This is a fantastic feeling, ... I didn't think anything could equal winning the Drivers' Championship, but seeing our people celebrating, it's just as good! I am really so happy today.

I like America, and I think probably the American people like me.

I am very proud of what we have built in Spain, because it is not a traditional Formula 1 country. I think we have found passionate fans, and built up a strong culture for the sport - and things are improving every day, with more and more people getting interested.

I was winning the fight with one eye. If I was him and I would've seen me, I would've gone for broke. But he didn't because he felt the wrath of what I carry in my right and left hands. A very few minor adjustments and I will knock him out this time. He knows I was winning. The world knows I was winning. I was winning with one eye.

At the end the team informed me about the tire problem that Juan Pablo had, ... and I pushed a bit more and we turned the engine up again and tried to put some pressure, but it was too late.

After five years in Ferrari, being second all the time, I think it was enough for me.
