I have always been happy to have daughters rather than sons. You never really can be mad at girls for anything in life.

You can't compare eras. But drivers of each era adapt to the needs and climate of their time. There are good and bad points to every era of the sport. I'm not really nostalgic about the past.

I simply scraped together all my experience and put it into the sport.

My daughters have strong personalities. I'm close to them but they don't really need me to advise them on how to manage their lives and they don't ask me to do that.

You can't make decisions if there are no charges or issues to deal with. So it's quite normal to wait until there is some reason to react.

People want to build new circuits around the world and they say: 'We'll come to Silverstone and have a look how it's done', and I tell them to stay away.

I also would rather race than strut red carpets in Hollywood - and thank God this is not my job - but also the team principals should be more prominent.
