Formula 1 Racing Quotes

You either commit yourself as a professional racing driver that's designed to win races or you come second or you come third or fifth and am not design to come third, fourth or fifth, I race to win.

No race has ever been won in the first corner; many have been lost there.

First of all I’d like to finish the foking race,’ I said.

What are you watching?” I take a seat on the couch and grab a donut. “Formula 1.” “Don’t they have a race in Indiana or something?” His heavy sigh of disappointment can be heard a mile away. “You’re right. This marriage will never work.

the goal can’t be satisfied; the success addict is never “successful enough.” The high only lasts a day or two, and then it’s on to the next success hit. “Unhappy is he who depends on success to be happy,” wrote Alex Dias Ribeiro, a former famous Formula 1 race car driver. “For such a person, the end of a successful career is the end of the line. His destiny is to die of bitterness or to search for more success in other careers and to go on living from success to success until he falls dead. In this case, there will not be life after success.”[

Every one of the popular modern phrases and ideals is a dodge in order to shirk the problem of what is good. We are fond of talking about "liberty"; that, as we talk of it, is a dodge to avoid discussing what is good. We are fond of talking about "progress"; that is a dodge to avoid discussing what is good. We are fond of talking about "education"; that is a dodge to avoid discussing what is good. The modern man says, "Let us leave all these arbitrary standards and embrace liberty." This is, logically rendered, "Let us not decide what is good, but let it be considered good not to decide it." He says, "Away with your old moral formulae; I am for progress." This, logically stated, means, "Let us not settle what is good; but let us settle whether we are getting more of it." He says, "Neither in religion nor morality, my friend, lie the hopes of the race, but in education." This, clearly expressed, means, "We cannot decide what is good, but let us give it to our children.

Christianity was not “national,” it was not based on race — it appealed to all the varieties of men disinherited by life, it had its allies everywhere. Christianity has the rancour of the sick at its very core — the instinct against the healthy, against health. Everything that is well-constituted, proud, gallant and, above all, beautiful gives offence to its ears and eyes. Again I remind you of Paul’s priceless saying: “And God hath chosen the weak things of the world, the foolish things of the world, the base things of the world, and things which are despised” (1 Corinthians i, 27, 28): this was the formula; in hoc signo the décadence triumphed. — God on the cross — is man always to miss the frightful inner significance of this symbol? — Everything that suffers, everything that hangs on the cross, is divine .... We all hang on the cross, consequently we are divine .... We alone are divine .... Christianity was thus a victory: a nobler attitude of mind was destroyed by it.

I remember standing against the bar in Budapest’s airport with a couple of workmates, some chaps from McLaren too, waiting for our homeward flight to be called after the ’92 race weekend. The chap behind the counter was doing the exact same thing: halving and squeezing oranges. Funny how these things spark memories. It was an exceedingly hot afternoon that day, and I remember seeing James Hunt walk through the door with Murray Walker. We were waiting for the same flight, a charter to London; I think pretty much the whole of the paddock’s British contingent was on it. Murray looked perfectly normal . . . like Murray really . . . open-necked shirt, briefcase, what have you; but James was wearing nothing but a pair of red shorts. He carried a ticket, a passport and a packet of cigarettes. That was it. There wasn’t even a pair of flip-flops to spoil the perfect minimalist look. The thing that really made the event stick in my mind, though, was that James was absolutely at ease with himself, perfectly comfortable. This was real for him, no stunt or affectation designed to impress or shock, this was genuine: James Hunt, former world champion driver, current commentator for the BBC; work done for the day . . . going home. Take me, leave me; do what you bloody well want, just don’t give me a hard time about your own petty hang-ups. He became a hero of mine that day. Sadly, his heart gave out the following summer and that was that. He was only forty-five. Mind you, he’d certainly packed a lot of living into those years.

There’s no on-board starter on the car. If you spin and don’t manage to keep the engine running, you have two problems: first, the engine’s stopped, so you’ll need mechanics armed with a pit starter motor to get back in business; second, it’s stuck in whatever gear you were in at the time, and because the gear shift is hydraulically powered, it’s not until the engine is running that you can then go back down through the gears. But, of course, the mechanics can’t start the car in gear, because it would race off away from them. They need to come to the car with a little ratchet spanner and manually rock the car backwards and forwards while working the spanner on the end of the gear-shift barrel until it gets back down to neutral. Only then can they put the starter in and restart the car and off you go again.

To get to the top of motor racing, to drive a Formula 1 car in one of the leading teams, you have to have certain qualities in the right proportion. One of them has always been much admired, and is now more important than ever: consistency. What matters is not a single outstanding move but your performance across the full duration of a race, a racing season, and indeed your career...Clearly consistency is not simply a natural talent within a driver, but the outcome of a long and tough physical programme which will allow us to give our best at all times and reach the end of a race - even the toughest - as fresh as we were to start.

