Nothing can separate me from the love of God.

By being a racing driver means you are racing with other people. And if you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver because we are competing, we are competing to win.

It was like I was in a tunnel. Not only the tunnel under the hotel but the whole circuit was a tunnel. I was just going and going, more and more and more and more. I was way over the limit but still able to find even more.

You commit yourself to such a level where there is no compromise. You give everything you have, everything, absolutely everything.

These things bring you to reality as to how fragile you are; at the same moment you are doing something that nobody else is able to do. The same moment that you are seen as the best, the fastest and somebody that cannot be touched, you are enormously fragile.

[talking about the race at Imola circuit] There are no small accidents on this circuit.

Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than others.
