The British tend to shy away from the spotlight. We don't like being singled out in any way, and I think that is something which is important for me to learn to do.

I have always liked a challenge.

Winning is everything. The only ones who remember you when you come second are your wife and your dog.

To be honest, I think for part of my late teens my character didn't really develop very much. I was in a state of cold storage.

After you've had Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna as team-mates you don't give a **** who the next bloke is

Last year was a lifetime, a whole career in one season. We went from being the dregs to winners.

If I am pushed I will push back, that is the way I am. I am very British. We don't like to be pushed around. When the chips are down we might have to step into grey areas.
