My time at Honda was amazing. Some of my best times in Formula One, actually. I might not have won races, just one race, but I had a lot of fun.

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.

It doesn't matter who wins if I don't. I only care if I win. I'm jealous of anyone else who wins.

My school reports always used to point out that my concentration levels were appalling. I never listened in class because I was always daydreaming about racing. I never thought for a moment about doing anything else. There was no guarantee that I'd make a career in it but I never had any plan B.

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

If I run I lose so much weight, which I need because you're limited on weight when you are a tall driver. And have you seen marathon runners? They're quite skinny.

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