If I am treated fairly, I like to do things in a fair manner. That is the way I have been all my career. I haven't tried to do things in an underhanded way.

The problem comes when you say that danger is part of the equation. Then you don't do any more work on safety. That shouldn't happen.

People ask me to describe myself, but it's a very personal thing. You don't feel comfortable.

It was five years since I'd won a race, so I was a bit bewildered.

I am surprised people took so long to pick up on the fact that my contract expires at the end of this year. Eddie has to decide who he wants to drive, so there is no secret anywhere. I am not concerned. It does not sit with my objectives to be competitive.

If someone is being absolutely critical of me as a driver, what could they say? I am also critical of myself to try and keep things in perspective. That is very important.

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.
