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.

When you give up your hunger for success you are not racing full-heartedly anymore. Just to be there, that is not my style.

When you look in a mirror, you see this rough and tumble old school cowboy. Doesn't take orders, goes his own way, huh? A lone wolf. Well, I have news for you. Formula One is a team sport. It always was.

I am the best driver because I believe that I am the best. Because every driver needs to think like that, otherwise it’s better to stay at home.

Winning is definitely the ultimate goal, the lessons learned when I don't win only strengthen me.
