Never think that success is down to your own performance alone. If you start listening only to yourself you take the first step back towards the bottom. The flowers of victory belong in many vases.

More quotes by Michael Schumacher
I just want to be known as a very normal person and be treated as that and be able to walk down the street like anyone else.
Michael Schumacher
I know what I am, and what I have to do in my profession, so I can handle the pressure. It's the way I think.
Michael Schumacher
Mika Hakkinen was the best opponent (I've had) in terms of his quality, but the biggest admiration I had for him was we had 100% fight on track but a totally disciplined life off track. We respected each other highly and let each other live quietly.
Michael Schumacher
Ross Brawn knows that I prefer to have odd race numbers.
Michael Schumacher

You win a race, the next race it’s a question mark. Are you still the best or not? That’s what is funny. But that’s what is interesting. And that’s what is challenging. You have to prove yourself every time.

Technology has certainly reduced performance differences among drivers. Whereas a talented driver could get a half-second out of every lap in the past, nowadays talent makes up for only about one or two tenths of a second. But the driver is still the key factor.
Michael Schumacher
If you do things to the limit, and don’t purposely go over that limit, then I think it’s fine to do whatever you want. So long as you enjoy it. That’s what’s important.
Michael Schumacher
With this type of thing there are always different opinions and mine is that it is impossible to blame either one of us. [on a crash with Heidfeld]
Michael Schumacher
If I didn't even stand a chance of winning races and competing for the title, I don't think I would be that interested in continuing my career.
Michael Schumacher
My time with Ferrari was wonderful. I have found friends and had experiences that I would not want to be without.
Michael Schumacher
Just being a mediocre driver has never been my ambition. That's not my style.
Michael Schumacher
I retired simply because I didn't have the passion and motivation anymore, I was tired. At the time I thought, 'Well, I had a great time, there is the end.' At some moment there is the right time to call it an end.
Michael Schumacher
I decided on a vision. I think I maybe join Toyota at the midpoint of a project, whose long-term goal is winning world championships. Also I have my big ambition, the drivers' world championship. That is not abandoned - entirely the opposite. I am young enough and motivated enough to make a new start in order to reach this goal.
Michael Schumacher
I'm Michael Schumacher. I don't need to test my driving ability.
Michael Schumacher
When you are part of a community for 14 years, it inevitably shapes you. I will always have a part of Ferrari beside me a part of my heart will always be red.
