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

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

I was looking at the history of the sport and I couldn't understand why there have been so many good South American drivers, especially Brazilians.

I was very interested in that. It is very important to have confidence as well as to build up experience.

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

So in fact the only thing you can judge in this sport its the longterm. You can judge a career or a season, but not one race.

When I test I never go right to the limit. Only because when you are below the limit you can go at the same speed all day, and that's the only way you can be absolutely sure about what you are testing.
