There is no reason not to be motivated. You cannot always be the best. But you can do your best.

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

What I admire is people who are grounded and resistant to all kinds of whisperings. Kimi Raikkonen, for example. You may like him or not, but he lives his way. He does the things he has identified as worthy for him and he is not trying to be everybody’s darling. At least he doesn’t give that impression. He is straightforward and honest and he tells you if he has a bad day. Period. He is real. He’s not political. He’s never up to something. If he doesn’t want to tell you something he will say so and not hum and haw. He doesn’t beat around the bush, never coming to the point.

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.

The moment money becomes your motivation, you are immediately not as good as someone who is stimulated by passion and internal will.

If anyone can achieve the impossible it’s you. Please, please, get it again.

Teams like Ferrari, McLaren and Mercedes are going to be very, very motivated to go for the titles.
