I cant really imagine life without Formula One,
Never think that success is down to your own performance alone. If you start listening only to yourself you take the first step back towards the bottom. The flowers of victory belong in many vases.
I've always believed that you should never, ever give up and you should always keep fighting even when there's only a slightest chance.
Once something is a passion, the motivation is there.
Just being a mediocre driver has never been my ambition. That's not my style.
If you're lucky enough to be famous, then it's great if you can use your fame and the power your fame gives you to draw attention to things that really matter.
If you look right from the beginning of the season I've been very competitive.
It was a bit of a struggle, but luckily we know overtaking is nearly impossible here.
I have been in Formula One for 12 years, and out of that I had one year with the perfect car.
Somehow I have managed to delay looking old. In reality I have good genes.
I look forward to fighting them again next season.
Your ups and downs in sports, I think they are as normal as daily life: One day you wake up and feel great, the next day you wake up and feel maybe less great.
I hate to take compromises with a racing car. The more standard a car is, the more compromises you have to take.
