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

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.

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.

Resting for me is fitness training.

Don't Fear the fear. Embrace It.

Sometimes, all it takes to change your life is to change your routine.

Iraq has to be made an international, and not just a national American problem.

Barack Obama is an incredibly intelligent, thoughtful, decisive person in pursuing the agenda he sets.

An entire wall in my home is covered with framed pictures of my family and friends. It's nice to go home after a long week of traveling for work and be reminded of memories with the people I love.

Unfortunately I'm still not a fashion expert.

It wasn't that no one asked me to the prom, it was that no one would tell me where it was.

My behavior is a product of my own conscious choices based on principles, rather than a product of my conditions, based on feelings.

Difficulty is one of the prices that we pay for our blessings.

To meditate is to labour; to think is to act. Folded arms work, closed hands perform, a gaze fixed on heaven is a toil.
