The driver of a racing car is a component. When I first began, I used to grip the steering wheel firmly, and I changed gear so hard that I damaged my hand.

Driving fast on the track does not scare me. What scares me is when I drive on the highway I get passed by some idiot who thinks he is Fangio.

Never think of your car as a cold machine, but as a hot-blooded horse.

A crazy man finishes in the cemetery.

You need great passion, because everything you do with great pleasure, you do well.

When I raced with Mercedes, I thought Id learn German. But my wife didnt want to live in Germany.

I told my nephew that if he wanted to get on in motor racing, the first thing he should do was master English. Thank goodness he now speaks it.
