“The way I drive, the way I handle a car, is an expression of my inner ...” — Lewis Hamilton Quote

The way I drive, the way I handle a car, is an expression of my inner feelings.

I had a lot of racism growing up where I grew up. Bullied at school. It definitely encouraged me. It's like battle wounds - you come out the other side, and it just makes you tougher.

Everyone loves a winner. That's just how the world is. And Ayrton Senna was one of the greatest winners this sport has ever had.

I like taking risks. I like trying new things, whether it be style or restaurants or whatever.

Tupac is my favorite artist, and he had mad style.

You mostly defend with your head, always reacting to the movement of opponents and teammates. I had to become more aware of that, play with much more consideration, the way you drive a car: you always need to look left, right, and the rear mirror to see what's going on around you.

I've always worked on my own home and different places that I've owned. I really enjoyed it. But I'm a mechanic, a motorcycle and car builder.

Failures are much more dramatic than successes, and people like drama. I think this is why automobile races draw such crowds. People expect spectacular crashes, which we tend to find more interesting than cars just racing around the track. The same is true of bridges, buildings, or any structure or machine.

I've always been asked, 'What is my favorite car?' and I've always said 'The next one.'
