I always sleep really well, particularly before a race, when the adrenaline's pumping.

If I ever have a son, and if he wants to follow in my footsteps in Formula 1, my main responsibility will be to point out some of the negatives.

We all drive differently and have different styles. For me I need a car I can develop beneath me and feel comfortable in. If the car feels neutral and unbalanced it doesn't work for me.

To understand the intensity of driving an F1 car, you have to be in it.

It doesn't matter how much money you've got, or how many connections, there's always something you want that's out of reach.

I always think I should try to get to bed early, but then I can't stop myself from watching telly and fiddling around on the net.

I haven't got the yacht any more. The cost of running it was crazy. But it was so much fun while I had it. I don't regret it.

My father did everything for me. He was awesome.

I love cycling, running and swimming. In recent years I've competed regularly in triathlons, which means I don't find the physical side of driving a struggle any more.

When you're in a car which can win every race, or fight for a win every race, that is pressure.

My time at Honda was amazing. Some of my best times in Formula One, actually. I might not have won races, just one race, but I had a lot of fun.

We need never be without hope because we can never be irreparably broken.

Love is cure, love is power, love is magicof changes, love is the mirror of divine beauty

The enemy of my enemy may be my friend … of course the friend of my friend is often a jerk.

Things are beautiful or ugly only in time and space. The new man's vision being liberated from these two factors, all is unified in one unique beauty.

There is nothing more agreeable in life than to make peace with the establishment and nothing more corrupting.

There are only two cases in which war is just: first, in order to resist the aggression of an enemy, and second, in order to help an ally who has been attacked.

I learned everything about love, watching 'Splash.' That's why I'm still single, so thanks Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah for that.

The consciousness of life is higher than life.

All men start life as a road-user and only few continue it as a road-creator!

It's not just children who need heroes.
