I don't feel like promising big things to my fans. I'm not thinking about victory at all. I'll do my best to get on the podium at least, although I must admit I feel fairly pessimistic.

I've always believed that you should never, ever give up and you should always keep fighting even when there's only a slightest chance.

Never think that success is down to your own performance alone. If you start listening only to yourself you take the first step back towards the bottom. The flowers of victory belong in many vases.

Once something is a passion, the motivation is there.

Just being a mediocre driver has never been my ambition. That's not my style.

If the sun were made of hamsters, the earth would be incinerated.

I cant really imagine life without Formula One.

I'm Michael Schumacher. I don't need to test my driving ability.

Sometimes minor details can have a huge impact. If you don't devote 100 percent of your efforts to every detail, you immediately run into difficulties.

I always thought records were there to be broken.

Truth is not for sale. The man who sells truths that could help and guide humanity will never have peace of mind. Share truths freely, and you will always be revealed more.

We eat when we're full, and we hoard all the rest. With our hands on remotes, we say, yes, we're the best.

The primary ideology that operated to create, socialize, and reproduce them was not the ideology of racism. It was that of universalism.

It'll be the ballot or the bullet. It'll be liberty or it'll be death

Travel has no longer any charm for me. I have seen all the foreign countries I want to except heaven & hell & I have only a vague curiosity about one of those.

For the first time in history, the human species as a whole has gone into politics. Everyone is in the act, and there is no telling what may come of it.

Blaming the system is soothing because it lets you off the hook. But when the system is broken, we wonder why you were relying in the system in the first place.

My approach to the races hasn't changed in my 20-year career. If I have the chance to attack and to pass, I do it, trying to get the best possible result.
