When I look at pictures from when I was younger, I think, "Holy crap, what the hell was I wearing?" I've made it a real mission to fully understand what fashion is all about. I love going to these shows because I love seeing creativity. So when I get to meet these fashion designers, I'm kind of like, "Where did you get the idea to make this? What were you thinking?" Some of that stuff is so crazy and loud.

In racing there are always things you can learn, every single day. There is always space for improvement, and I think that applies to everything in life.

When people ask me that, I say I don't want to be remembered. It means I'm no longer around.

I love it in the States. The roads are big, the food is big. If it was possible to be in L.A. and still live my racing life, I would move now.

Im an extremist so Im either hated or loved. I think its down to when I first got to Formula One not always knowing what I was saying, saying things that mean one thing but people were taking the other way and then people dont forget.

Sure every driver has his value and you want to be respected... but again money is not something that drives me.

Normally, racing drivers come from a long line of previous successful sports people.
