When I raced with Mercedes, I thought I'd learn German. But my wife didn't want to live in Germany.

You need great passion, because everything you do with great pleasure, you do well.

I learned to approach racing like a game of billiards. If you bash the ball too hard, you get nowhere. As you handle the cue properly, you drive with more finesse.

The driver of a racing car is a component. When I first began, I used to grip the steering wheel firmly, and I changed gear so hard that I damaged my hand.

Germany is the power engine of Europe. Without a dynamic Germany, Europe cannot recover.
