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.

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

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

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 either commit yourself as a professional racing driver that's designed to win races or you come second or you come third or fifth and am not design to come third, fourth or fifth, I race to win.

Fear is exciting for me.
