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

I’ll work on my weaknesses and build on my strengths.

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.

I know the Paul Ricard track from when I drove in Formula 3.

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 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.

I believe I have earned my shot in F1. I have won F3, and we all know F3 is a very high level.

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.

I won Formula Four. I went to New Zealand and won the Toyota Racing Series. I won the F3 European championship in 2016.

I still have my life outside of Formula One. It has always been the same.

It’s an incredible opportunity to work alongside my father. We have the same ambitions, the same vision.

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.

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.

As a driver, you have to accept that some years are more challenging than others. That’s part of the game.

You want to focus on the fans and on the positive energy that you receive from them.

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 love Greece. It’s really cool in the summer.

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

I just have to take it race by race, focus on what you can do, and the rest is out of your control.

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.

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 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’m feeling better every race; it’s just about staying in it and continuing to push to learn, and I don’t doubt it will come.

If you focus on the negative side, it just brings your confidence down.

I think the right way to work is by focusing on each task at hand and then move forward.

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.

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.

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 do have my targets in terms of what I need to improve on.

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.

The crucial thing for me is that I stick to my job.

Money can’t buy wins.

My job remains the same, regardless of who is on the other side of the garage.
