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

Sebastian [ Vettel] can also learn to be more laid-back. It's never too late to learn. He's got some way to go. He's young and will turn out well. I'm not worried about that. He'll raise the bar ever higher.

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

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.

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.

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

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!
