“Se suele decir que los pilotos son egoístas, ególatras. Yo mismo he dicho que son egoístas. Me equivoqué. Para ser campeón no debes tener ego alguno. No debes existir como entidad independiente. Debes entregarte a la carrera. No serías nada sin tu equipo, tu coche, tu calzado, tus neumáticos. No hay que confundir confianza y conciencia de uno mismo con egoísmo.”
