Albon: “I am not looking too far into retirement. Y🅰ou have to look at it a little bit. I wi⛎ll look for a cottage... it will be very nice.”

🍬“I can't believe I can say it. I have a contract, so I am all good.”
"Aston Martin are a great team. They are expanding. But t꧙he f♑ocus right now is on this year. I'll leave it as that."
"Always a good driver to raไce against and race with. With him, th♔ere's always respect, he's always going to race hard but fair. Really enjoyed the battles. Such a nice guy, one of those drivers that's not afraid of speaking.”
"A l𒊎egend of our sport. Before I came to F1, he 🤪was one of the drivers I was looking to, taking inspiration from. He was so young when he was successful.
"A real legend. I too, wish him all the best."
"This was not the thought that I had when I spoke to S🌠eb about his future.
"I hope he doesn't stay too far from the pa🐭ddock."
"You know in a way it's sad of course because you're losing💝 a bit of a legend of the sport.
"It's one ofಞ those ones you're sad but also happy for him to sꦏtart 'chapter two' of his life!"
"He is one of veryಌ few multiple-time world champions. There is a r🐓eason for that.
"What he does off the track is also inspiring.
"I've heard he's just got 𝔉an Instagram account which is exciting!"
"Prettཧy impressed with the be🍎ard he's got going at the moment..."
"12 races. Maybe [a total] of 16? Pick the good tracks. Leave the oth🔯e🔥rs out!
Stroll: "The cars are too heavy. I would like to see that improved in the coming years. Off the top of my ༒head, that's something that wou𝓀ld be nice to improve to make the cars a bit more enjoyable, nimble to drive."
"In general they behaved quite well. Just a few individuals ꦺdid not. I hope that is diffe🎶rent, this time."
"I remember that day like it was yesterday, meeting Lewis, he was a superhero to me. It was 13 years ago but it feels like yesterday. Just make the most of the one y𒉰ou life you have so that photo [with Lewis] is a reminder to me."
"We all know the intellect Sebastian has. Sharing quite a f🐓ew meetings with him behind the scenes,𒀰 talking with the FIA or whoever, you do learn how much knowledge he has.
"I am sure that also goes into the technical side. Above all, he's a great bloke, a great human being. We🍸 lack a♔ lot of people like Seb in the world. He will be missed."
"It is true that we need help from Red Bull with reliability 𝕴and DNFs."
"If you 🐼know me, I will not be laying on the beach!
"I don't care about the points gap. It is about being perfect every weekend. I 𝔍won't relax.
"I want to win more races."
"Sඣuch an inspiration and humble bloke. No one has got a bad word to say about Seb. He's good fun to be arou🎶nd. He will be looking forward to everything he's got planned in the future.
"As I said, an inspiration."
"He is a great personality a👍nd a good ambassador for F1.
"I am lucky that I 🅷have been close to him. I have learned lots of things from him - driving behind him or in front of him."
