First, You Have To Finish.

People Get Excited Around Me And Behave Differently Than They Would Normally. I Don't Feel Different From Anyone Else, Except That I Drive A Racing Car Round In Circles Faster Than Somebody Else.

I Think I Was Five When I Had My Real First Go-kart.

Mika Hakkinen Was The Best Opponent (i've Had) In Terms Of His Quality, But The Biggest Admiration I Had For Him Was We Had 100% Fight On Track But A Totally Disciplined Life Off Track. We Respected Each Other Highly And Let Each Other Live Quietly.

I Retired Simply Because I Didn't Have The Passion And Motivation Anymore, I Was Tired. At The Time I Thought, 'well, I Had A Great Time, There Is The End.' At Some Moment There Is The Right Time To Call It An End.

In Sport There Is Never Any Moment That Is The Same As The Other. I Have Been In Formula One For 12 Years, And Out Of That I Had One Year With The Perfect Car.
