It was the same with Schumacher: the need for the adrenaline rush, to push himself to the limit was always there. So without a Formula One car to race with he went on to do motorcycle racing and other stupid things, and obviously that wasn't enough to keep him happy, so he had a problem to sort out and returning to racing was his answer to the problem.

Jean Todt's system will never succeed, not even with Michael Schumacher.

Taking your first title is much more complicated and more difficult; it takes years of work - from go-kart to Formula One. The second comes more easily, because you've already got the experience.

Whenever there is discussion, I make it clear that I do not want any grey zones, just black and white.

The less you talk, the more time you have for the essential things.

I maintain that the maxim is still to be faster than the others.

From success, you learn absolutely nothing. From failure and setbacks conclusions can be drawn. That goes for your private life as well as your career.
