The people in the grandstand just want to see good driving, good overtaking. But inside the sport everything is about money and politics. It's stupid. And I'm not just talking about Formula One. It's every sport.

I am not really a problem personality.

I was always interested in maybe being in Formula E as I said many times when I was still racing in F1.

I'm very happy to be joining the Venturi Formula E Team and the Formula E championship, which has become a magnificent competition in such a short space of time.

I love watches, for sure. The watch I love the most is Richard Mille because it's part of something that started from zero.

Everything for us as a driver is related to our working, on your work and how you feel. It helps how you feel, how happy you are; also for your private life.

My dream is always to win the championship and I will keep fighting to achieve what I want.

I want to keep having fun like I have done all my life.

With all the traveling I'm doing, it's really important for me to be able to relax when I'm at home.

We are not here for political reasons, we are here for sport, to fight for positions. That's the good thing about Formula One.

Honestly, I think they need to work to improve the categories. If the driver goes from the go-kart to F3 one year and then to F1, why do we have GP3, GP2?

When you're not winning it's easy to complain!

I really believe that if you deserve something then one day you will get it.

I always respect my team and my competitors. I never had problems with anybody.

I'm not the kind of guy who will blame other people if things don't work out.

If I don't drive then I am not the same person. Ever since I was a small boy this is my life.

Everything in life has a meaning. If something bad happens it's because you need to learn, to grow.

What I'm really trying to do is make karting important like it is. I mean, karting is our sport, this should be really important.

I still wanted to race in Formula One, for a correct team, a nice team, one that is professional, where you would feel important. But there was no position for me to carry on, so I felt if that opportunity wasn't there, then it would be better for me to stop, and start thinking about doing different things.

I feel competitive all the time I'm in the car.

A team that can build a stronger car, a stronger working environment. A team that has the possibility to create something, that would be interesting.

Sometimes in the difficult moments in you life you learn more, you grow up more.

I enjoyed my first season with Sauber, for sure.

It's jewelry for men, so definitely it's very nice to have a good watch on your wrist.

I retired in Formula One and I think it was the right time, so I'm happy with my decision.

I have some old cars, but I have some modern cars as well. And I have some race cars, the cars that I race. I have some Ferraris.

If I don't get a race deal then I expect to be a test driver for a top team.

I already lived in Switzerland in 2002, and from this time I know that it's a very calm country. I really enjoy living there.

When I entered Formula One in 2002 basically all I had was my talent, but now I also have the technical knowledge which enables me, together with my engineers, to fully exploit the potential of the car.

On the one hand, I set my goals high, but on the other I do not underestimate our competitors either, who are using all their resources to challenge us. However, I also see what a fantastic job Sauber is doing and the progress we are constantly making.

I know I am lucky to be alive - but I will race again.

When I woke up I didn't know why I was in hospital so I was asking 'Why am I here?' I was pulling all the tubes and my brother Eduardo tried to stop me so we had a fight. The accident was just so unlucky, but I know I am lucky to be alive.

The worst feeling is when you don't have brakes, you cannot stop the car and you see that the wall is just coming in front of you. That's really a very scary moment.

These days it is not very easy to overtake in Formula One, the cars have great aerodynamic downforce. When you are behind a car, you lose downforce.

That's the only difference in Formula E from other championships - it's more unpredictable.

My goal is to be competitive, the best as I can give. My goal never changes in whole my career.

For sure people around me, they always say don't do ovals, we are not happy to see you doing that. I'm not saying I'm scared, I'm not scared to do ovals. But I never thought about it. I was not really planning to go to do Formula Indy.

The Italians - they cannot talk without shaking the hands. And I am like that, I'm from Brazil as well.

I'm a big supporter of safety.

I don't think really we need to race in F1 just to risk your life, or to be in danger is nice for the people. I don't think it's really like that.

Every day you are in the media for good or for bad and sometimes this is not helping the driver or the team to control the driver in the best way as well. But Ferrari is Ferrari and the biggest, most famous team in Formula One, so you have a lot more pressure there than at another team.

When I got to Ferrari I learnt to be less aggressive, and how to set up the car for my driving style.

If I had my accident maybe 10 years ago I wouldn't be here now. The technology we have now, the helmets, can save your life.

When you're at Ferrari, you know your team-mate will be strong.

Sometimes you don't see the result that you expect.

The time I say that I am a number two driver, I will not race any more.

I will do everything I can always for my country.

For me, my country is the most important thing.

I am not here really just to race. I am here to win. That's really my point.

Driving for Ferrari is completely different. Not in the way you work, the way of working is similar in whatever team you go - especially in the top teams. But it's different because it's like a religion.
