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.

If you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver.

If you're in control, you're not going fast enough.