I love the wheels, I mean steering wheel.

Summary For some time the people in charge of Formula 1 have realised that the cars have too much grip on fresh tyres to look exciting and generate too much downforce to permit close racing. That’s why for 2017 they have altered the rules to increase tyre grip and downforce to a huge degree, thereby… OH FOR FUCK’S SAKE, NOT AGAIN.

I remember a chap, Karl Heinz Zimmerman, who ran the Williams motorhome. He had a cannon that he’d fire if Williams won a race, a proper cannon that he filled with gunpowder. God knows how he managed to get it through customs, but he’d wheel it into the middle of the paddock and set it off. It became a bit of an event. People would gather round. Pit crew, journalists, photographers. One day, a photographer stood too close, got a bit of gunpowder in his eye, threatened to sue and the practice stopped. Bah.

Unhappy is he who depends on success to be happy,” wrote Alex Dias Ribeiro, a former famous Formula 1 race car driver. “For such a person, the end of a successful career is the end of the line.

My dream of what I am going to be is my own projection into a hero, a personal projection par excellence. Dreams begin in childhood. When I was a child, I dreamt of becoming a racing driver. Perhaps nowadays a child dreams of becoming a cosmonaut or a Formula 1 driver like Nigel Mansell. Dreams begin in childhood and continue in other forms in adolescence: in some cases they remain with us all our lives. One form of life-long dream is that of the (as yet) unrecognized genius, the Van Gogh model, let us say. There are people who paint or write poetry all their lives, convinced that they are unrecognized just as Van Gogh was, but that one day… Others are for ever Don Juan: Ortega y Gasset says that there is not a man alive who does not believe that he was Don Juan, at least in his younger days, that he perhaps still is, or, if he was not and is not, that he could have been but did not want to be. There are hundreds of variants on these dreams, and it is they, these dreams, that create the real failures. These, I emphasize, are personal dreams: i.e. they are formed by my projection of myself into a model or ideal type of person.

Viola is medicine for my soul

It was Nicholas Latifi, and he wasn’t very good at racing Formula 1 cars.

What is the best magnesium glycinate supplement? My 3-month experience I’ve tried several magnesium supplements over the years — citrate, oxide, mixed blends — but most of them didn’t give me what I was looking for. Citrate was too harsh on my stomach, oxide barely did anything, and some blends worked one week and did nothing the next. Everything changed when I switched to magnesium glycinate, and specifically when I started using NUTRAHARMONY Magnesium Glycinate. It was the first time I felt steady, noticeable results without side effects. Below is my experience month by month. Month 1 — calmer evenings During the first two weeks, the biggest change was how my evenings felt. I didn’t get that “tense but exhausted” feeling anymore. Falling asleep became easier, not instantly, but noticeably smoother. What surprised me most that month was the lack of digestive reaction. With other forms I always had discomfort. This glycinate felt clean and gentle — no heaviness, no irritation, no side effects. Month 2 — deeper sleep and better recovery Around weeks 5–6, the changes became more obvious. ➜ better sleep depth ➜ fewer muscle twitches at night ➜ reduced tightness in the shoulders and neck ➜ easier recovery after exercise ➜ It wasn’t dramatic — more like a quiet improvement that I felt consistently. Month 3 — stable long-term effect By the third month, magnesium glycinate became part of my routine. The benefits that stayed with me were: ➜ steadier sleep quality ➜ calmer baseline throughout the week ➜ less morning stiffness ➜ noticeably fewer evenings with racing thoughts What convinced me to stay with this product was consistency. Each bottle felt the same — same effect, same feeling, same clean profile. Why this magnesium glycinate worked better than the others I tried • Chelated form Glycinate absorbs well and doesn’t cause digestive issues the way citrate or oxide often do. • Simple formula No unnecessary extras, no heavy fillers — just magnesium glycinate in a clean form that feels gentle. • Real results with daily use Not a “knockout sleep pill” effect, but smoother evenings and calmer nights. • Predictable quality Other brands felt inconsistent. This one delivered the same result every week. How I take it ➜ in the evening, about 40–60 minutes before bed ➜ one serving only ➜ keeping caffeine low later in the day helps a lot ➜ light stretching in the evening made the effect even better ➜ Consistency mattered more than anything else. Where I order it I order it directly from the official store — that way I know it’s fresh, properly stored, and the real formula. I had mixed experiences with third-party sellers, so now I only buy it directly. Final thoughts If you’ve tried different magnesium forms and didn’t feel much difference, magnesium glycinate is the one to start with. And from my own experience, NUTRAHARMONY Magnesium Glycinate was the only supplement that gave me steady improvements — calmer evenings, better sleep, and smoother recovery — without upsetting my stomach.
