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

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.

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

For a quick lap at the Nrburgring, you've probably experienced more in seven minutes...than most people have experienced in all their life in the way of fear, in the way of tension, in the way of animosity towards machinery and to a racetrack.

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

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

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.
