It's correct that I'm a bad loser. Why should I lie? If I was good at losing I wouldn't be in Formula 1. I think it's more honest to act how you really feel than pretending to be the smiling boy who actually isn't in the mood to smile. Show less «

What I admire is people who are grounded and resistant to all kinds of whisperers. Kimi Raikkonen, for example. You may like him or not, but he lives his way. He does the things he has identified as worthy for him and he is not trying to be everybody's darling. At least he doesn't give that impression. He is straightforward and honest and he tells you if he has a bad day. Period. He is real. He's not political. He's never up to something. If he doesn't want to tell you something he will say so and not hum and haw. He doesn't beat around the bush, never coming to the point. Show less «

When you walk the track and you see a corner and realize you were going round it at 160mph, you wonder who could be so stupid to take a corner at that speed. But in the car, you don't even think about that. Show less «

Qualifying is all about putting everything that you have and that the car has in one lap. It's like a rush, I really enjoy that. Show less «

Like a ship, a car should be named after a girl as it's sexy. My original car was called Kate. But then it got smashed at the opening race in Australia. So we called this one Kate's Dirty Sister because it is more aggressive and faster. Show less «

If the boat started shaking, we stayed on course and didn't lose focus. That made the difference.

I don't care what other people think as long as I am happy. 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. Show less «

I have one quote I very often read to myself, from a very good friend: 'Forget the people around you now; remember the little boy who was racing in go-karts, what you were dreaming of and what he wanted to achieve one day and what was his goal. Race for him.'. I fell in love with the sport, I love racing. The amount of satisfaction I get just going around in a Formula 1 car makes me smile. So if it is a bad day then you tend to come out and say it's horrible and you don't enjoy. But if you had to pick between that and doing nothing, you would always pick that. Show less «

At the end of your life, it's friendships, emotions and thoughts that you take with you, rather than what's in your bank account. So, even though people don't have a lot here, they are a lot richer in many ways and we can learn from that. Show less «

It's very shocking for me to see pictures from my win here in 2008. I aged.

There is no reason not to be motivated. You cannot always be the best. But you can do your best.

You can't change what happened. But you can still change what will happen.
