I am a racing driver and I am not just some guy who has had an accident and gone back to racing because that is what he enjoys.

Billy Monger

By being a racing driver means you are racing with other people. And if you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver because we are competing, we are competing to win.

Ayrton Senna

Juan Fangio was the great man of racing, whilst Stirling Moss was the epitome of a racing driver.

Jackie Stewart

I always wanted to be a racing driver. Even if it was not F1, it would be something else.

Max Verstappen

Pressure is always a part of a racing driver's life, but my father helped me a lot on my way to becoming a F1 driver.

Nico Rosberg

Gone are the days when you could lie on a beach between races and still be in good enough shape to compete. Gone are the days when simply wearing a brand on your firesuit was enough to justify the marketing expense of an Indy Car. Racing an Indy Car is only about a quarter of my life as a racing driver.

Charlie Kimball

By being a racing driver you are under risk all the time. By being a racing driver means you are racing with other people. And if you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver because we are competing, we are competing to win. And the main motivation to all of us is to compete for victory, it's not to come 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th. I race to win as long as I feel it's possible. Sometimes you get it wrong? Sure, it's impossible to get it right all the time. But I race designed to win, as long as I feel I'm doing it right.

Ayrton Senna

My father was a racing driver, his name is Don Halliday. I grew up with it all around me. I have always been into fast, dangerous sports, even as a child. As soon as I got in a car I knew it was for me and that I would enjoy racing and competing. My mother was also involved in Solo One. She always said I was like my father and would want to compete one day.

Liz Halliday

Before my accident I had to fund my racing through finding sponsors myself so I am use to it. Obviously at that point I was 15 or 16, knocking on business's doors going 'I am a racing driver, a British champion and I want to be in Formula 1, will you give me an amount so I represent your brand'.

Billy Monger

From today I am no longer a racing driver. I'm retired and I am very happy.

Jackie Stewart

The racing driver needs to be fed a diet of other racing drivers.

Carroll Smith

I think as a 20-year-old you expect life to always be easy. You get given a good hand and the chance to race in Formula One. You think the driver can make the difference, can make up for everything else within the team. But that is not the case. You are racing in such a competitive sport so that doesn't happen.
