In this sport luck and tragedy are only a few hundredths of seconds apart from each other.

My father was a motorsports journalist and a motorbike fan. He gave me my motocross bike.

That is why, as soon as I felt a real attraction for my first passion which was the motorcycle, and in spite of the danger it could represent, they encouraged me.

What fascinated me, it was not the glory, but the contact with the public.

In this kind of situation, we tend to cling to his convictions, we believe that, by magic, we are going to recover. Then we agree to drive less good cars and we are fatally more exposed. It is what finally happened to me with Ensign.

In this sport luck and tragedy are only a few hundredths of seconds apart from each other.

The fact that I am still alive after 100,000 laps is my championship.

I am infinitely grateful to the life which privileged me.

But due to the present regulations the other drivers have better chances again. This brings back the tension.

Nevertheless during these two seasons, Chapman impressed me a lot because he had the faculty to pull himself out of the most critical situations.

Fortunately, in the place where I went out, they had set up a little previously a fence which prevented me finally from smashing against trees. I went out with a broken leg only. A small price to be paid at the time for an accident of this kind.

In the past, two colleagues died each season. It was generally accepted this could happen.

I believe to have been one of the rare drivers to have returned to Ferrari.

The existence is a tremendous curiosity, with in the course of the years, the discovery of yourself in your inmost evolutions. With the age you feel better than you are, what you represent. Which means a little at the planet's scale.

Everything was magnificent so far, even if I knew my part of dramas.

The margin between success and drama is fractional.

I drove long distances like the 24 hours of Le Mans for years. But even this racing is now over. I retired.

Happy to see that the Automobile Club of Monaco, opened its doors to the public to attend a considerable event. The promotion of this event will be made by the image and by the text, but still by word of mouth.

And luckily therefore the good old days return. The traditional art of driving counts again and it is all about good tactics skills and reflexes instead of simple power.

Luck is everything... My good luck in life was to be a really frightened person. I'm fortunate to be a coward, to have a low threshold of fear, because a hero couldn't make a good suspense film.

I still have horrible luck with girls.

How is it the great pieces of good luck fall to us?

The greatest luck that I've had has been the ability to find men and women who came into my administration who worked with me and brought extraordinary talents that we were able to take full advantage of.

So, it takes a lot of chance and luck. I mean I was lucky enough to get in the program where people with the same skills never made it to the program. So keep trying.

Success is simply a matter of luck. Ask any failure.

I used to annoy my father by telling him how much I felt luck was with me.

Luck's always to blame.

I had the luck that my parents educated me in three languages. With my mother I spoke Dutch, with my father Italian, and in the school I learned German. But my host language is Italian.

It was depressing, very depressing. I worried about how I would make a living. I didn't want to stay on the farm. It didn't offer the challenge I wanted and yet, without a college education, I felt that I was really out of luck.

The meeting of preparation with opportunity generates the offspring we call luck.
