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.

I'm brave to say that I won't take this sort of risk.

I think maybe the English don't want to try something and look stupid, because they are a bit reserved.

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.

I always work the same way, starting from the beginning of the weekend, so I know at the beginning of the race, from all that I have analysed during the practice, whether I will win the race or not.

The people who criticise you will not be the ones taking care of your legs when you are in your wheelchair. People who never drove a car in these conditions, they just don't know.

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