“Simply racing a Formula 1 car is an achievement.”

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.

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.

Usually action films have a formula: good guy gets in trouble, his wife dies, friends have problems, so he goes to the mountain, learns martial arts, comes back, and kills the bad guy.

There is no formula to relationships. They have to be negotiated in loving ways, with room for both parties, what they want and what they need, what they can do and what their life is like.

A vital part of the happiness formula is self-discipline. Whoever conquers himself knows deep happiness that fills the heart with joy.

True alchemy lies in this formula: ‘Your memory and your senses are but the nourishment of your creative impulse’.

There is one guaranteed formula for failure, and that is to try to please everyone.

Eating out doesn’t have to be a formula. Eating out is about having fun. I get really frustrated when it’s badly done.

Beware of geeks bearing formulas.

The most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people.
