The Quotes
Kimi Räikkönen | “So many of the faces that were around me when I made my F1 debut in 2001 are still here and the unique atmosphere of this team is what gives me that extra motivation to keep going. I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t believe in the team’s project and in what we feel we can achieve together.”
Lewis Hamilton | “You want to look back and say I was a part of something much bigger than myself, than my team, than the sport, and I did it with a whole group of people and a lot of force against us, but also a lot of force because there was many of us pushing in the same direction”
Sergio Pérez | [On the prospect of joining Red Bull] “It’s a bit of a hot seat, no? But it’s an opportunity to be with a top team, that are fighting Mercedes pretty much every single race. The season is coming to an end so I think it’s important for teams to know what’s going on, what’s happening going forwards, and for drivers too. I’m looking at all my possible options, and I cannot take too long anymore.”
