“I prefer to focus on what is coming next and I am really looking forward to it.”

When I went into the last lap I was regretting a bit that it was over. I was enjoying again the first sector for the last time.

The day I die or retire, I have blown all my chances because I don’t have the chance any more to change my image as an F1 driver.

All in all it was a smooth race, the car was very well balanced. I’m very proud to be the first winner here in India.

If you are out in two races and someone else has a good couple of races, it could change. So all we do is try to get the optimum every time.

I’m very proud to be the first winner of the Indian Grand Prix, but then on the other hand we recently lost two of our mates.

Motorsport is very expensive. No one cares if you had a good season two years ago and then you have an injury. It is a very dodgy investment.

There are some things that you can fulfil with money, but at the end of the day these are not the things that make you happy. It is the small things that make life good.

There is no secret, once we go to qualifying, we all seem to enjoy it. Qualifying is all about putting everything that you have and that the car has in one lap. It’s like a rush, I really enjoy that.

It’s fantastic to be invited; I’m so happy. To represent Team Germany together with Michael Schumacher is a great honor.

I don’t care what other people think as long as I am happy.

Generally I don’t care about what people say. I have to be clear with myself.

As a driver, your target is always to be with the most competitive team possible.

You’re traveling all over the world but to be home is something special.

Of course, you always give 100 percent, but at a home race you’re always more motivated, simply because you feel at home.

I have always watched the Race of Champions on TV every year and dreamed about participating one day.

We have reason to feel good, but it’s also a threat to feel too good and I will pay attention that that doesn’t happen.

Starting at about, I guess, forever, I’ve always looked forward to getting older. When I was 14, I couldn’t wait to be 16 and get a driver’s license.

I’ve been very fortunate as a composer to be involved with projects that have really propelled my scores forward. I’m very proud of it.

I want to negotiate what I’m worth. I want to put my analytics forward, man-to-man, and to be like, ‘This is what I’m owed now. Pay me.’ And then we can talk.

If a guy hits .300 every year, what does he have to look forward to?

It is not “forgive and forget” as if nothing wrong had ever happened, but “forgive and go forward,

So you have to do a lot of things in order for things to move forward.

I look forward to the day when I can be Republican again. I’m an Alan Simpson Republican.

You don’t want to be doing it. But you have to. You have to keep moving forward.
