I believe that we start to see our true personalities when we go through the most difficult moments. This is when we get stronger

When a man holds you round the throat, I don't think he has come to apologise.

If you have God on your side, everything becomes clear.

Racing, competing, it's in my blood. It's part of me, it's part of my life; I have been doing it all my life and it stands out above everything else.

If you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver.

We are made of emotions, we are all looking for emotions, it's only a question of finding the way to experience them. There are many different ways of experience them all. Perhaps one different thing, only that, one particular thing that Formula One can provide you, is that you know we are always expose to danger, danger of getting hurt, danger of dying.

I have no idols. I admire work, dedication and competence.
