When I do retire, I know for a fact that I'll never be able to replace the incredible feeling I get when I'm driving an F1 car.

Resting for me is fitness training.

Women don't get the same opportunities that men get in racing, so they don't get to learn race craft.

To understand the intensity of driving an F1 car, you have to be in it. When you're driving a 750hp machine at 320km/h, the noise and the vibrations are incredible. The G-force when you take big corners is like someone trying to rip your head off. You hit the brakes, and it feels as if the skin is being pulled off your body.

I have made lots of mistakes in terms of contracts and spending money when I shouldn't have spent money.

I can't eat whatever I want, definitely not. I'm always controlled because I do a lot of fitness and triathlons, not just Formula One, so I always make sure I eat the right things.

A lot of people think Formula One isn't a sport because everyone drives a car when they go to work in the morning. But we're pulling up to six G on a corner or during breaking, which is almost like being a fighter pilot. So we have to do a lot of work on our neck muscles.
