“You can see that I have decent pace still in me. There’s no lack of pace, which I’m really grateful for and happy about, regardless of all the negative comments people have made over the times.”
“I’ll keep showing up and I’ll keep delivering.” ❤️

🚨| Sir Lewis Hamilton with nothing but praise for Carlo Santi, his engineering team, and a supportive Fred Vasseur:
"My engineer, he is absolutely awesome and I'm really loving working with him. And my number 2 did a fantastic job this weekend and helped me really pull more performance out of the car, get it into a much sweeter place."
"I was able to attack all the corners finally, and as I said, there's been a lot of changes that I've had to ask for. And Fred has been super supportive and again, also moving mountains in order to make me comfortable, and it is finally starting to show in my performance. So thank you to the team."

“So proud of the team for working so hard. I finally have the engineering team that I’ve been working towards. I think our car is great, the guys did a fantastic job over the winder to get the car where it is. I think I understand it a lot better, I’m much more comfortable with it.”

Naomi Osaka on why she chose to host a party for the black tennis players:
“You know I'm seeing a little bit of-
‘Why can't you love everyone for all skin tones?’ and ‘what if someone had an all white party?! First of all I do love everyone for who they are no matter their race + ethnicity, (I'm literally half Japanese lol). I can only speak from my experiences in my own life though, growing up as a tennis player I didn't see many people that looked like ME and I feel like it's important to celebrate them.
Secondly I feel like it's important to note that there have been all white dinners/parties. I don't know how else to tell you this, I literally seen them all the time and never had an issue with it at all. To the people who ask this question I want to ask you this question too, ‘What is it about POC getting together that unsettles you so much?’
I want to end this by saying I grew up watching my dad get discriminated against, having the cops called on him multiple times at the tennis court. There are multiple things I will apologize for in my life but celebrating being black and appreciating who we are will never be something I would consider saying sorry for. Thanks.
Actually I lied, I am sorry. I'm sorry for the people who cannot comprehend in their brains that this is not about exclusion, this is a celebration about how far we have come 🖤”
