Our sport is dangerous. We risk the life out there, so we need to stay calm and focused and leave all the rest out.

I don't like being famous - it is like a prison. And driving for Ferrari would make it far worse.

The tragic incident of Luis Salom reminds us that our sport, our passion, is dangerous. We know it but, in a way, we don't think about it.

To win the Championship in the first year will be hard. We need time to become competitive and win races.

I am able to ride the bike and think clearly about strategy and tyres. I also have positive thinking. I am very constructively critical.

Maybe the bike is more dangerous, but the passion for the car for me is second to the bike.

My approach to the races hasn't changed in my 20-year career. If I have the chance to attack and to pass, I do it, trying to get the best possible result.
