A biography for Felipe Massahasn’t been written yet.
“When I got to Ferrari I learnt to be less aggressive, and how to set up the car for my driving style.”
“I talked to everyone. But I also did work with a professional psychologist, sporting psychologist. That was just the beginning. After that I was able to change the direction to think, the direction to work and I think it was like training I did.”
“Maybe I am the driver who got the most close to the championship in history.”
“I don't want to be the king, 'I don't need that, I want to race even without the helmet, I am the king.' I am not like that. I just want to make things better for the drivers and for the safety.”
“There are a lot of good cars, good teams and good drivers.”
“We had many years with refueling in Formula 1 and we had a few problems, but not really very dangerous problems to be honest.”
“These days it is not very easy to overtake in Formula One, the cars have great aerodynamic downforce. When you are behind a car, you lose downforce.”
“The people in the grandstand just want to see good driving, good overtaking. But inside the sport everything is about money and politics. It's stupid. And I'm not just talking about Formula One. It's every sport.”
“That is something you can never explain, it is part of all sporting life. Anybody can have a bad day and they can have many good days.”
“I am happy to start from zero, to create, to restart.”
“I have zero pressure, because I have nothing to lose.”
“Sauber had a bad championship the year after they fired me and so if I had stayed it would have not been so good. Sometimes life does these things to you because it's the right thing. You think it's wrong, 'initially, but life proves different.”
“I am not really a problem personality.”
“I want to find a team that can give me a competitive car to win many more races and challenge for the championship.”
“I will do everything I can always for my country.”
“We are not here for political reasons, we are here for sport, to fight for positions. That's the good thing about Formula One.”
“When I entered Formula One in 2002 basically all I had was my talent, but now I also have the technical knowledge which enables me, together with my engineers, to fully exploit the potential of the car.”
“It's jewelry for men, so definitely it's very nice to have a good watch on your wrist.”
“I retired in Formula One and I think it was the right time, so I'm happy with my decision.”
“I really believe that if you deserve something then one day you will get it.”
