My saying is; We win and lose together. I think that really does apply to both my fans, family and the team.

I always remind myself if I'm having a down day because of a bad race it's not just me. That feeling I'm having is shared by my family, the team and my fans. When we win they feel the joy as well. That's why I say we win and lose together, and I definitely couldn't do it without them.

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

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

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.

During the race, we lose 2-4 kilos of liquids.

I think grooming is definitely undervalued by men. We all expect women to be fully groomed, which they do. But I also think it's just as important for a man to look fresh and clean.
