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

Nobody's perfect, but all of us can be better than we are.

Oh yes. It's not when you brake but when you take them off that counts. Most people don't understand that.

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.

Cornering perfectly is like bringing a woman to climax.

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.

The years I raced in were fantastic. There was so much change in the cars. We went from treaded tyres to no wings right through to slicks to enormous wings.
