I grew up going to the store, seeing the products [of L'Oréal ], seeing the commercials and the ambassadors. I never in a million years thought I'd be associated with them.

My Bridgestone tire blows out on a day that Ferrari wins? Smells too convienent to me.

Obviously I am not happy but they can throw what they want at me, I will come back stronger.

Nothing can really prepare you for when you get in the Formula One car. Knowing that you're driving a multimillion-dollar car, and if you crash it it's going to cost a lot of money, and they might not give you another chance, is scary.

I was born to race and to win.

I don't aspire to be like other drivers - I aspire to be unique in my own way.

I want to crush everyone. I want to outsmart everyone.
