Winning the championship is more than 50% driver. It's probably 60% driver, 40% car. I don't really know where luck fits in there - over the course of a season, everybody catches their breaks.

I look at my trophies and can't believe they're mine.

I'm not a huge fan of North Carolina barbecue. I like Memphis style barbecue and Kansas City.

My favorite thing to do... is to get my big trailer grill and smoke some meat and sit around with my buddies all day for 12 hours cooking that and then eat at the end of the day.

Some people ain't approachable, and some people are.

As a race car driver, you kind of get stereotyped into, 'Man, you like country' - or you got to say you like country. I do like a lot of country. But I'm all over the board.

I was in therapy as a child and definitely think that therapy is a very useful tool.

I'm sure it's the same whether you lost your parent at 25 or 45. When they die, the responsibility to do right by them and honor them becomes more important to you, because they're not here to tell you, 'Hey man, don't be doing that,' or, 'Yeah, you're making me proud, or you're not.'

I like to sit around the pool, listen to music, barbecue, grill, stuff like that. Just the guy next door, I guess.

I'm not very patient.

You know, Theresa May, she's doing the best she can with not a great hand, a little bit like Chase Carey really.

Race drivers are fiercely competitive animals, and there is often a conflict between what is right for the team and what is right for the individual.

When you're at the top you're always going to be shot at.

And I'd get back to the cars being physical challenges to drive - to tame the beast. The cars we have at the moment are fantastic bits of engineering, but it's a little too comfortable, a little too easy. I think I'd go back to making the driver a bigger variable.

For Infiniti, the global coverage that Formula One provides is second only to the Olympics.

Formula One is one of the biggest and most competitive sports in the world and our desire is to get back to be giving Mercedes a hard time and winning races and championships.

Red Bull doesn't get the credit it deserves. Neither Buemi nor Alguersuari would have progressed through the junior ranks - let's not forget Alguersuari won the British Formula Three championship - without the support.

Obviously a decision was made to elevate both Jean-Eric Vergne and Daniel Ricciardo, who are two of the most exciting talents on the periphery of Formula 1, into race seats at Toro Rosso.

Red Bull has invested a huge amount in youth and should be commended.

We want to be a works partner. Ferrari and Mercedes have their own works teams so where would you be in the pecking order if you're a customer?

We want to run at the front, we want to be competitive and, in order to be competitive, we have to have a sensible power unit.

There are no ultimatums for Renault other than we want to improve as quickly as we can.

Sport can change so quickly where confidence is such a big factor.

Nobody wants to lose Ferrari. And I don't think Ferrari can afford to lose Formula One.
