Running an airline is a normal job. Racing is more.

A lot of people criticize Formula 1 as an unnecessary risk. But what would life be like if we only did what is necessary?

I see myself as the mind of the business which takes care of every last detail; if you do not do this you cannot be fast enough.

My experience enables me to select the very best pilots in the market.

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

Really, you should always discuss the defeats because you can learn much more from failure than from success.

You have a brake in your brain that stops you doing stupid things. The older you are, the earlier that brake comes on. When you're 20 you stop at nothing; when you're older you're cleverer than when you're 20, so your brain brake operates more often!
