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.

Those who have come into Formula One without experiencing cars devoid of electronic aids will find it tough. To control 800 horse power relying just on arm muscles and foot sensitivity can turn out to be a dangerous exercise.

(Renault) feels less competitive here than elsewhere. We were very competitive except at one point when I think something was wrong with the car. I think we should be pretty good from now on. It's getting very close between the top teams.

They say Formula One is a market which it can't be, obviously. Our market is independent, it's a sport.

Formula one is very one-dimensional in terms of what we do in the cockpit.

Staging Formula One is incredibly expensive.
