This is a fantastic fight for the championship. I'm really confident and believe we can do it.

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 like to race, not to do laps alone.

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.

Life is about fruitfulness

You have to be enthusiastic enough to do what is required for achieving your dreams and goals.

Wholesome solitude, the nurse of sense!

If you do something really cognitively demanding, like buying furniture, it turns out buying furniture is one of the most difficult things we do. Go into a furniture store and look at a sofa.

It's hard when paparazzi are photographing every single thing you do. I'm sure a lot of people made mistakes - they just were not documented the way they are now.

I'm very competitive, I think.

Those services which the community will most readily pay for, it is most disagreeable to render.

When a man does not admit that he is an animal, he is less than an animal. Not more but less.

You will get the most attention from those who hate you. No friend, no admirer and no partner will flatter you with as much curiosity.

The first law of history is to dread uttering a falsehood; the next is not to fear stating the truth; lastly, the historian's writings should be open to no suspicion of partiality or animosity.
