“I didn’t know Dan Wheldon, but he was big in motorsport, and then this year I got to know Marco Simoncelli, so our thoughts are with them at the moment.”

I put everything in that last lap, it was very emotional when I crossed the line. It was all I had, I gave it all.

Driving at high speed where safe and legal is part of my life. As well as a higher top speed I wanted even better stability in my FX and that meant work on the

Sometimes you need to press pause to let everything sink in.

The track in Abu Dhabi is special; this will be our third Grand Prix there.

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.

I got a dog with a Napoleon complex. I have a Napoleon complex. We’re small. Anything big that we feel is threatening us, we want to fight. We’re not a pushover.

The key to winning is choosing to do God’s will and loving others with all you’ve got.

I know how to make it a great musical. I’ve got to. It’s like I’ve got to see it on stage.

I also had to collect thirty cents a week from each customer. I owed the paper twenty cents per customer per week, and got to keep the rest.

If you’re quiet, you’re not living. You’ve got to be noisy and colorful and lively.

To win a national championship, you’ve got to be a little lucky.

I got players with bad watches – they can’t tell midnight from noon.

High School Musical is what got me here today and I’m very grateful – but the fame part isn’t so fun.
