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.
Lance Stroll
The Caribbean is great, but I also love the mountains as well. I'm a big skier, and I love spending time in Switzerland skiing. It really depends.
I think if you don't touch the wall in Monaco, you're not on the limit.
The lows have been frustrating, and very challenging times, but the highs have been phenomenal.
There will always be jealous people and haters: people who assume that if they were in your shoes, they could do what you're doing. That's just the world we live in.
Money can't buy wins.
When opportunities arise, you have to seize them.
I come from a background that, when I win, people try to put me down, and when I lose, people try to put me down. I accept that, and I actually find it kind of funny.
I'll work on my weaknesses and build on my strengths.
Nervous can be good. It means I'm ready to go.
Obviously, it is good to have competitiveness in the team and that urge to want to beat the driver next to you, but at the same time, I think we are gonna respect each other.
The facts prove I deserve to be where I am, and no one can take that away from me, regardless of where I come from.
I do have my targets in terms of what I need to improve on.
If you focus on the negative side, it just brings your confidence down.
I have my little entourage of who I travel with, some friends and people who help me more technically on the track. Obviously, my engineers who I work closely with, we are all in the ship together.
In F1, we see teams spending ridiculous amounts of money. That's the sport.
I just have to take it race by race, focus on what you can do, and the rest is out of your control.
A podium is always possible if you are in the right place at the right time.
I think it is really important to have two drivers who want to push the team in the right direction rather than fighting against one another.
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.
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.
The haters will always hate.
I love racing.
To the general public, it's the nature of the sport that it's a car-dominant sport.
The crucial thing for me is that I stick to my job.
The more experience you have, the less is needed, but I feel like I have good support around me and people helping me to be the best I can be.
I believe I have earned my shot in F1. I have won F3, and we all know F3 is a very high level.
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.
I have a small entourage of people who I trust. I value their opinion on my career. And I stick to those voices. The rest is just background noise.
I won Formula Four. I went to New Zealand and won the Toyota Racing Series. I won the F3 European championship in 2016.
At the end of the day, you drive your car, and that is what you focus on with yourself and your side of the garage, but of course it is always good to have a good relationship. You never want to have a negative battle or the team splitting up in any way.
I've been very fortunate to have had good financial support.
I never really looked at Formula One like that was the long-term goal. I obviously dreamed, and my aspirations were to get to Formula One, but I really started thinking about it in Formula 3 at 16, 17 years old, and I saw that it was right in front of me.
Don't get me wrong: I've had a lot of fortune, to come where I've come from, to be able to move to Europe, to go racing. But I had that fortune behind me. I grabbed it with both hands, and I made the best of it.
I think the right way to work is by focusing on each task at hand and then move forward.
Whether my team-mate is someone with 15 years' experience or someone of one year's experience, my approach doesn't change.
Williams has a long history of nurturing young drivers at the start of their F1 careers.
You want to focus on the fans and on the positive energy that you receive from them.
I still have my life outside of Formula One. It has always been the same.
All I can do is my talking on the track, and I believe that when they look at the facts, people can judge for themselves if it's good or bad.
I have had this opportunity to go on a journey and experience the ride of racing cars, of different championships around the world, go-karts, F3, F4, and now F1. It's been so amazing to be able to experience that. There have been bad days, good days, and it's been a great ride.
I don't want to think results, I don't want to think positions. I just want to come in, do my job, and we'll see where we end up. I think that's the best way to look at it, because then you start focusing on the outcome rather than focusing on the work that it takes to get to that outcome.
I'm showing people what I'm made of, and if people don't want to accept that and face the facts, I can't help that.
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.
After a lot of laps, you start to get dizzy.
I like the beach in the summer and the mountains in the winter.
I love Greece. It's really cool in the summer.
I was always good at gym! Gym classes were good, but school really wasn't my thing, but I did it, got through it. It's definitely important.
As a driver, you have to accept that some years are more challenging than others. That's part of the game.
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.
