For me just the fact to be alive is sufficient motivation to want to improve my life quality.

People ask me to describe myself, but it's a very personal thing. You don't feel comfortable.

I like high speed corners, but with the F111, it is taking a little time to build up to that.

It's always fantastic to be on the podium, and, of course, the top step is always our target.

Between us and the writers, it was comedy hour the whole time. We could hardly get through it.

I don't like letting anyone down. Not many people get satisfaction out of letting others down.

When I started go-karting at the age of six, I always dreamt of becoming a Formula One driver.

It might just be me, but it's tough when you get drivers that don't stay where they should be.

If I am putting myself out there and taking some of these risks, then I want to do it properly.

I've made a lot of friends over the years through racing, but we weren't necessarily teammates.

I am very excited to confirm I will be at BAR. I wish to thank Ferrari for six fantastic years.

Last year was a lifetime, a whole career in one season. We went from being the dregs to winners.

I feel I am promoting the sport well in Australia with what I'm doing on an international level.

I've been fortunate enough that in every form of motor sports in which I've competed, we've won.

Everybody who knows Formula 1 knows McLaren and knows that it is the greatest team in Formula 1.

In rallying every curve, every hill may be different than you thought. That makes it interesting.

When you grow up around racing, you just want to race for a living. It doesn't matter what it is.

I think if you make a mistake, it had better be early in the race so you can bounce back from it.

I studied to be a car mechanic. That was my plan B. Servicing cars and changing tyres in Finland.

It's always good to let people know your emotions for them because love is what drives everything.

If I ever won the Indy 500, I can tell you that I wouldn't worry about my engine, that's for sure.

Money spent in complying with a regulation cannot be spent again on marketing or product research.

All modeling efforts will inevitably converge on the result most likely to lead to further funding.

I based in Brazil, Sao Paulo, but I come very often to the states, and I travel all over the world.

Singapore is a pretty special race with it being held at night; it makes a great show for the fans.

Of course, when I can get an Indy Car or Champ Car race on television, I never miss the opportunity.

I enjoy being outdoors, hanging out with friends, and maybe snapping the neck off a couple of beers.

I feel like I've definitely let some good finishes go because of pushing too hard at the wrong time.

If there are differences in the race pace it is normally because the tyre is overheating on my side.

Before I got in the car, I was puking all over the place and on the grid. I was just a shaking wreck.

The helmet has a special meaning for many drivers. How important is it to you? - It protects my head.

I just want to do my best, to be as close to the top as I can, and to get the maximum out of the car.

Stand on the gas, my friend. If your right foot doesn't ache, you're obviously doing something wrong.

I always remind myself the only thing that matters is I perform on track and that's all I need to do.

If you train hard and work hard eventually you will gain results, and that is the real spirit of life.

Winning is everything. The only ones who remember you when you come second are your wife and your dog.

You go to the ballet and you see girls dancing on their tiptoes. Why don't they just get taller girls?

I won a lot, crashed a lot, and broke just about every bone in my body, but I gave it everything I had

It kind of came a little bit easier in Nationwide once I figured out what I needed to do driving-wise.

I think Formula E truly has the potential to become the future of motorsport. Formula One is the past.

As the son of a racing car designer and mechanical engineer, I was exposed to motorsports from day one.

After you've had Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna as team-mates you don't give a **** who the next bloke is

I am very happy because motor racing is very important outside the states, very big all over the world.

I like people with a good sense of humor, like Jennifer Aniston. She is amazing and is a great actress.

I know I won't be the first one to say this, but Suzuka is definitely my favourite circuit of the year.

At Ferrari they didn't give me the space, and at Honda I had the space but I didn't have the machinery.

Winston Cup and the Busch Series are two totally different leagues. You get put in different situations.

When you're young, the temptation is maybe to think, 'More is more.' But a lot of the time less is more.

All the questions, all the speculation, No. 2 driver and so on, it doesn't get to me. It doesn't matter.

To race Formula three is very high risk and I am not going to take a chance. Thank god I am not doing it!
