Formula One is not sport. Formula One is only intense competition between teams where the competition is really the research, the technology.

Alex Zanardi

And I've always - the competition is one aspect of the job, but I think if you're too busy worrying about the competition, you don't focus enough on what you're doing.

Katie Couric

I'm very happy to be joining the Venturi Formula E Team and the Formula E championship, which has become a magnificent competition in such a short space of time.

Felipe Massa

When you're talking about proper competition, I think Formula E has good competition.

Felipe Massa

We love Formula One and think Formula One's great. But we think Formula E is different. We would be making a big mistake if we tried to compete with Formula One and be similar to Formula One, we have to be radically different to Formula One to have a chance of survival. I don't mean survival by beating Formula One but co-existing complimentary to Formula One.

Richard Branson

Competition is always a good thing. It forces us to do our best. A monopoly renders people complacent and satisfied with mediocrity.

Nancy Pearcey

Bayern have always been quite successful in European competition, but the competition is not a wish concert: you always have to be fit.

My main focus, my pride is right there on the block. That's where I've always played and my focus has always been.

Jahlil Okafor

Since I was a child I've been looking up to Formula One. Dreaming to be a Formula One driver.

Charles Leclerc

Since 2000, it's been a privilege and honor for me to be on the competition committee. And our main focus... is player safety.

Jeff Fisher

People always say there is competition in nature, but I think that because we are human, it's not only competition. Because we are human we have something other than competition - sharing, helping others, or being oneself. Competition is really kind of ugly.

Michel Gondry

A colleague saw the same model-calibrating the elasticity of demand facing a Cournot oligopolist as a function of the number of firms in the industry--described at the University of Chicago and at M.I.T. A Chicago economist derived the formula and said, "Look at how few firms you need to get close to infinite elasticities and perfect competition." An M.I.T. economist derived the same formula and said, "Look at how large n has to be before you get anywhere close to an infinite elasticity and perfect competition."

Matthew Rabin

Tomorrow I will have new competitors such as Google, Microsoft, and Facebook coming into my garden. I'd rather focus on the competition of tomorrow than combine with the competition of today.
