The Quotes
Lewis Hamilton | “The drivers’ title doesn’t necessarily impact people’s lives. Trying to improve conditions for people around the world – equal human rights – that’s the most important thing to me. Matching an icon like Michael; I’d be incredibly proud of that. But it’s more the message it sends to not just kids, but mostly kids, that you have to dream bigger than you think you can dream and don’t let anyone tell you you can’t go for that.”
Daniel Ricciardo | [On if there is any awkwardness racing against future team McLaren] Not at all. I looked at myself, and I really made a promise to them that I’ll do all I can before the chequered flag in Abu Dhabi and there’s no fun and games. Next year, when the page turns, I’m all in with McLaren – but until then I’m going to keep going at Renault.”
