A racing driver has to be a good driver.
The winner ain't the one with the fastest car. It's the one who refuses to lose.
Aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines.
As soon as you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high.
The crashes people remember, but drivers remember the near misses.
The racing driver's mind has to have the ability to have amazing anticipation, coordination, and reflex. Because of the speed the car goes.
I have to accept risk as a racing driver.
It is amazing how many drivers, even at the Formula One Level, think that the brakes are for slowing the car down.

And the main motivation to all of us is to compete for victory, it's not to come 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th. I race to win as long as I feel it's possible. Sometimes you get it wrong? Sure, it's impossible to get it right all the time. But I race designed to win, as long as I feel I'm doing it right.
