• I am all the sponsors and partners who have supported me
• I am all the journalists who have ever written about me
• I am who I am because of everybody 
I am the effervescence before the start of the season. I am my mother who was my first sponsor, who guided me and gave me support. I am Maria, my girlfriend who backs me up in everything I do. I am my colleagues from the gym where I go train for every race and the psychologist I speak to before every rally. I am the service mechanic building the race car and the engineer who verifies the technical parameters before every start. I am Mack, the man taking care of the team's logistics and I am all the people making my car function perfectly using Yato tools.
I am all the events and races I have taken part to. I am the emotion of the first contact with the car and the gazes of the girls on my right during Citroen Girls Driving Experience. I am all the stars who wanted to discover the life of a rally pilot and who felt what this means behind the wheel of my car. I am the beautiful girls who promoted the rally car in events and exhibitions and all those who admired it and wanted to see it on the special stages. I am Simone Jean-Joseph who showed me how to drive the Citroen C2 R2 Max faster and Philippe Bugalski from whom I have learned the accuracy and rapidity of movements. I am Samuel who made my car function exactly as I wanted. I am Gicu, my copilot who sees after the corner of every turn and keeps me on the track.
I am all the contesters in the Romanian Rally Championship and all the pilots who have ever driven a rally car. I am the race commissary Gicu hands the book to. I am the heart that beats harder before the start on the special stages and the drop of sweat slipping in my eye. I am the tarmac of the first championship's stages and the stones under my car on gravel special stages. I am the sadness moments I have experienced during this year's first stages.

I am all the team supporting me and together with whom I have lost and won. I am all the fans and friends encouraging me on the special stages or every day. I am all the people I had the pleasure to offer an autographed poster in every Orange shop. I am the smile lightening my face when driving Cefin caravan little truck.
I am every amazement and delight expression had in front of the Citroen model in all the showrooms opened this year. I am the Sibiu Rally who brought me the most numerous satisfactions and all the noises of the car during the race. I am the terrible heat suffocating me in the car and the dust stopping my breath. I am every turn which has ever frightened or delighted me. I am every time I went off the road in my career and have learned from it. I am all the happy moments this sport is offering me. I am all the podiums I have stepped on this year and all the trophies at home giving me wings.
I am all the people who love me and all the people who disregard me. I am the perseverance hidden in every person quitting smoking and the harmony of every violin song. I am the journalists I have invited in my world and the ones who have written about me. I am all the sponsors and partners supporting me. I am Alex Filip, a rally pilot and I am who I am because of everybody.
