But I could also start F1 or rallying. I love rallying much more.
Valentino Rossi

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.
Fernando Alonso

I am not close to retirement. I still have a lot more that I can achieve. There are younger guys coming into F1, but I am not old and I'm not finished.
Jean Alesi

I don't care what other people think as long as I am happy. The day I die or retire, I have blown all my chances because I don't have the chance any more to change my image as an F1 driver.
Sebastian Vettel

I remember my first test in F1. After five laps, I came back to the pits and tried to play it cool - 'Oh yeah, I'm fine, I'm on top of this' - but I was completely lost.
Sebastian Vettel

IF is a very long word in Formula One; in fact, IF is F1 spelled backwards.
Murray Walker

In F1 too many things overshadow the racing. There is too much politics.
Kimi Raikkonen

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

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

My time in the World Rally Championship has been a useful stage in my career, but I can't deny the fact that my hunger for F1 has recently become overwhelming.
Kimi Raikkonen

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

The Lotus is a couple of years newer than the Williams was, and as the pace of development in F1 cars is so quick, I expect it to be another completely different experience, but still one that I know I'm going to enjoy.
Nelson Piquet

There are a lot of factors in the life of an F1 driver which can combine to make you believe that you are somehow above normality. I think that is a mistake to start believing that. But, at the same time, it is important to be confident.
Damon Hill

Through F1, I bought my own boat. I learned to fly my own plane and helicopter. And my job with my company is a reflection of everything motor racing taught me.
Nelson Piquet

You never really know how quick you are before you reach F1.
Jean Alesi

You tend to think that there is a big gap between F1 and everything else. F1 is where all the fantastic drivers are, so you just don't know how good you are until you get there.
Jean Alesi
