The real problem is that it (F1) is in a permanent state of conflict,
You were not in control You had no visibility: maybe there was a car in front of you, maybe not.
It's like when people talk about driving F1 cars in the rain. I have absolutely no problem with it.
I was looking at the history of the sport and I couldn't understand why there have been so many good South American drivers, especially Brazilians.
It's not too good to have this attitude in F1. It could be a disadvantage.
A German team could be quite good. But maybe they are a little bit too convinced that they are the best.
Some Italians are geniuses, but you have to find a balance.
I'm brave to say that I won't take this sort of risk.
So in fact the only thing you can judge in this sport its the longterm. You can judge a career or a season, but not one race.
That is an important part of my success. Another big part of my success is that I hated not to finish a race.
I like the mentality of the Americans. It's like when you talk about money.
One of my biggest problems this season was with the clutch at the start of the race. I hate to risk the car.
