More quotes by Lewis Hamilton
My saying is We win and lose together. I think that really does apply to both my fans, family and the team.
Lewis Hamilton
I've tried lots with my hair. Obviously I used to have it as a number one all over, super easy, but then I started to grow it out. I had an afro and then I got rid of the sides.
Lewis Hamilton
I feel like I've been blessed with the ability to do what I do and I guess, I ultimately want to be remembered for being an out-and-out racer just driving at the seat of my pants and doing it the right way and winning for the right reasons. The right values.
Lewis Hamilton
Now each race is different every time because it's a different journey to get to it - the difficulties you faced getting the car into that position. I manage myself. I chose my team myself. So there's a huge satisfaction for me.
Lewis Hamilton
I don't aspire to be like other drivers - I aspire to be unique in my own way.

Lewis Hamilton
It was my 44th win [in Monaco] 44 is my race number and it's been my number since I was 8. And it's my family's number as well. So it was a special day, for sure.
Lewis Hamilton
There's so much more power, so you're short-shifting all the way down into fifth, sixth, seventh before you can get the full throttle. But great fun otherwise.
Lewis Hamilton
I always want to be the best at what I do. As a kid, whatever I was doing, if I was playing football or whatever I was applying my energy to at the time, I always wanted to do it to the best of my abilities. And I was always interested in finding out how I could do it better.
Lewis Hamilton
I was trying to control myself because I wanted to just park the car and jump out and do cartwheels. The next dream is to win the world championship.
Lewis Hamilton
I can't go to the cinema. I go to the bathroom in a petrol station and people come in there for autographs. It's tough but I knew that was going to be the case.
Lewis Hamilton
Nothing can really prepare you for when you get in the Formula One car. Knowing that you're driving a multimillion-dollar car, and if you crash it it's going to cost a lot of money, and they might not give you another chance, is scary.
Lewis Hamilton
During the race, we lose 2-4 kilos of liquids.
Lewis Hamilton
We have 21 races in the year and Monaco is the one that you want to win.
Lewis Hamilton
That's the great thing about today, having smartphones to stay in touch and share experiences. Knowing that whilst there may be thousands of miles between you, it's almost like they're there. That's the coolest thing, and that's how I stay in touch with the people that are important to me.
Lewis Hamilton
I have so much music to release, but I'm meticulous. I'm like, You've got to redo that part, redo that part. And people are like, Just forget that and go ahead with it. But it's all about perfection, about trying to make it as good as you can.
Lewis Hamilton
I grew up going to the store, seeing the products [of L'Oréal ], seeing the commercials and the ambassadors. I never in a million years thought I'd be associated with them.
Lewis Hamilton
You just need to be accepted for who you are and be proud of who you are and that is what I'm trying to do.
