Australian Grand Prix: Key Quotes
George Russell (Williams): "I want to become a Formula One world champion.
"I recognise that it is an incredible achievement to make it to this stage, but the journey starts again.
"I don't want to be here for one or two seasons. I want to be in F1 for 15 or 20 years, and the only way I am going to do that is by giving my everything and competing at this level.
"It's very surreal because this has been my dream, and I have to recognise that F1 isn't football and there aren't hundreds of opportunities at different clubs in different leagues in different countries.
"F1 has room for only the best 20 drivers in the world, and being a part of that elite group is incredible."
