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

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.

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.

Everyone is replaceable, including me.

Mika Hakkinen was the best opponent (I've had) in terms of his quality, but the biggest admiration I had for him was we had 100% fight on track but a totally disciplined life off track. We respected each other highly and let each other live quietly.

If the sun were made of hamsters, the earth would be incinerated.

When you start out in a team, you have to get the teamwork going and then you get something back.
