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.

After your time passes at Ferrari, you may drive for another team, but you're always a Ferrari driver.

We had many years with refueling in Formula 1 and we had a few problems, but not really very dangerous problems to be honest.

I have a passion for racing, for competing and for fighting on the track.

My return is not about seeing Formula One as the best option, but is about seeing the role at Williams as the best option. I would not have returned for any other team.

I have zero pressure, because I have nothing to lose.

My first year, I was really a kind of a wild guy. But I had a very difficult car to drive and I was very young. I think I was maybe too young to have started straight away.

If you know how to set up the car, if you know how to work with the team, you know what you need to have a comfortable car to drive.

People always put me completely out of the game, and that's even nicer because nobody expects you to do a good job and then you do a better job than everybody thinks and it's nicer.

Maybe I am the driver who got the most close to the championship in history.

I have zero frustration in my life and that's the way it is.

There's no better place to be on the podium than here at Monza.

I'd like to be remembered as an important component of the Ferrari team.

I am proud to be part of Ferrari's history.

It was always my dream to drive for Ferrari.

Making money is certainly the one addiction I cannot shake.

Nobody could like Donald Trump, surely, except his mother. No one really likes The Donald. But how can you not have respect for a guy who's been down on the floor and just keeps coming back? Nothing will keep Donald Trump down until they drive a wooden stake in his heart and a silver bullet in his brain.

You have to persuade yourself that you absolutely don't care what happens. If you don't care, you've won. I absolutely promise you, in every serious negotiation, the man or woman who doesn't care is going to win.

False praise is worse than no praise.

There is never a time in a company's history when cost control can be relegated to the back burner, but for a startup company, keeping costs low is a vital necessity.

I'm so suspicious of our own understanding of the past. I just think that your mind plays absolute tricks on you and fools you every minute of every day. And so when you're talking about the past, you're talking about something that never happened. At least it didn't happen the way you think it happened.

I've always noted with some awe the reading habits of the Australian public. Australians read more newspapers and magazines per head of population than almost any other country in the world.

You can collect all the plastic bottle caps you want as long as you give me the money so we can get off this death trap, find somewhere else and have tremendous fun screwing that up as well.

When you're writing, you're in a totally different zone... I can start a difficult poem and look up at the clock and see to my astonishment that three hours have passed.

As with the onset of sudden celebrity, for the newly rich, the world often becomes a darker, narrower, less generous place; a paradox that elicits scant sympathy, but is nonetheless true.

When I see something that's wrong, I just speak and act first and I'll take the consequences later.

'Great Expectations' has been described as 'Dickens's harshest indictment of society.' Which it is. After all, it's about money. About not having enough money; about the fever of the getting of money; about having too much money; about the taint of money.

America, ladies and gentlemen, has done more for me financially than Britain ever has, or ever could have done.

Money is power. Power is an aphrodisiac.
