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.

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

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.

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 like the mentality of the Americans. It's like when you talk about money.

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

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.
