I think that texting and driving is a 100 percent no-go. I think it should be banned everywhere because you cannot be focused on looking ahead, in the mirrors, being aware of what's around you, and to type on a small keyboard and a small screen.

My motto is to do everything absolutely flat out and to the best of your ability.

I don't do much driving - about 5,000-6,000 miles a year. And most of that is to the airport and to the racing circuits.

Especially with sports cars, when you have got so many cars on the track with various degrees of competitiveness, then something will happen. It's the nature of racing, the law of averages. If you want to be a front-runner then you are going to have to push very hard, and collisions can happen.

It is hard to be number one, and it is even harder to stay there because everyone is trying to knock you off the top.

I have been listening to sport and watching sport on the BBC since I was a tiny boy.
