Zitat des Tages von Michael Schumacher:
My kids are not known, and I think that is very important. So far they have lived a normal life, and will continue to do so. I feel they should have the possibility to live a free life without the burden of fame I have created.
Let's put it this way, I like number seven.
In sport there is never any moment that is the same as the other. I have been in Formula One for 12 years, and out of that I had one year with the perfect car.
If you look right from the beginning of the season I've been very competitive.
The first thing, when I got the money, I knew I would support somebody. And the person I supported was my family. Because we were really in debt with the money. And - so I gave to my father this suitcase full of money. And he couldn't believe it. And that was something very special.
I know what I am, and what I have to do in my profession, so I can handle the pressure. It's the way I think.
Once something is a passion, the motivation is there.
Somehow I have managed to delay looking old. In reality I have good genes.
People get excited around me and behave differently than they would normally. I don't feel different from anyone else, except that I drive a racing car round in circles faster than somebody else.
I have what you might call the South Pole and the North Pole. I have my team and my work, which I do on one side, and I have my family and my home on the other side. Both have nothing really to do with each other.
I like to share my life, and spend time with someone I love. That has worked 100 per cent with my wife.
I hate to take compromises with a racing car. The more standard a car is, the more compromises you have to take.
I like working in a team, and at Ferrari there is always good cooperation.
I will do everything I can to bring the Number One to Ferrari. The whole team and all the fans deserve it.
I have been in Formula One for 12 years, and out of that I had one year with the perfect car.
Those who have come into Formula One without experiencing cars devoid of electronic aids will find it tough. To control 800 horse power relying just on arm muscles and foot sensitivity can turn out to be a dangerous exercise.
When you start out in a team, you have to get the teamwork going and then you get something back.
Your ups and downs in sports, I think they are as normal as daily life: One day you wake up and feel great, the next day you wake up and feel maybe less great.
I think I was five when I had my real first go-kart.
If you do things to the limit, and don't purposely go over that limit, then I think it's fine to do whatever you want. So long as you enjoy it. That's what's important.
You win a race, the next race it's a question mark. Are you still the best or not? That's what is funny. But that's what is interesting. And that's what is challenging. You have to prove yourself every time.
