"When my mind is spiraling it can feel like everything is spiralling."

"Going through these experiences and almost being confronted with it has allowed me to accept that that's part of who I am. Its also helped me acknowledge that it's going to be a matter of deliberate practices daily or weekly that I do to cope and manage it for the rest of my life.[...].

At this point it has helped me lead a healthier life, that hasn't taken away the anxiety itself, but it gives you the tools that you need to be able to not only live with it, but thrive with it."

"A very male dominated and macho industry is starting to look inside
itself a little bit more and realise that you don't have to be this
tough guy 100% of the time, because if you do, I think you'll soon
expire." #wellbeing #mentalhealth #formula1

(They) have real-life problems like every 19-to-20-year old, except now they're thrown onto the stage and the world's watching and they have to go out and deliver. [...] Just because they can put a ball through a basket doesn't mean they're

I tried to be a perfectionist very early on, tried to do everything right, 110 per cent. Without realising that was having a negative impact. Unable just to switch off even, allow myself to be that young David Gillick, go out with my mates, have a laugh.

"You go from huge highs of taking part in sport to big lows that follow when you cannot compete any more. Even if you tell them it is going to be alright, tell them what depression feels like, and not to feel bad about, it is a common thing" #depression
