I'm brave to say that I won't take this sort of risk.

I have had some problems because the French don't like people to have success, they don't like the number one.

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.

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

I think maybe the English don't want to try something and look stupid, because they are a bit reserved.

I have always had this mentality because I hated to break anything on the car.
