I am not designed to come second or third. I am designed to win.

Winning is the most important. Everything is consequence of that.

I continuously go further and further learning about my own limitations, my body limitation, psychological limitations. It's a way of life for me.

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

I want to live fully, very intensely. I would never want to live partially, suffering from illness or injury. If I ever happen to have an accident that eventually costs my life, I hope it happens in one instant.

I was already on pole, then by half a second and then one second and I just kept going. Suddenly I was nearly two seconds faster than anybody else, including my team mate with the same car.

Being second is to be the first of the ones who lose.
