Alonso could have attacked Montoya at the end, but he could have also lost everything. We haven't won anything yet. |
He has demonstrated that he is a talented, aggressive driver in the GP2 series, and he has impressed our engineers during his tests with the team. The test driver's role will be crucial during 2006 as we develop our V8 engine through the season to defend the World Championship. |
He is incredibly cool. Not emotional, no mistakes, always thinking. I always believed the brain is important in any business, including driving the car. |
I believe we are quite close to a commercial deal, to finalize it with Bernie. We are basically agreed. Something will happen maybe this week or next week, but on the commercial part I believe we are very much in agreement. |
I don't know what happened, the emotion. Like Fernando said before, he was thinking about what happened in 2005. I was thinking about what happened in my 15 years of Formula One. I think I needed some privacy, |
I don't think Michael Schumacher forgets how to drive a formula one car. It is just Ferrari having a bad year. Michael does the best possible job with a limited car. But I think Fernando can be as great even if Michael already has seven championships - a crazy number. Fernando has the potential to do that because he is made to be a champion. He is also much calmer than Schumacher. Forget what you see in public - where Alonso is smiling and Schumacher is concentrated. I know them both very well and I promise you Fernando has the ice in his blood - more than Michael, who is boiling inside with feeling. |
I have heard what the French journalists have said and they need a new job. It is false information that they have disseminated everywhere. Renault want to stay in F1 but only under certain conditions, like the other major manufacturers Mercedes-Benz, Honda, BMW and Toyota. They all want to see the same conditions. |
I have read in the French press that Renault is going to leave Formula One. These journalists need new jobs - they had false information which they disseminated everywhere. Renault want to stay in Formula One under certain conditions which is the same as Mercedes, BMW, Honda and Toyota. Five us want certain conditions. |
I pay enough. The driver moves around but the team stays. What you need is a solid, efficient team. This attracts a good driver. |
I think so. The techniques of management are the same whether you run a clothing company or a football club. Management is the way you produce your product - your efficiency, your creativity, and the people you choose to make the dream come true. Now I stick to what I love for the moment - formula one. When I no longer have that love maybe I try football again. |
I was at no time directly or indirectly involved in the conduct of these negotiations. |
I was looking at the No. 1. That's the only thing I was looking at. |
I was obviously a bit annoyed at this. |
It will be difficult for Raikkonen to catch him. |
It would be great to have Valentino in F1, but he wouldn't have even a minimal chance of winning, |
