Sonny Hayes

• Okay. Red Bull, Ferrari, Mercedes, Aston, now McLaren, all have us beat on the straights. Our shot is battling in the turns. We need to build our car for combat.
• It's all right. You're just worried I'm quicker than you. Hi, I'm Sonny.
• There's twenty other drivers still out on that track. You think any of them respect us?
• It's the last thing I do is drive that car. I will take that life man a thousand times.
• I'm told you're looking for a driver.
• Three laps! Three laps is a lifetime!
• Drive fast.
• Hope is not a strategy. Create your own breaks.
• It's rare, but sometimes, there's this moment in the car where everything goes quiet, my heartbeat slows, it's peaceful, and I can see everything, and no one, no one can touch me. And I am chasing that moment every time I get in the car. I don't know when I'll find it again, but, man, I want to. I want to. 'Cause in that moment, I'm flying.

Joshua Pearce

• I think it's wonderful that Apex is giving second chances to the elderly.
• We just gotta hope for some lucky breaks.
• You're making a mistake, thinking that I'm gonna be some grateful kid who'll bend a knee to an old-timer.

Kate McKenna

• When you look in a mirror, you see this rough and tumble old school cowboy. Doesn't take orders, goes his own way, huh? A lone wolf. Well, I have news for you. Formula One is a team sport. It always was.
• Listen, let's get this straight. We all lose our jobs if you can't pull off a miracle. The only question here is, Why did Sonny Hayes come back to F1?
• They're saying Sonny Hayes isn't a has-been. He's a never-was.

Ruben Cervantes

• I'm offering you an open seat in Formula One. The only place you could say if you win, you are the absolute best in the world.
