To Drive An F1 Car You Have To Be A Little Mad. On The Morning Of A Race There's A Mix Of Excitement And Fear. If It's A Wet Track, Then It's Worse As You're Not In Control Most Of The Time, Which Is The Thing All Drivers Fear The Most.

It Is Such A Special Feeling To Win A Grand Prix.

The Only Time I Think About Life Beyond F1 Is When I Contemplate Becoming A Dad. But There's No Way That's Going To Happen While I'm Still Racing. 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.
