Juan Fangio was the great man of racing, whilst Stirling Moss was the epitome of a racing driver.

It takes leadership to improve safety. And I started off the movement in my time, but the person who has done more over the past 20 to 30 years and who has led it is Professor Sid Watkins.

From the five years, 1968-73, if you were an F1 driver at that time, there was a very likely chance that you would have died.

Cornering is like bringing a woman to a climax. Both you and the car must work together. You start to enter the area of excitement at the corner, you set up a pace which is right for the car and after you've told it it is coming along with you, you guide it along at a rhythm which has by now become natural. Only after you've cleared the corner you can both take pleasure in knowing it's gone well.

It is not always possible to be the best, but it is always possible to improve your own performance.

In one year I travelled 450,000 miles by air.

I would have been a much more popular Wolrd Champion if I had always said what people wanted to hear. I might have been dead, but definitely more popular.
