You want to have fun but you also want to work well. Sometimes I was quite happy at Ferrari, because we would have fun, but then they could not stop having fun and go back to the real work.

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

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.

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

It's always better to speak the language of the team. Not only for the direct contact with everyone - sometimes it also helps you to understand the mentality of the people in the team a bit better.

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

It's not too good to have this attitude in F1. It could be a disadvantage.
