Tell us how you matured the decision to quit as a driver: was it a painful decision or did you make it with serenity?
I made the decision calmly, during the season. My feeling was that to stay at the Top in this sport takes a lot of training, a lot of commitment even outside of racing. At my age it’s normal that after a life spent on the track you also want to see more; I think it was the right time. I had already decided it would be at the end of this season. I had already talked about it with Mr. Robazzi, and just before the summer vacation, the thought became final.
