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.

My 'Movember' moustache was never going to be as big as Nigel Mansell's, but I tried my best. The amazing thing is that when you try to grow a moustache, you notice everyone else's. There are some amazing moustaches on the grid.

It doesn't matter how much money you've got, or how many connections, there's always something you want that's out of reach.

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

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.

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 keep my weight low, although you need to be able to move your weight around the race car to change the balance. I'm 6ft and I'm 70kg so I haven't much fat on me.
