For Me, Triathlons Were Something That Was Down To Me And My Fitness. Now, I Really Enjoy The Pain In The Triathlon Of Chasing Someone Down. It's A Bit Like Chasing Down Nico Rosberg In The Last Few Laps At Silverstone - It Makes You Feel Alive.

I Haven't Got The Yacht Any More. The Cost Of Running It Was Crazy. But It Was So Much Fun While I Had It. I Don't Regret It.

When I'm On My Own, I Can Be Negative. I Need My Friends And Family Around To Help Pick Me Up If I've Had A Bad Qualifying Session. I Think Insecurity Plagues A Lot Of Sportspeople.

To Be Successful In F1 You Need To Be Very Selfish In Lots Of Ways And You're Away From Home For Long Periods. That's Not The Kind Of Father I Want To Be.

My School Reports Always Used To Point Out That My Concentration Levels Were Appalling. I Never Listened In Class Because I Was Always Daydreaming About Racing. I Never Thought For A Moment About Doing Anything Else. There Was No Guarantee That I'd Make A Career In It But I Never Had Any Plan B.
