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

Does it scare me, driving into nothing at 300kph? - Of course it does - I'm not an idiot.

When I look fast, I'm not smooth and I am going slowly. And when I look slow, I am smooth and going fast.

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.

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.

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

When I drove for British teams... they called me The Tadpole because I was too small to be a frog.
