In my time, you needed to speak a little Italian, and that was it.

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

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.

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

Women rule our lives, don't they?

You must always strive to be the best, but you must never believe that you are.

In my day it was 75 percent car and mechanic, 25 percent driver and luck. Today it's 95 percent car.
