I have so much respect for [Bernie Ecclestone] for what he did with this sport. He did so much more than people in tennis or football.

Bernie Ecclestone

It’s the best thing to happen to a sport, that you have a superstar. In football there is always something to write about the Beckhams, same as people want to write about Rooney or Hooney or whatever his bloody name is.

[When I’ll be old I see myself] as a world champion, on a big farm with an Italian-style, big family with a whole bunch of grandchildren. And the foundations for that I have already laid!
