Never think that success is down to your own performance alone. If you start listening only to yourself you take the first step back towards the bottom. The flowers of victory belong in many vases.

Ross Brawn knows that I prefer to have odd race numbers.

I have what you might call the South Pole and the North Pole. I have my team and my work, which I do on one side, and I have my family and my home on the other side. Both have nothing really to do with each other.

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.

The more precisely I can drive, the more I enjoy myself.

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.

I like working in a team, and at Ferrari there is always good cooperation.
