love music. The compass on my chest is there because church is my compass.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
Sometimes, I arrive at races more energetic and clear-minded than ever, and then I have a terrible race. And the opposite is also true.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
You save most fuel by lifting and coasting in the heavy braking zones at the end of long straights into slow corners.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
I get kids from all different cultures and nationalities coming up to me now, all wanting to be F1 drivers. They feel the sport is open to everyone.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
I listen to music before every race. Generally, there will be a song I'll get into over the weekend, and I play it all weekend, particularly when I'm getting ready for a race.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
There are times when you are growing through experiences, but sometimes there is a point of diminishing returns in terms of growth.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
I hate losing. It doesn't matter if it's racing or playing Ping-Pong - I hate it.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
It's a pretty cool feeling to be the person to knock down a barrier - just like the Williams sisters did in tennis or Tiger Woods in golf.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
I'm definitely conscious of time. I already waste so much of it, just on a flight. I look back to when I was 13, and I wish I had stuck with my piano studies.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
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.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
My immediate family are from the West Indies - from Trinidad and Grenada - and I have relatives all over the Caribbean.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
Lots of other drivers like cycling, but I'm not so keen. I have some really cool bikes, but I'm just not in love with it like Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
It is open for anyone to have freedom of speech, and I guess we can all play a role in trying to make a difference in the world. Particularly if your leader is not helping in that area.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
When I was younger, all of my family's money went into racing. We were never a stylish family. We never went shopping, because all the money went into buying tires and fuel and all of that.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
Number one is a great thing, and I'll always know that I'm number one, but 44 is my favourite number, so I want to keep it on the car.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
People need to remember that I am the first black driver in F1, so I am obviously going to be different to past drivers.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
I enjoy trying to develop a car and Mercedes are one of the biggest car manufacturers in the world.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
Ayrton Senna was an incredible legend who will be remembered and admired forever.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
You just need to be accepted for who you are and be proud of who you are and that is what I'm trying to do.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
Every person I have met who has gone vegan says it is the best decision they have ever made.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
On my back, I have the cross and angel wings: rise above it, no matter what life throws at you. And also, you know, Jesus rose from the grave.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
Everyone has complicated lives, but the more you can simplify it and make it work for you, the better it is going to be.
Quote by -Lewis Hamilton
I think my style is definitely urban chic. I love mixing street style with the high-end luxury brands, like Gucci, for example. Quite fun.
