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

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

It's very hard to win without any problems. To win, you have to fight. And many times, this fight means to indispose in certain ways with some people, to prevail your beliefs. Your point of view, your ideas and your personality above everything. If you don`t fight hard, you lose your own way. And if you lose your own way, you`re nobody. So, to achieve this line of conduct, you have to fight very hard. And in many times, you really have to fight.

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.

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

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.

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