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

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

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

When you win a race like this the feeling is very, very good. There have been times when I have been flat-out to finish sixth, but you can't see that from the outside. In 1980 I finished three or four times in seventh place. I pushed like mad, yet everyone was gathered around the winner and they were thinking that I was just trundling around. But that's motor racing. So in fact the only thing you can judge in this sport is the long term. You can judge a career or a season, but not one race.

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

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.
