I'm world champion, baby!

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

I felt confident at 24, but I am a better driver now.

I like old tunes when I'm driving. They're fun and uplifting. Billy Ocean, that kind of thing.

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.

If I ever have a son, and if he wants to follow in my footsteps in Formula 1, my main responsibility will be to point out some of the negatives.

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.
