There are a lot of factors in the life of an F1 driver which can combine to make you believe that you are somehow above normality. I think that is a mistake to start believing that. But, at the same time, it is important to be confident.

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

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

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

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

Because it is my second season with the team, no time has been wasted in getting to know the people I'm working with. I am aware of what the team is capable of and how the organisation works, and they are familiar with what makes me tick.

I have always liked a challenge.
