Technology has certainly reduced performance differences among drivers. Whereas a talented driver could get a half-second out of every lap in the past, nowadays talent makes up for only about one or two tenths of a second. But the driver is still the key factor.

My time with Ferrari was wonderful. I have found friends and had experiences that I would not want to be without.

My kids are not known, and I think that is very important. So far they have lived a normal life, and will continue to do so. I feel they should have the possibility to live a free life without the burden of fame I have created.

You try to hide your emotions, so as not to show weaknesses to others. I believe it's the same for every sportsman.

I'm Michael Schumacher. I don't need to test my driving ability.

I decided on a vision. I think I maybe join Toyota at the midpoint of a project, whose long-term goal is winning world championships. Also I have my big ambition, the drivers' world championship. That is not abandoned - entirely the opposite. I am young enough and motivated enough to make a new start in order to reach this goal.

When you're very successful, you become careless and try to turn many things into routine.
