2018 memora*** quotes:
Hamilton
Show more respect for Sebastian
I was in a perfect place during Singapore qualy
I’m very, very grateful to Valtteri
I was wrong it wasn’t a disrespectful move by Sergey
Never let that energy drop… I tell you that propels me
Max is such an awesome, young talent
I wanted to show ‘Still I rise’
I didn’t mean anything by it
I do believe this team can do it again
Bottas
This luck I am having is like a bad joke
Less big gaps between me and Lewis
Being called a wingman hurts
Seven-tenths is obviously a big gap
It is what it is
I am still allowed to win but it depends…
My job was to bring the car home in P2
Next year I will drive it like I stole it
I was crying like a small baby
Everyone wants to be in this seat
Vettel
I still believe we have a chance
We know what we were doing
I am disappointed for letting the team down
It is an absolutely horri*** moment
Hamilton was the better one of us two
We lost momentum because we were not fast enough
Marchionne was always giving us a lot of pressure
The bottom line is we were missing something
From Singapore onwards we didn’t have the pace
I am sure Leclerc wants to beat me
Raikkonen
No excuse obviously it was a f*ck-up
There is no bullshit between Vettel and me
I drank for 16 days in a row between races
I am the same driver I was 10 years ago
I might be getting older but it’s not too bad!
I don’t believe in doing crazy things
F1 would be much better without media bullsh!t
Arrivabene the best boss I have ever raced for
I don’t see any reason why I should be sad
We will always have the memories
Ricciardo
Holy Testicle Tuesday!
No falling out, no bad blood
Excited for what lies ahead with Renault
I don’t have any answers
I just blew out my vocals
I’ll let Gasly drive it, I’m done with it
I changed the level of overtaking in Formula 1
We’ll party, drink, celebrate and maybe feel sad
Last season with Red Bull made me stronger
We close this chapter now
Change is f*cking terrifying
Verstappen
I’ll head-butt someone…
I guess I still know how to drive
I was shaking with anger but now happiness
Very happy but clearly we’re missing top speed
The car is working better than expected
Call to change my driving style was big bullsh!t
Early in the season I was over-driving
No regrets, I was after an apology
Hamilton’s teammate is not there anyway
My Dad being tough on me brought me to F1
I prefer to win with an unrelia*** car than be consistently slow
If Honda fail there’s always a Plan-B
Hulkenberg
We are a bit behind expectations
Renault qualy-mode not earth shattering
I’m German, I’m a machine, I just do my job!
150 is just a number
If you snooze you lose in Formula 1
We’re just not fast enough any more
I’m hanging here like a cow… get me out of this car!
Sainz
Positive spirit at McLaren is infecting me
Driving for McLaren is kind of a dream come true
Max made me be a better driver
How can these guys not be winning?
Alonso leaving is a big loss for Formula 1
Gasly the safe option for Red Bull
At Renault every aspect can be improved
I’m comforta*** where I am
Grosjean
Gene Haas shows respect for his drivers
No reason why I can’t be F1 world champion one day
I think Ericsson hit us
You’re making bigger a mountain out of a mole… thing
The car is destroyed
I think I had a great performance
Magnussen
Until a top team comes calling I am happy at Haas
The Halo is wrong for Formula 1
I will give everything. I will die in the car
I have apologised to Pierre many times
Alonso is like Neymar they exaggerate a lot
We were racing in Formula Fuelsaving
Alonso
McLaren will battle the Big Three soon
Red Bull will be the next targets
Some of our expectations were unrealistic
Any other driver would have parked the car
We also know there is no magic bullet
I am one of the best to have raced in F1
No brakes, no tyres, out of the points… I don’t care
I quit Formula 1 because I think it’s a weak show
Formula 1 has been a fantastic journey
Vandoorne
McLaren closer to Renault than ever with Honda
Alonso and I are very, very closely matched
I feel 100 percent ready to lead McLaren
The car was undriva***, we haven’t progressed at all
In races, I was very close to Alonso
There were politics but I can’t talk about that
These two years at McLaren the worst I ever had
Ericsson
Latest Ferrari engine a big leap for Sauber
An amazing feeling to be back in the points
To save weight I don’t use a drink system
The most attractive for me is IndyCar
My goal is still to come back into Formula 1
I am all fine, it was a big one
Leclerc
I’m sure Jules and Dad are watching from above
I understood my errors and made a big step forward
I’m not surprising myself
Dreams do come true…
I don’t feel the pressure at all
I need to deliver, I am not going to Ferrari to learn
Ocon
I am not worried
Less and less chance I will be on 2019 F1 grid
There are worse things in life
Lance is my best mate in the paddock
I am surprised by Max’s behaviour
I’m very sorry for Max, it was his race to win
Perez
I have shown what I can do in F1 but I want more
I acted to save Force India and secure their future
I know what I’m doing for next year
I was never interested in McLaren return
We have very promising times ahead of us
You cannot let F1 be separated in two categories
I should have achieved greater things
Gasly
We’re all disappointed because testing went well
I apologise to Brendon for the contact we had
We will see Honda on the top spot with Red Bull
When Helmut called I was in my underwear
I must beat Verstappen to be the best
Hartley
Helmut, I’m a different man
I’m not a believer in superstition, but…
A pretty shitty position to be in
I have unfinished business in Formula 1
I would love to tell the story one day
Stroll
We cannot perform with this car
The car hasn’t improved at all since Australia
Shocking how big of a step backwards we made
I almost forgot what it felt like to score a point
We were struggling with everything
We’ll see what my father decides to do
Sirotkin
I’m sure I will prove my critics wrong
I’m almost living at the Williams factory
The most painful race of the year
I want clarity about my future
I still can’t believe it’s happening
