Felipe Massa

If I had my accident maybe 10 years ago I wouldn't be here now. The technology we have now, the helmets, can save your life.

There are a lot of good cars, good teams and good drivers.

I'm very happy to be joining the Venturi Formula E Team and the Formula E championship, which has become a magnificent competition in such a short space of time.

After your time passes at Ferrari, you may drive for another team, but you're always a Ferrari driver.

Driving for Ferrari is completely different. Not in the way you work, the way of working is similar in whatever team you go - especially in the top teams. But it's different because it's like a religion.

That is something you can never explain, it is part of all sporting life. Anybody can have a bad day and they can have many good days.

I am not here really just to race. I am here to win. That's really my point.

For me, my country is the most important thing.

I will do everything I can always for my country.

The time I say that I am a number two driver, I will not race any more.

Sometimes you don't see the result that you expect.

When you're at Ferrari, you know your team-mate will be strong.

The people in the grandstand just want to see good driving, good overtaking. But inside the sport everything is about money and politics. It's stupid. And I'm not just talking about Formula One. It's every sport.

A lot of things happen in a difficult way inside Ferrari in terms of pressure.

When I got to Ferrari I learnt to be less aggressive, and how to set up the car for my driving style.

Every day you are in the media for good or for bad and sometimes this is not helping the driver or the team to control the driver in the best way as well. But Ferrari is Ferrari and the biggest, most famous team in Formula One, so you have a lot more pressure there than at another team.

I don't think really we need to race in F1 just to risk your life, or to be in danger is nice for the people. I don't think it's really like that.

I'm a big supporter of safety.

The Italians - they cannot talk without shaking the hands. And I am like that, I'm from Brazil as well.

For sure people around me, they always say don't do ovals, we are not happy to see you doing that. I'm not saying I'm scared, I'm not scared to do ovals. But I never thought about it. I was not really planning to go to do Formula Indy.

My goal is to be competitive, the best as I can give. My goal never changes in whole my career.

That's the only difference in Formula E from other championships - it's more unpredictable.

When you're talking about proper competition, I think Formula E has good competition.

These days it is not very easy to overtake in Formula One, the cars have great aerodynamic downforce. When you are behind a car, you lose downforce.

The worst feeling is when you don't have brakes, you cannot stop the car and you see that the wall is just coming in front of you. That's really a very scary moment.

My return is not about seeing Formula One as the best option, but is about seeing the role at Williams as the best option. I would not have returned for any other team.

It was always my dream to drive for Ferrari.

I am proud to be part of Ferrari's history.

I'd like to be remembered as an important component of the Ferrari team.

Just competing in the Brazilian GP is a dream for all Brazilian racing drivers. I remember sitting in the grandstands when I was a kid, watching Ayrton Senna, Nelson Piquet and even Rubens Barrichello. After that, to race there in Formula One is a feeling that is hard to explain.

There's no better place to be on the podium than here at Monza.

We are not here for political reasons, we are here for sport, to fight for positions. That's the good thing about Formula One.

Maybe I am the driver who got the most close to the championship in history.

People always put me completely out of the game, and that's even nicer because nobody expects you to do a good job and then you do a better job than everybody thinks and it's nicer.

If you know how to set up the car, if you know how to work with the team, you know what you need to have a comfortable car to drive.

My first year, I was really a kind of a wild guy. But I had a very difficult car to drive and I was very young. I think I was maybe too young to have started straight away.

I have zero pressure, because I have nothing to lose.

When the media began reporting that I might return, I was touched by the response from so many fans who wanted to see me back in the sport. That was certainly a factor in the decision, so I'd like to thank the fans for their support. But, at the end of the day, when I received the call it was an offer I couldn't refuse. It was Williams!

I'm pretty relaxed, trying to enjoy the races, trying to do the best I can in the car, trying to the give the best to the team, and that's the most important thing.

I have a passion for racing, for competing and for fighting on the track.

If you are a great guy with your competitors, with your colleagues, it is always good, even on the race track and off it.

I think that if you are well-accepted by the other drivers and respected it is important.

Sometimes things don't happen in the way you want it to. But that's sport.

I know how to lose and I know how to win.

Many Formula One races last two hours, are really boring and nothing happens.

I always had a good relationship with all my team-mates in my career.

I want to keep having fun like I have done all my life.

I think what makes things interesting in Formula E, and I really hope it happens with me, is that many drivers are able to win the race. Maybe many drivers can win the championship.

We always need to keep working to improve safety - not just the cars; the tracks and everything are very safe now.

We had many years with refueling in Formula 1 and we had a few problems, but not really very dangerous problems to be honest.
