When people want to built new tracks, they want to look at Silverstone. We don't want it built like that. It's quite embarrassing.

I have no regrets about the amount of work I put into the sport. This is what I needed to do with my life.

Lewis [Hamilton] is a hero in the UK. The British love Formula One. Sebastian (Vettel) is also not doing much for F1. People hardly recognize him on the street.

Actually I think I have forgotten how it was back then. Or probably not - I didn't qualify. There were only 16 cars in the race.

I have so much respect for [Bernie Ecclestone] for what he did with this sport. He did so much more than people in tennis or football.

If somebody says, "You like putting out fires," and I say, "It's not a case of liking it, but I do put them out, and if there aren't fires left I make them, so I can put them out." It's what we do.

A wise man who was always helpful to me: Mr (Enzo) Ferrari. He always supported me.
