It's always better to speak the language of the team. Not only for the direct contact with everyone - sometimes it also helps you to understand the mentality of the people in the team a bit better.

A German team could be quite good. But maybe they are a little bit too convinced that they are the best.

I always work the same way, starting from the beginning of the weekend, so I know at the beginning of the race, from all that I have analysed during the practice, whether I will win the race or not.

In 1980 I finished three or four times in seventh place.

Some Italians are geniuses, but you have to find a balance.

I remember in the first part of the race I was sixth and I could have gone quicker, but I had to go slow. It was one of the most difficult things I have ever done.

That is an important part of my success. Another big part of my success is that I hated not to finish a race.

When I test I never go right to the limit. Only because when you are below the limit you can go at the same speed all day, and that's the only way you can be absolutely sure about what you are testing.

Without going to what I think is my limit. I always say that my ideal is to get pole with the minimum effort, and to win the race at the slowest speed possible.

I don't like to go over curbs, because I don't want to be hard on the car.

I was very interested in that. It is very important to have confidence as well as to build up experience.

It's like when people talk about driving F1 cars in the rain. I have absolutely no problem with it.

Maybe I am not French, maybe I am from nowhere.

It's not too good to have this attitude in F1. It could be a disadvantage.

The people who criticise you will not be the ones taking care of your legs when you are in your wheelchair. People who never drove a car in these conditions, they just don't know.

You were not in control You had no visibility: maybe there was a car in front of you, maybe not.

I like the mentality of the Americans. It's like when you talk about money.

People don't understand that it was maybe my biggest pleasure to drive an F1 car when it's wet.

You want to have fun but you also want to work well. Sometimes I was quite happy at Ferrari, because we would have fun, but then they could not stop having fun and go back to the real work.

Sometimes I think I could have got some better results if I had a different mentality; if I could have pushed hard and attacked. But then I would have had a good chance of making a mistake.

One of my biggest problems this season was with the clutch at the start of the race. I hate to risk the car.

You can't always have the best team. It's always a compromise.

I have always had this mentality because I hated to break anything on the car.

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.

It's always better to speak the language of the team. Not only for the direct contact with everyone - sometimes it also helps you to understand the mentality of the people in the team a bit better.

When you win a race like this the feeling is very, very good.

I'm brave to say that I won't take this sort of risk.

I think maybe the English don't want to try something and look stupid, because they are a bit reserved.

I have no problem with the people who work hard to get success. But I think people are very jealous about success. I work very hard and they don't appreciate that.

I have had some problems because the French don't like people to have success, they don't like the number one.

You want to have fun but you also want to work well. Sometimes I was quite happy at Ferrari because we would have fun but then they could Anot stop having fun and go back to the real work.

Still, language is resilient, and poetry when it is pressured simply goes underground.

I have my own language and it's high time I put a little of it out there.

Well, with the French language, which I understood and spoke, however imperfectly, and read in great quantities, at certain times, the matter I suppose was slightly different from either Latin or Greek.

I belong to a specific category of writers, those who speak and write in a language different from that of their parents.

Poetry is a matter of life, not just a matter of language.

Our purpose is simply to ask how theological principles can be shown to have usable secular analogues that throw light upon the nature of language.

Countries under foreign command quickly forget their history, their past, their tradition, their national symbols, their way of living, often their own literary language.

French is a language that makes those who speak it both calm and dynamic.

I have eighteen titles in the German language. I had a number one song in 1965.

That's so different in Hong Kong when I'm using my own mother language, I can treat the line in one thousand different ways, with many different reactions.

The Internet is not just one thing, it's a collection of things - of numerous communications networks that all speak the same digital language.

Of all of our inventions for mass communication, pictures still speak the most universally understood language.

If I were assigned poems I suppose I'd write more of them but it is entirely voluntary and for the most part ignored in the market sense of the word so the language to me is most intimate, most important, most sublime and most satisfying when it gets done.

Music is the soul of language.

I think the cinema you like has more to do with silence, and the theater you like has more to do with language.

For me concrete poetry was a particular way of using language which came out of a particular feeling, and I don't have control over whether this feeling is in me or not.

I think I am too interested in my own ideas to copy anyone else's, but I find that other people's imagery, the flow of language in the outside world, games with words, and ideas about relationships are all most important to me.

I don't see it in terms of changing things, but rather using language and music as weapons for fighting a mainstream media which is predominately right wing, and loyal to the political framework and its corporate interests.
