I Don't Like To Go Over Curbs,

When You Win A Race Like This The Feeling Is Very, Very Good. There Have Been Times When I Have Been Flat-out To Finish Sixth, But You Can't See That From The Outside. In 1980 I Finished Three Or Four Times In Seventh Place. I Pushed Like Mad, Yet Everyone Was Gathered Around The Winner And They Were Thinking That I Was Just Trundling Around. But That's Motor Racing. So In Fact The Only Thing You Can Judge In This Sport Is The Long Term. You Can Judge A Career Or A Season, But Not One Race.

When I Drove For British Teams... They Called Me The Tadpole Because I Was Too Small To Be A Frog.

I Always Work The Same Way, Starting From The Beginning Of The Weekend, So I Know At The Beginning Of The Race, From All That I Have Analysed During The Practice, Whether I Will Win The Race Or Not.

Maybe I Am Not French, Maybe I Am From Nowhere.

I Think Maybe The English Don't Want To Try Something And Look Stupid, Because They Are A Bit Reserved.
