Alain Prost

People don't understand that it was maybe my biggest pleasure to drive an F1 car when it's wet.

I remember in the first part of the race I was sixth and I could have gone quicker, but I had to go slow. It was one of the most difficult things I have ever done.

I don't like to go over curbs, because I don't want to be hard on the car.

That is an important part of my success. Another big part of my success is that I hated not to finish a race.

I like the mentality of the Americans. It's like when you talk about money.

Some Italians are geniuses, but you have to find a balance.

You can't always have the best team. It's always a compromise.

It's always better to speak the language of the team. Not only for the direct contact with everyone - sometimes it also helps you to understand the mentality of the people in the team a bit better.

When you win a race like this the feeling is very, very good.

In 1980 I finished three or four times in seventh place.

I have had some problems because the French don't like people to have success, they don't like the number one.

When I test I never go right to the limit. Only because when you are below the limit you can go at the same speed all day, and that's the only way you can be absolutely sure about what you are testing.

Sometimes I think I could have got some better results if I had a different mentality; if I could have pushed hard and attacked. But then I would have had a good chance of making a mistake.

I have always had this mentality because I hated to break anything on the car.

I always work the same way, starting from the beginning of the weekend, so I know at the beginning of the race, from all that I have analysed during the practice, whether I will win the race or not.

I think maybe the English don't want to try something and look stupid, because they are a bit reserved.

A German team could be quite good. But maybe they are a little bit too convinced that they are the best.

I was very interested in that. It is very important to have confidence as well as to build up experience.

Maybe I am not French, maybe I am from nowhere.

I'm brave to say that I won't take this sort of risk.
