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

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

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

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.

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

A German team could be quite good. But maybe they are a little bit too convinced that they are the best.

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