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.

I am someone who places great value on the detail. That was always the case, even in my days as a racing driver.

To make a decision you need to be in a perfect environment: you have to be motivated and surrounded by the right people.

Airlines go in the long run at the competition to reason. For the passenger the competition is good, because each competitor tries to undercut the other one.

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.

I always want to know whether the customers are satisfied; customer satisfaction is, after all, my ultimate goal!

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.
