“I have one quote I very often read to myself, from a very good friend: ‘Forget the people around you now; remember the little boy who was racing in go-karts, what you were dreaming of and what he wanted to achieve one day and what was his goal. Race for him.”

2011
Belgium GP (12th Race): 1st place
“I’m very happy, today was a very good race for us … It couldn’t have been any better. The car felt fantastic and with each lap we learned more and more about the tyres, which made us more confident to push when necessary.”
WORLD
CHAMPION 2011
“To win a third title, especially here where one of my heroes – Ayrton Senna – was from, it’s difficult to put into words. I was crying in the car but my radio wasn’t working, so I’m maybe happy for that! Tomorrow I can probably say more, but now I just don’t have the right words.”
Malaysia gp
I love racing and that’s what I did.
2014
→ Abu Dhabi GP (19th Race): 8th Place (Yas Marina Circuit)
“I personally have very special memories of the Abu Dhabi circuit and race; it was here in 2010 that I became World Champion for the first time in my favourite F1 car, the RB6. That was a weekend I will never forget and this year the race will mark another big moment in my career; my last race with Infiniti Red Bull Racing. Of course it will be an emotional weekend as we have great memories together, but I’ll enjoy the weekend with the team and with a bit of luck maybe we’ll get a final podium.”
FERRARI
„Everybody is a Ferrari fan. Even if they say they’re not; they are a Ferrari fan.“

ASTON MARTIN
→ “I believe the team has huge potential, I think there’s some really good people on board, clever people, and I’m looking forward to help and show that those qualities are there and demonstrate that as well with the results.”
