Quotes by Fernando Alonso

• For me it's a simple sport and a simple way to live these seven or eight years of maximum sport.
• For me, it was not destiny to make it to where I am now - I thought for a long- time I would become a go-kart mechanic, or a job like this, not an F1 driver.
• I have always been very calm on the outside. I'm not too stressed now just because I'm in formula one. For me, tomorrow will be another day whether I finish first or last. I have to do the maximum and I cannot ask any more from myself.
• I like America, and I think probably the American people like me.
• I look at myself as someone who has been very lucky - my job is also what I enjoy most in the world, and I can make my life doing it.
• I am very proud of what we have built in Spain, because it is not a traditional Formula 1 country. I think we have found passionate fans, and built up a strong culture for the sport - and things are improving every day, with more and more people getting interested.
