Be yourself. If you try to be someone else, it won't work. Whatever you do, you are not going to make everyone happy.

I’m not interested in what people think about me. I’m not Michael Schumacher.

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

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

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.

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

If I could throw my phone away, I would probably do it. It's always on silent, and I don't like when it rings and people are calling. We could live without those things in the past when we just had a phone on the street somewhere, on the corner or at the house. I have no interest in telling all the people what I do every day and where I am.
