When I do retire, I know for a fact that I'll never be able to replace the incredible feeling I get when I'm driving an F1 car.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't care what other people think as long as I am happy. The day I die or retire, I have blown all my chances because I don't have the chance any more to change my image as an F1 driver.
I am not close to retirement. I still have a lot more that I can achieve. There are younger guys coming into F1, but I am not old and I'm not finished.
I've decided to retire from top class racing. It has been an incredible experience and has provided with me some unforgettable moments.
I've had moments where I realize my body isn't going to withstand many more seasons, but I am very satisfied with my career and I am trying not to look at retirement as a sad thing.
Retirement's the most wonderful thing. I get to enjoy all the things I never stopped to notice on the way up. After an extraordinary life, it's time to enjoy my retirement.
From today I am no longer a racing driver. I'm retired and I am very happy.
When I retire or pass away, I will be able to look back and say that this has been an exciting life. That's all that matters.
The only time I think about life beyond F1 is when I contemplate becoming a dad. But there's no way that's going to happen while I'm still racing. To be successful in F1 you need to be very selfish in lots of ways and you're away from home for long periods. That's not the kind of father I want to be.
The day I retire is the day I'll feel old. I'm not there yet.
I quit driving, I'm not retired.
