The first thing, when I got the money, I knew I would support somebody. And the person I supported was my family. Because we were really in debt with the money. And - so I gave to my father this suitcase full of money. And he couldn't believe it. And that was something very special.
I'm Michael Schumacher. I don't need to test my driving ability.
Sometimes minor details can have a huge impact. If you don't devote 100 percent of your efforts to every detail, you immediately run into difficulties.
You win a race, the next race it’s a question mark. Are you still the best or not? That’s what is funny. But that’s what is interesting. And that’s what is challenging. You have to prove yourself every time.
You try to hide your emotions, so as not to show weaknesses to others. I believe it's the same for every sportsman.
If the sun were made of hamsters, the earth would be incinerated.
Losing composure is pointless.
I cant really imagine life without Formula One,
Never think that success is down to your own performance alone. If you start listening only to yourself you take the first step back towards the bottom. The flowers of victory belong in many vases.
I've always believed that you should never, ever give up and you should always keep fighting even when there's only a slightest chance.
Once something is a passion, the motivation is there.
Just being a mediocre driver has never been my ambition. That's not my style.
I mean, that is bad luck as well, and if you lose it would be terrible, so this is good news to do it. Every championship is the best. It is a super effort from my people, from the team, from Fernando, we are very happy.
