“For me it's a simple sport and a simple way to live these seven or eig...” — Fernando Alonso Quote

“For me it's a simple sport and a simple way to live these seven or eight years of maximum sport.”

“It is true - maybe with five or seven points more, I could be five times world champion. But on the other hand, I could have zero world championships, and zero wins or zero podiums, because F1 is an extremely competitive environment. So I just take the positives, and I am happy with my achievements.”

“You can play basketball and have a magic night and score 40 points with your team-mates and win the game. There are favourites for the World Cup, but you can't guarantee Germany, Spain, or Brazil will win, but here, everyone can guarantee that Mercedes or Ferrari will win the race, and this is very sad for the sport.”

“For every two minutes of glamour, there are eight hours of hard work.”

“It's funny that I'm so popular with seven-, eight-, nine-year-olds.”

“I started playing the trumpet when I was about eight.”
