Maybe if Graziano make another work or another sport I wouldn't have had this passion to be a rider.

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

Friendship is very important to me. With some friends, we've known each other since we were kids and it's a very strong relationship. They always tell me what they think even when I am wrong. It's great to share with them the best moments. I also have many friends in the team, and I like to share my passion with them.

I'm very happy because I won a lot. I've won races and lived in a world that just gave me joy, so I remember it very positively.

Motivation is the key. More than training, more than experience or age, motivation counts. You have to ask yourself: 'Why am I racing?' I race because I like it, because I'm really enjoying it. I like to set up my bike and ride it on track. After 20 years in the GPs I'm still highly motivated. Everything else is a consequence.

I am still here because I like to prove myself. I still like to ride the bike on track and enjoy the races. I still have good reasons to be in racing after so many years.

I'm done with F1 unfortunately. I'm too old, the train has passed
