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

I know what I am, and what I have to do in my profession, so I can handle the pressure. It's the way I think.

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

If you do things to the limit, and don’t purposely go over that limit, then I think it’s fine to do whatever you want. So long as you enjoy it. That’s what’s important.

The switch from ten-cylinder to eight-cylinder engines means that each manufacturer has to redevelop its power train. Not all will manage to successfully combine performance with reliability the first time around. That could shake things up a bit when it comes team hierarchy.

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.
