One of my biggest problems this season was with the clutch at the start of the race. I hate to risk the car.

I have had some problems because the French don't like people to have success, they don't like the number one.

That is an important part of my success. Another big part of my success is that I hated not to finish a race.

Maybe I am not French, maybe I am from nowhere.

Sometimes I think I could have got some better results if I had a different mentality; if I could have pushed hard and attacked. But then I would have had a good chance of making a mistake.

In 1980 I finished three or four times in seventh place.

I don't like to go over curbs, because I don't want to be hard on the car.
