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

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.

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.

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.

I have no problem with the people who work hard to get success. But I think people are very jealous about success. I work very hard and they don't appreciate that.

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.

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