• Tyre management has always been part of the qualifying strategy and the race itself. I dont know about others; I just know that I always push as much as I can to obtain the best result possible.

• La carrera ha sido muy dura y al final estoy muy contento con el resultado. Michelin ha hecho un gran trabajo con los neumáticos... ¡el agarre al límite era increíble! Cuando abría el acelerador había tanta tracción que era increíble. Mi equipo ha hecho un gran trabajo y aunque no hayamos ganado hemos vuelto a mejorar en el Campeonato del Mundo. Es bueno ser el mejor clasificado de Michelin y también la primera Honda en casa. Confío en que en Malasia podamos vengarnos de Bridgestone. Han hecho un gran trabajo y Loris ha pilotado muy duro? enhorabuena a todos. Creo que ha sido una buena batalla para los aficionados.

• Lo básico que debe saber un hombre es cómo cambiar una rueda y cómo conducir un tractor. Lo que haga ese barbudo en los anuncios de cerveza Dos Equis marca la pauta. Ese es tu hombre. Todo hombre debería aspirar a ser como él. La barba es sólo la punta del iceberg.

• It's two seasons since I raced in Sepang and I'm looking forward to it now. It's a track where you have a little bit of everything - it's hard to ride, it's hot, there are fast and slow corners, hard braking, long straights and everybody has references from the tests.
  Nevertheless, we need to wait to see on Friday what the temperature and track conditions are like to understand how the tyres will work, because it's normally very slippery. I'm really enjoying racing at the moment and I want to continue like this, pushing the maximum from our side without thinking about the others.

• You need to realise that, if you want to go on, you have to work hard. If you dwell too much on your past successes and say "well, I have won nine world titles and more than 100 races", you'd rather stay home. The sport, your rivals, the tyres, your motorcycle, everything changes so instead you need to work more to be stronger. If you don't, you're finished.

• Lagos was a city that had been turned against itself. There was a bridge that became the perfect trap for crimes, which began with nails being scattered to cause flat tyres. If the driver stopped, the car would be dismantled in 20 minutes and the parts thrown overboard [to people waiting below]. The system had turned into a kind of destructive device that could be used against people. That was the narrative.

• ¡whhheeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! El chillido de los motores a reacción va in crescendo en las pistas de todo el mundo. Cada segundo, en un lugar u otro, un avión aterriza, con una bocanada de humo procedente de la goma chamuscada de los neumáticos, o se eleva en el aire, dejando a su paso una mancha de humos negros que se disuelven. Desde el espacio, la Tierra podría parecer a un ojo fantasioso un enorme carrusel, con aviones en lugar de caballos girando alrededor de su circunferencia, arriba y abajo, arriba y abajo. ¡Whhheeeeeeeeeee!

• The trick at Le Mans is to get the car 'in the window.' Everything is critical: the tyre pressure, the brake temperature, and that means you have to push the car a lot to get it into the window - it's about getting everything to work right and getting the car to flow through the corners.

• That was a frustrating race for me. I pushed as hard as possible at the start on the medium tyres whilst everyone around me was on the grippier soft compound rubber. Once I moved to the soft tyres I was able to set the race's then fastest lap so things looked good with our strategy. Unfortunately the engine anti-kill triggered when I came in to make my final pit stop which cost me a lot of time. It's frustrating as we should have finished strongly. My focus is now Barcelona where I've delivered very strongly in the past.

• The only thing that really annoys me is when all of a sudden you hear yourself on the radio advertising Smith's tyre shop or Blenkinsop's jam. They simply can't do that. And in Australia, occasionally I have to take action.

• Mauricio Pellegrino has the pace of a tricycle with a flat tyre ridden by Luciano Pavarotti, and the turning speed of an oil tanker with its anchor set.

• Un cielo verde mar: lámparas floreciendo en blanco. Es tierra marginal: campos de alambre tendido, de neumáticos sin huella en las cunetas, frigoríficos muertos a sus espaldas y ponis hambrientos surcando el barro. Es un paisaje plagado de parias y fugitivos, de afganos, turcos y kurdos: de chivos expiatorios, con cicatrices de botellas y quemaduras, que cojean de las ciudades con las costillas rotas. Las formas de vida aquí son desechos, o anomalías: los gatos volcados desde los coches a toda velocidad, y las ovejas de Heathrow, con el vellón coagulado por el hedor del combustible de aviación.

• In the context of the great debates about identity politics - are you gay or straight, nationalist or republican, British or English and so on - I would ask, "Do you ride a bike?" I love everything about the machine - the sensation of the tyres on the road, the mobility - and I love the fact that you have this intimate relationship with the elements, and the landscape.
