If I didn't even stand a chance of winning races and competing for the title, I don't think I would be that interested in continuing my career.

Ferrari always tries to get the best possible drivers, and my fellow team members have always been highly promising people.

Psychologically speaking, it's very important to be in good shape. I work in a sport that requires you to react quickly and be in excellent shape. Besides, things don't get easier as you get older.

Just being a mediocre driver has never been my ambition. That's not my style.

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

Once something is a passion, the motivation is there.

I have to say it's been tough to leave the Ferrari family, which has been a big part of my career.
