I'm brave to say that I won't take this sort of risk.

The people who criticise you will not be the ones taking care of your legs when you are in your wheelchair. People who never drove a car in these conditions, they just don't know.

I have always had this mentality because I hated to break anything on the car.

When I drove for British teams... they called me The Tadpole because I was too small to be a frog.

So in fact the only thing you can judge in this sport its the longterm. You can judge a career or a season, but not one race.

That is an important part of my success. Another big part of my success is that I hated not to finish a race.

It's always better to speak the language of the team. Not only for the direct contact with everyone - sometimes it also helps you to understand the mentality of the people in the team a bit better.
