"Winning is everything. The only ones who remember you when you come second are your wife and your dog."
"The sport would not survive today if drivers were being killed at the rate they were in the 1960s and '70s. It would have been taken off the air. It is beamed into people's living rooms on Sunday afternoons, with children watching."

"If I am pushed I will push back, that is the way I am. I am very British. We don't like to be pushed around. When the chips are down we might have to step into grey areas."
"You should never feel comfortable. There is something wrong if you are. You should always feel under threat, on the edge of your seat and pushing yourself. Win one and you want to win more. It's never-ending."
"The British tend to shy away from the spotlight. We don't like being singled out in any way, and I think that is something which is important for me to learn to do."
"After you've had Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna as team-mates you don't give a **** who the next bloke is"
"People ask me to describe myself, but it's a very personal thing. You don't feel comfortable."
