I've always believed that you should never, ever give up and you should always keep fighting even when there's only a slightest chance.

An engineer can look at the data, but he needs a translator from the cockpit - the driver - to understand it completely. For example, only the driver can tell you why he abruptly takes his foot off the gas pedal at a certain point. The data doesn't necessarily tell the engineer whether the driver made a mistake at that point or the car was acting up. The information the driver provides often helps determine the direction of development.

With this type of thing there are always different opinions and mine is that it is impossible to blame either one of us. [on a crash with Heidfeld]

I just want to be known as a very normal person and be treated as that and be able to walk down the street like anyone else.

I have really enjoyed my time at Ferrari, not just because of the successes.

Nascar will certainly not be one of my challenges in the future.

When you are part of a community for 14 years, it inevitably shapes you. I will always have a part of Ferrari beside me; a part of my heart will always be red.
