(On Mark Webber's retirement)
"I really respect what he wants to do with his life. We always have a time where we need to decide that and you need to look for your next life. Your Formula One career is one life and the other career or work you're going to do is the next life so it's not easy to stop and do something different. I really hope he can have a fantastic time."
