Experience has taught me that you have to improve all the time-little bit by little bit-and not keeping starting everything from new.

Eddie Jordan found me all the drives. If I am with Tyrrell today, it is because Eddie was there.

I will be better in Monte Carlo than I was in Phoenix. If I can’t win maybe I will lead 50 laps.

I am a professional. At the circuit I am calm. At home I am very different.

I made my choice to be in Ferrari. It is not easy because it is important for a man to have satisfaction. And for me to get the satisfaction I want means getting results.

It’s my job, but I think it is too much.

F1 teams need a driver who will consistently set lap times that are 100 percent on the edge.

When you drive a car, either you manage it and feel it with the grip of the car, or, like me, you fix it on visual speed. If you do it through the grip, you...

I am not close to retirement. I still have a lot more that I can achieve. There are younger guys coming into F1, but I am not old and I’m not finished.

It wasn’t all frustration. I’ve had a lot of good times with Ferrari as well.

I lived in England to learn English. When I went to England for the first time, it was like being on the Moon. I had no friends, I couldn’t speak the language. I was very...

I decided to do the maximum to hold onto the lead for as long as possible. That is why I pushed so hard from the beginning. I was at 100 percent concentration.

You never really know how quick you are before you reach F1.

I must use Ferrari to the maximum. My priority is to get results. Then we will see what happens.

My contract is just for this year, but I have an option for next year. It is not signed at this moment, but I am only concentrating on this year. I don’t know exactly what...

You tend to think that there is a big gap between F1 and everything else. F1 is where all the fantastic drivers are, so you just don’t know how good you are until you get...

I think I will have a lot of opportunities in the future.

That was my dream, to drive for Ferrari, but I am not a kid any more. If Ferrari is the best team and if I get the chance to drive for Ferrari, it would be...

I was quite excited, but I was sure I wouldn’t win the race. I am a realist.

Am I calm all the time? That is a question to ask my mother. I am very happy in my home. I have a good family, that gives me something extra.

To be honest, I am not happy about all the publicity.

I have never won a race, and that is my main disappointment – but you have to be positive.

When I go back to France now I spend all the my time with press and sponsors. I do not have a lot of time to spend at home with my family.

Although it’s only the beginning of the championship, I am very surprised at my capability.

When you are in a good position you are sure to drive well and to be very concentrated in each corner.
