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.

When there is an accident involving fire, in most cases death is caused by the inhalation of the toxic smoke. What we need is air to go to a driver for 45 seconds. I'm surprised that this is not done, and I would make it compulsory.

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

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 today I am no longer a racing driver. I'm retired and I am very happy.

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

There is no doubt that Formula 1 has the best risk management of any sport and any industry in the world.
