I like to race, not to do laps alone.

If you're in the best team in the world, you or your teammate have to win.

Ferrari gives you a special feeling.

I don't have any relationship with God and I've never wanted it. I don't believe in fate or in any superior entity; if a plane crashes and people die, it's not because Heaven said so.

I look at myself as someone who has been very lucky - my job is also what I enjoy most in the world, and I can make my life doing it.

My parents are responsible for the two things I like doing most - driving and magic tricks. They bought me my first go-kart and a magician's kit.

The race is lost. You can't overtake here and I'm starting from 15th... It's over already.

I have always been very calm on the outside.

Totally uneventful. It was a very successful first flight. To be honest, it was a little bit boring.

For me, it was not destiny to make it to where I am now - I thought for a long- time I would become a go-kart mechanic, or a job like this, not an F1 driver.

When I race in Australia or Korea or Japan I know it will be a big change for me because Ferrari fans are worldwide.

Why give up?Why give in?

Infinite and finite are both mental constructs.

Perhaps not willingly, but pain can make a man do things he wouldn't willingly do.

When you know yourself—your strengths, joys, limitations, and fears—you can live in truth and transparency in all areas of your life.

Live the life of maximum impact.

It's one of the things I love most about being an author - seeing the different covers from each country.

You need to understand things in order to invent beyond them.

The measure of mindfulness, the touchstone for sanity in this society, is our level of productivity, our attention to responsibility, our ability to plain and simple hold down a job.

I love the whirling of the dervishes. I love the beauty of rare innocence. You don't need no crystal ball, Don't fall for a magic wand. We humans got it all, we perform the miracles.

All of our actions have in their doing the seed of their undoing.
