People get excited around me and behave differently than they would normally. I don't feel different from anyone else, except that I drive a racing car round in circles faster than somebody else.

I cant really imagine life without Formula One.

I will do everything I can to bring the number one to Ferrari. The whole team and all the fans deserve it.

I hate to take compromises with a racing car. The more standard a car is, the more compromises you have to take.

I'm not very comfortable with what people sometimes say or think about me - things I don't feel responsible for.

Once something is a passion, the motivation is there.

Ferrari always tries to get the best possible drivers, and my fellow team members have always been highly promising people.
