If you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver.
I am not designed to come second or third. I am designed to win.
I believe that we start to see our true personalities when we go through the most difficult moments. This is when we get stronger
Being second is to be the first of the ones who lose.
The past is just data. I only see the future.
I have no idols. I admire work, dedication and competence.
Pure driving, pure racing, that´s what makes me happy.
When you're not happy, you need to be strong to change, resisting the temptation of turning back. The weak goes nowhere
The danger sensation is exciting. The challenge is to find new dangers.
We are made of emotions, we are all looking for emotions, it's only a question of finding the way to experience them.
If you have God on your side, everything becomes clear.

Winning is the most important. Everything is consequence of that.
I cannot live on an island of prosperity when I'm surrounded by a sea of misery.
Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than others.
You will never know the feeling of a driver when winning a race. The helmet hides feelings that cannot be understood.
I believe if you are doing something like competing, like motor racing, you either do well or forget it.
I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.
Nothing can separate me from the love of God.
My biggest error? Something that is to happen yet.
Women - always in trouble with them, but can't live without them.
On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit.
Just because I believe in God, just because I have faith in God, it doesn't mean that I'm immune. It doesn't mean that I'm immortal.
Fear is exciting for me.
Money is a strange business. People who haven't got it aim it strongly. People who have are full of troubles.
It's going to be a season with lots of accidents, and I'll risk saying that we'll be lucky if something really serious doesn't happen.
When you are fitted in a racing car and you race to win, second or third place is not enough.
You must take the compromise to win, or else nothing. That means: you race or you do not.
When a man holds you round the throat, I don't think he has come to apologise.
If you think I'm fast, just wait until you see my nephew Bruno.
