Sometimes you need to press pause to let everything sink in.

When you walk the track and you see a corner and realise you were going round it at 160mph, you wonder who could be so stupid to take a corner at that speed. But in the car, you don't even think about that.

There are some things that you can fulfil with money, but at the end of the day these are not the things that make you happy. It is the small things that make life good.

If the boat started shaking, we stayed on course and didn't lose focus. That made the difference.

As a driver, your target is always to be with the most competitive team possible.

I don't care what other people think as long as I am happy. The day I die or retire, I have blown all my chances because I don't have the chance any more to change my image as an F1 driver.

Qualifying is all about putting everything that you have and that the car has in one lap. It's like a rush, I really enjoy that.
