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.

When you win a race like this the feeling is very, very good.

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

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

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

Do you know, why I really love my helmet that much? Because it makes me 15 centimetres taller!

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.
