I don't want to just be a good driver: I want to be a complete driver and hopefully the best driver in the world.
Every day, every year, every new season is a reset from the last, and you are still hungry for success, to do things better and better.
Ferrari gives you a special feeling.
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 like to race, not to do laps alone.
In life, it's winning - when I go to the supermarket, and I go with a friend, I try to get through the door first. Things like that - everything in life is a competition for me.
I am one of the best to have raced in F1. I am probably not fastest in qualifying, or the wet, but I am 9.5 in all areas. I try to benefit from that.
In Spain there were no TV rights for Formula One.
It is difficult to take in how long you have been doing one thing when you compete at the highest level and always with the highest intensity.
If you're in the best team in the world, you or your teammate have to win.
I always had that, even when I was a kid in a go-kart or when I was playing soccer or tennis: that need of winning. It was there all my life, and it's still there now.
I look at myself as someone who has been very lucky - my job is also what I enjoy most in the world, and I can make my life doing it.
For me, it was not destiny to make it to where I am now - I thought for a long- time I would become a go-kart mechanic, or a job like this, not an F1 driver.
I like America, and I think probably the American people like me.
I have always been very calm on the outside. I'm not too stressed now just because I'm in formula one. For me, tomorrow will be another day whether I finish first or last. I have to do the maximum and I cannot ask any more from myself.
For me it's a simple sport and a simple way to live these seven or eight years of maximum sport.
When I race in Australia or Korea or Japan I know it will be a big change for me because Ferrari fans are worldwide.
Creating a top team and being in a position to win the Tour de France will give me a nice feeling. But I know it is not easy to create a top team from zero. You need good riders, good staff, a lot of preparation and, most important, a lot of sponsors.
When I race in Australia or Korea or Japan, I know it will be a big change for me because Ferrari fans are worldwide. It's very nice if you win, but it's not so good if you lose. All this is part of being a Ferrari driver.
After five years in Ferrari, being second all the time, I think it was enough for me.
