“But like many of us, I grew up watching Michael win so many, many races and it never occurred to me to catch up. I think entering Formula 1 was the first step in this dream and, obviously, getting to Ayrton ”.
“But Michael was so far away… Not in my wildest dreams would I have thought he would go that far and I am so honored and grateful for the opportunity I had from Mercedes at the age of 13. I am proud to continue representing them. Hopefully there are some more records that we can break and that we can set. I hope they know that I was a good investment! “
“Of course, everyone knows that Michael is a legend and icon of the sport. I think he was a true pioneer in many areas, but in terms of pushing the limits from a particular physical point of view, he was the fittest rider at the time, and what he accomplished with both teams, especially Ferrari, is outstanding. “
“I think people have a hard time understanding how difficult it was for him to get these 91 wins, to achieve it week after week, year after year and to stay in good physical shape. I understand it now more than ever ”.
“All I can say is that it won’t be any easier. It’s a long and tough road from the first win to the 91st win. He’s surrounded by great riders who I enjoy racing with. And I hope it will be even more strict in the future. “

“Like everyone else here, I love what I do. I love the challenge. We have a very difficult job and I don’t think they respect enough the riders who prepared their lives and put so much work into everything. “
