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

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 have been a huge fan of America, as I find their way of life there is pretty unique, and I have enjoyed a lot of good times over there.

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

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

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.

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.
