It's going to be a season with lots of accidents, and I'll risk saying that we'll be lucky if something really serious doesn't happen.

I cannot live on an island of prosperity when I'm surrounded by a sea of misery.

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

As soon as you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high.

When you're not happy, you need to be strong to change, resisting the temptation of turning back. The weak goes nowhere

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.

Sometimes I try to beat other people's achievements but on many occasions I find it's better to beat my own achievements. That can give me more satisfaction. I don't feel happy if I am comfortable. Something inside me pushes me when I get comfortable. It makes me go farther and I want to keep pushing.
