The helmet has a special meaning for many drivers. How important is it to you? - It protects my head.

In rallying every curve, every hill may be different than you thought. That makes it interesting.

There's always a lot of talk about motivation to race, but nobody really knows what I do or what I think apart from myself, so I don't really care what people think.

Where I went off, you can get back on the track by going through the support race pitlane, but you have to go through a gate. I know this as I did the same thing in 2001 and the gate was open that year. Somebody closed it this time. Next year, I'll make sure it's open again...

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

Do you have any ambitions outside racing? My main ambition at the moment, whether inside or outside racing, is to become Formula 1 World Champion.

Ha, some days ago the same people were one hundred per cent sure that I'd signed for Red Bull! So much for that.
