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

Everything has changed. When I was at school and was told I had better learn English, I said: What for? The English are a hell of a long way away!

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.

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

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