I think if you don't touch the wall in Monaco, you're not on the limit.
I feel that I'm in good company behind the wheel of the Williams FW08C. It was the first F1 car to be driven by the great Ayrton Senna, and it won the 1983 Monaco Grand Prix.
Winning in Monaco is always special. That track has always been good to me. I won there in Formula 3000, battled for the victory with Williams in 2006 and now I've won two of the last three grands prix there.
Ayrton Senna was an incredible legend who will be remembered and admired forever.
Ayrton Senna is the Pele of F1 for me. He is the number one for us Brazilians so he left a huge impact on me.
Ayrton Senna was my favorite driver who I wanted to be like.
The Monaco Grand Prix is in May right around the time of Cannes.
Preparation for Monaco is a little different: you definitely build up a little bit slower throughout the weekend and pace yourself. It's important to find the limit carefully.
When I think about it, it is quite crazy to race against people like Fernando Alonso, when I remember watching him from the balcony in Monaco.
It was my 44th win [in Monaco]; 44 is my race number; and it's been my number since I was 8. And it's my family's number as well. So it was a special day, for sure.
Monaco was my first race of the season and I spoke with a number of people and all seemed to be very optimistic.
People might not know, but F1 drivers have new helmets made throughout the season. Usually, the design is the same, but I like to do something special for Monaco.
I always enjoy street circuits, especially Monaco, and I've always gone well there.
There are seven winners of the Monaco Grand Prix on the starting line today, and four of them are Michael Schumacher.
You know, the Monaco Grand Prix is the grandfather of all street races.
As long as you win Monaco, that's the one. In my ten years of Formula One, I've only won here once. This is my second time.Every year, it feels like this is your Achilles heel. You almost have it and then you don't. It's such a hard race to win.
When I think about greatness I just know Ayrton Senna. He was great.
It's very, very special for me. This is where I've grown up, it's my home, and winning the Monaco Grand Prix is the highlight of any racing driver's career and for me a childhood dream. It being my home makes it all the more special, unbelievable.
