My approach to the races hasn’t changed in my 20-year career. If I have the chance to attack and to pass, I do it, trying to get the best possible result.

Our sport is dangerous. We risk the life out there, so we need to stay calm and focused and leave all the rest out.

The speed is something dangerous but very exciting.

Barcelona is a special track. I have always loved the layout of the circuit, but also the atmosphere and the fans are special. It has always been good fun.

Friendship is very important to me. With some friends, we’ve known each other since we were kids and it’s a very strong relationship. They always tell me what they think even when I am wrong. It’s great to share with them the best moments.
