When I was a kid, I would watch the grands prix. Everyone dreamt of becoming a race driver, while I only started thinking about it when I was 18 or 19. Only at that age did I seriously start thinking about this job. Before then, I would change ideas from one second to the next.

I just love the American spirit of racing. It feels just great to get involved with that.

When I did some NASKAR races this year I noticed that I was increasingly missing the racing side - to race against each other - because in rallying you really race against the clock.

You always want to have a winning car, but there is no guarantee that it will be.

In F1 too many things overshadow the racing. There is too much politics.

You don’t drive races on paper.

Ive just got to do a good job and stay on in Formula One for as long as I can.
