Racing is the constant search for the weakest link.
I love cycling. I am going to keep racing as hard as I can until this body doesn't allow me to any more.
This would have been Senna's third win a row if he'd won the two before
You can't make a racehorse out of a pig. But if you work hard enough at it you can make a mighty fast pig.
At the end of the day I'm not racing for recognition, I'm not racing for popularity, that's not who I am. I'm focused on the result and trying to get the best out of myself from a sporting capacity. That's what really motivates me.
My mind is always racing, and always going and always working, and it's a gift and a curse.
I wish they would pass a law where all Democrats and Republicans had to wear NASCAR racing suits, because if you look at the NASCAR drivers, it tells who their sponsors are. And if they do that, we could then become informed voters, because we would know who owns them.
It is dangerous and unbelievably fast and entirely different from the kind of track I am used to racing on
I come from an ordinary family - my dad is a carpenter, a roof-maker - and we've always loved racing together.
Racing, competing, it's in my blood. It's part of me, it's part of my life; I have been doing it all my life and it stands out above everything else.
The fire, the fire. It rages within, a campfire and then an inferno, and my body is its fuel. I feel it racing through me, eating away at the weight. There is nothing that can kill me now; I am powerful and invincible and eternal.

In any racing engine, the nearer you are to it disintegrating, the better it's performance will be
I believe if you are doing something like competing, like motor racing, you either do well or forget it.
I really don't (stay calm) all the time. I just try to. Part of not just racing but in life, I try not to let the highs be too high and the lows be too low. I try to stay somewhere right in the middle. In racing it's not always easy to do. You can get too excited or overconfident when things are going good and it's easy to get too far in the ditch when things are going bad.
You win some, lose some, and wreck some.
I am focused on racing. I enjoy it. It's a great feeling to be back fighting for the title.
Second place is just the first place loser.
I started racing go-karts. And I love karts. It's the most breath taking sport in the world. More than F1, indeed, I used to like it most.
