Jacques: Do that again and I'll put you in that f***ing tree!

Answer 3

Some personal favourites;

"On a given day, or a given circumstance you think you have a limit and you then go for and touch this limit. And you say OK this is the limit. But as soon as you touch this limit, something happens and suddenly you can go a little further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct and the experience as well you can fly very high!"  - Senna

"Racing... competing... its in my blood, its part of me and a big part of my life and who I am" - Senna

"He thinks because he believes in God he can not die in the car, that he is invinsible" - Prost (1989)

"We always fight, always compete and never give up and see where we end up" - Michael Schumacher after overturning Raikkonen's championship lead in 2003.

".. and there was this guy overtaking me around the outside of all places, the car dancing on the wet track, doing things with the car I hadn't even thought of doing let alone had the ability to do. And from that moment I knew my days as a Formula one driver were effectively over" John Watson on Ayrton Senna (1984/5)
