“Of course, health is the most important thing, but shutting down the entire economy for months is also not an option. Everyone should use their common sense.”

“My whole life is about racing, and of course everybody wants to do the same with your son. Being a father and doing motor racing with him goes hand in hand.”

“The biggest chance to overtake is in the first two laps of a race. Later on will always be more difficult.”

“We know motorsport is dangerous, but it does not make we want to stop, or make Max stop.”

“Being team-mate to Michael Schumacher at Benetton in my first year of Formula One was certainly a high pressure situation.”

“My favorite change is taking traction control away and launch control, because my starts are pretty good, I think, and I make always some places up in the start and I think that will be great if that comes back to the driver's hand.”

“A1 Ring is a circuit where no one can test, so all teams are in the same boat.”

“Suzuka is a nice circuit.”

“The Russian Vitaly Petrov I feel was the worst newcomer and the worst driver.”

“A race without journalists also has one advantage for Max: he does not have to give so many interviews.”

“As soon as it rains, I am very good, very, very competitive; when the track dries it is not so easy.”

“People are asking that question again if Max is being too tough on his equipment, but that's complete nonsense. He can't overdrive, he can't break the material. We all know what it is: it's just the equipment that isn't good enough.”

“I learned a lot from my career.”

“In F1 everything involves money, but there are other details to work on.”

“I have to be ready: I am focused, physically fit, ready to get in a car and go fast.”

“The most important thing is that at a certain moment you can drive.”

“I must say I always liked to come to Australia.”

“But, being away from Formula One for a whole year, I think it's not easy to come back into Formula One because people forget very quickly about you - it was really hard to go back.”

“Everyone wants to see racing. This is what F1 is for and this is what it is.”
