Felipe Massa

“I think what makes things interesting in Formula E, and I really hope it happens with me, is that many drivers are able to win the race. Maybe many drivers can win the championship.”

“My goal is to be competitive, the best as I can give. My goal never changes in whole my career.”

“When I woke up I didn't know why I was in hospital so I was asking 'Why am I here?' I was pulling all the tubes and my brother Eduardo tried to stop me so we had a fight. The accident was just so unlucky, but I know I am lucky to be alive.”

“I was sure after the accident when in hospital in Hungary that I was not in the position not to lose any races.”

“My first year, I was really a kind of a wild guy. But I had a very difficult car to drive and I was very young. I think I was maybe too young to have started straight away.”

“I'm not the kind of guy who will blame other people if things don't work out.”

“My mother never watches the start of my races - because she fears for me.”

“Sometimes in the difficult moments in you life you learn more, you grow up more.”

“The time I say that I am a number two driver, I will not race any more.”

“If I don't get a race deal then I expect to be a test driver for a top team.”

“A lot of things happen in a difficult way inside Ferrari in terms of pressure.”

“I love watches, for sure. The watch I love the most is Richard Mille because it's part of something that started from zero.”

“The worst feeling is when you don't have brakes, you cannot stop the car and you see that the wall is just coming in front of you. That's really a very scary moment.”

“Driving for Ferrari is completely different. Not in the way you work, the way of working is similar in whatever team you go - especially in the top teams. But it's different because it's like a religion.”

“I feel competitive all the time I'm in the car.”

“I'm very happy to be joining the Venturi Formula E Team and the Formula E championship, which has become a magnificent competition in such a short space of time.”

“When the media began reporting that I might return, I was touched by the response from so many fans who wanted to see me back in the sport. That was certainly a factor in the decision, so I'd like to thank the fans for their support. But, at the end of the day, when I received the call it was an offer I couldn't refuse. It was Williams!”

“What I'm really trying to do is make karting important like it is. I mean, karting is our sport, this should be really important.”

“For sure people around me, they always say don't do ovals, we are not happy to see you doing that. I'm not saying I'm scared, I'm not scared to do ovals. But I never thought about it. I was not really planning to go to do Formula Indy.”

“When you're at Ferrari, you know your team-mate will be strong.”
