What people tend to forget is the journey that I had getting to Formula One. There were plenty of years where I had to learn about losing and having bad races.

More quotes by Lewis Hamilton
I want to crush everyone. I want to outsmart everyone.
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
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
In racing there are always things you can learn, every single day. There is always space for improvement, and I think that applies to everything in life.
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
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
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 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
I take as much time as I need. I want to be fresh and smelling good.
Lewis Hamilton
Obviously I am not happy but they can throw what they want at me, I will come back stronger.
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 enjoy trying to develop a car and Mercedes are one of the biggest car manufacturers in the world.
Lewis Hamilton
My Bridgestone tire blows out on a day that Ferrari wins? Smells too convienent to me.
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 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
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
If you don't have the balls to brake late, that's your problem.
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
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 have no fear of death, so I don't think about it. I love the adrenalin kick that danger brings. Others get their kicks bungee jumping from tall buildings. I'm very, very competitive. I want to be the best at everything I do. It's not driving - it's everything - it might be playing my guitar, I try to be the best at it as I possibly can.
