I have always liked a challenge.

I am very much aware that if I am getting good press at the moment I could just as easily be getting bad press. I cannot have the good and forget the bad. You have to accept it both ways.

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

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.

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.

I try to keep myself on an even keel by trying to be as critical of myself as I am of other people. I try to separate my performance from myself.

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