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

I've spent as much as 30 grand on a watch but it's not about flaunting my wealth. I don't have many extravagances but watches are my biggest one. I must have 30 of them now. I've been collecting since the age of nine, when I won a black TAG in a karting event.

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.

I think fans of the sport have a good understanding now of how fit Formula One drivers need to be.

I always sleep really well, particularly before a race, when the adrenaline's pumping.

Resting for me is fitness training.
