Driver

I won F4, and I won F3 - F3 by, I believe, the biggest margin in history and as one of the youngest drivers in history. I'm just pointing out facts. I'm not bragging or anything.

The haters will always hate.

I had people put my feet on the ground for me and say, 'No, you don't know everything, and you need to learn this and this and this,' and it took me time to realize that.

To the general public, it's the nature of the sport that it's a car-dominant sport.

When opportunities arise, you have to seize them.

F1 is a team sport, not an individual sport.

It was unbelievable: competing in my home town at a grand prix I was watching when I was three years old. It was massive and a dream come true.

In F1, nobody is here to help you, and you have to make your place, and that is done by everyone individually.

The lows have been frustrating, and very challenging times, but the highs have been phenomenal.

I think Formula One is - there's a lot of differences from track to track, grip levels, tyre compound, so you always have to press the reset button and work from scratch again.

Motor sport is very expensive. It's unfortunate, because you see so much talent that never makes it to the top due to the lack of financial support.

Finishing on the podium in my first year, I never expected that. It just fell into place.

Around 16 years old, when I was in Formula 3 and looking at potential options for the future, that's when I realized that Formula One was in the picture. But to be honest, I really just took it year by year throughout my karting years and stuff.

I love Greece. It's really cool in the summer.

I think I've done a fair bit of my talking on the track over the course of the years, leading up to Formula One and Formula One.

I've learned a tremendous amount. I've gained a lot of experience competing at the highest level with the best drivers in the world in F1.

There are people who are hating you more because of where you are coming from. People like the 'he comes from nothing and made it to F1' story. I know that, but I just do my thing; I focus on my job.

A podium is always possible if you are in the right place at the right time.

You always want someone pushing you all the time who is competitive and at the top of their game so you can become a better driver.

Everyone has a job to do; that's how I see it.
