I think, as a tire manufacturer, you need to deliver a product that, up to a certain specification, needs to hold the loads and the speed. But you want a tire which degrades in performance so the races are not boring, while at the same time, you want it to have peak performance. All together is a very difficult task.

Sometimes you are lucky, sometimes you're unlucky. It all weighs out at the end. That is my experience at least.

I live part of the time in Oxford, and I love it.

I'm open-minded.

In terms of the sport itself, I think we need to stop talking ourselves down.

We are all racers at heart, and what we want to see is out and out racing, and may the quickest man win.

By admitting a mistake, it is easier to get yourself out of a spiral.

We must be relentless and resilient.

Every team can have a shot at the title, and we're seeing all of them as a potential threat. There's absolutely no feeling of entitlement to be at the front.

I was much too late when I found out about my passion for motor racing. I was 18.

I'm getting to enjoy the mentality of the British, the sarcasm, the dry humour. There are so many more ways of articulating yourself than in German.

Don't mess with Sergio Marchionne.

A restructuring of an organisation is always a difficult time and delicate.

I was raised by my mother. My father died when I was 15. He was just 41.

Brexit is a major concern for us, and it should be a major concern for all of us who live in the U.K. and operate out of the U.K.

You need the right balance between data and gut feeling.

You cannot expect a driver who has just lost a shot at pole position to run around with a smile on his face. You need to accept that he is upset in a different way to how we are upset.

I'm always on the worrying side.

This is motor racing. We go at very high speeds, and tires have always been deflating or exploding. It is just part of the sport.

The downfall of any leader in a sport's team is when he gets carried away with his own ego.

The combination between the speed, personality, and being able to temper your emotions in both directions is a great ingredient.

We are pushing the limits on the chassis and the engine sides a lot in order to have a competitive car, and this is why we are winning races, but also, if you push the limits at a certain stage, you find them.

People enjoy watching sports at the weekend and watching motor racing and whatever sports, and Formula One is the number one global platform which is competing regularly - not like the Olympic Games or the World Cup - so the macro case was this is something that we should be part of because it's going to grow, and it does.

The way we are getting parts and services is just in time, at the last minute, into the U.K., and any major disruption in borders and taxes would massively damage the Formula One industry in the U.K.

Marchionne has a clear vision of what F1 should represent for Ferrari, which is a purist sport that isn't a shopping channel. I would strongly encourage the sport's stakeholders not to provoke him.
