You win a race, the next race it’s a question mark. Are you still the best or not? That’s what is funny. But that’s what is interesting. And that’s what is challenging. You have to prove yourself every time.

I retired simply because I didn't have the passion and motivation anymore, I was tired. At the time I thought, 'Well, I had a great time, there is the end.' At some moment there is the right time to call it an end.

I don't feel like promising big things to my fans. I'm not thinking about victory at all. I'll do my best to get on the podium at least, although I must admit I feel fairly pessimistic.

Somehow I have managed to delay looking old. In reality I have good genes.

Once something is a passion, the motivation is there.

I like to share my life, and spend time with someone I love. That has worked 100 per cent with my wife.

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