I love cycling, running and swimming. In recent years I've competed regularly in triathlons, which means I don't find the physical side of driving a struggle any more.

I always think I should try to get to bed early, but then I can't stop myself from watching telly and fiddling around on the net.

I don't purposely speed, but I might go over by five or six miles an hour from time to time. It doesn't give me a buzz driving on normal roads, because I can't go fast enough. It's never going to be anything like an F1 car.

When it comes to my racing career I'm very driven and very selfish. People who are around me at races will know that I'm a different person here than in my personal life. I completely blank people at races. I need to be focused. I'm rude.

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

In my hometown there is a pub named after me - The Frome Flyer on Jenson Avenue. How cool is that?!

The fast, flowing parts, the high-speed corners, that's where a Formula One car is at its best - changes of direction, pulling high g-forces left and right.
