I was looking at the history of the sport and I couldn’t understand why there have been so many good South American drivers, especially Brazilians.

I think maybe the English don’t want to try something and look stupid, because they are a bit reserved.

People don’t understand that it was maybe my biggest pleasure to drive an F1 car when it’s wet.

I like the mentality of the Americans. It’s like when you talk about money.

I don’t like to go over curbs, because I don’t want to be hard on the car.

It’s not too good to have this attitude in F1. It could be a disadvantage.

I’m brave to say that I won’t take this sort of risk.

I have had some problems because the French don’t like people to have success, they don’t like the number one.

You can’t always have the best team. It’s always a compromise.

It’s always better to speak the language of the team. Not only for the direct contact with everyone – sometimes it also helps you to understand the mentality of the people in the team a bit better.
