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

You can't always have the best team. It's always a compromise.

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

A German team could be quite good. But maybe they are a little bit too convinced that they are the best.

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.

People don't understand that it was maybe my biggest pleasure to drive an F1 car when it's wet.

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