My new car's called ‘Randy Mandy', which we decided on this morning. We all liked the name immediately - a good sign I guess, but no, it's not actually named after a real girl. (Sebastian Vettel)

The chequered flag is really just a stupid wooden stick and a piece of cloth. It's a small thing, but it means so much when you cross the line at moments like that. It was unbelievable.

Sebastian Vettel

Simply racing a Formula 1 car is an achievement.

Sebastian Vettel

Generally I don't care about what people say. I have to be clear with myself. When everything goes well, people celebrate you, when you make mistakes people criticize you.

Sebastian Vettel

Sometimes you need to press pause to let everything sink in.

Sebastian Vettel

The lap back to the pits and the whole podium ceremony was just unbelievable. I think for sure this is the best day of my life. These pictures, these emotions, I will never forget. It is unbelievable. It is so much greater than you might think it is. It is great. Again, I can just say a big, big thank you to all the guys working in the team. I think they did a fantastic job. Who might have thought about that at the beginning of the season. We had a poor start but then it got better and better and in these conditions we can make a bit of a gap by staying longer on full throttle. It is great, fantastic. I am speechless.

Sebastian Vettel

The three Michaels - Michael Schumacher, Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson. I wanted to become Michael Jackson when I was young. It was painful to realise that I didn't have the voice...

Sebastian Vettel

It's all different. He's Australian, I'm German. He has car number six, I have car number five, so I think there's lots of stuff for you to write again.

Sebastian Vettel

Well, I think as far as I understood if you said to Red Bull I think we are still selling cans, so not much has happened in that regard.

Sebastian Vettel

Germany will clearly win the match as Australia is the weakest team in our group, so winning should be imperative, even though Mark (Webber) has a different opinion on that. But as we know, the both of us have lately had some different opinions on things anyway.

Sebastian Vettel

It will take time for this to sink in. It was my dream to one day drive a Formula One car and even if my target now has been to fight for poles and race wins, I didn't expect it today and it feels fantastic. Doing it here in Italy is also amazing. (Sebastian Vettel)

At the first test I really started to go through a couple of names and I like the name Liz and Luscious Liz fits quite well, I think. It's an attractive car, it's quick and successful. But the main attribute naturally should be that she's bloody quick.

Sebastian Vettel

I can only say that Red Bull gives you wings. It's as simple as that.

Sebastian Vettel

Yeah, I'm not afraid of him. As far as I remember, he fell off a bike a couple of years ago or last year, so his leg is still a bit unstable, so I can always run away, plus I'm younger, so there are good chances for me.

Sebastian Vettel

You have to pinch yourself to remember how young he is, to be honest, because in the way he presents himself, the way he drives the car and then tells you about the car in his feedback in the debriefs and so forth, he has a much older pair of shoulders on him than is apparent.

Sebastian Vettel

You can't change what happened. But you can still change what will happen.

Sebastian Vettel

I don't care too much what happened in the past. I prefer to focus on what is coming next and I am really looking forward to it.

Sebastian Vettel

There are some things that you can fulfil with money, but at the end of the day these are not the things that make you happy. It is the small things that make life good.

Sebastian Vettel

At the end of your life, it's friendships, emotions and thoughts that you take with you, rather than what's in your bank account. So, even though people don't have a lot here, they are a lot richer in many ways and we can learn from that.

Sebastian Vettel

You can't always say what you'd like to say.

Sebastian Vettel

When I went into the last lap I was regretting a bit that it was over. I was enjoying again the first sector for the last time. Simply fantastic this circuit, and if you get 53 laps more, you appreciate it even more. It's made by God's hands. (Sebastian Vettel)

When you walk the track and you see a corner and realise you were going round it at 160mph, you wonder who could be so stupid to take a corner at that speed. But in the car, you don't even think about that.

Sebastian Vettel

I put everything in that last lap, it was very emotional when I crossed the line. It was all I had, I gave it all.

Sebastian Vettel

There are a few things that make me angry. Mostly things not going my way.

Sebastian Vettel

Whenever I have to do something, I try to minimise the time it takes me to do it. I just cannot wait.
