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

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

What people tend to forget is the journey that I had getting to Formula One. There were plenty of years where I had to learn about losing and having bad races.

Now each race is different every time because it's a different journey to get to it - the difficulties you faced getting the car into that position. I manage myself. I chose my team myself. So there's a huge satisfaction for me.

I don't know if you've ever been skiing, but if you go to the slope you'll see all these kids fearlessly zooming by. It's only when we get older that fear creeps in. But for me, it just never has. And when it comes to racing, it's always about who is willing to go further, who is willing to take that extra step. I'm willing to take any amount of pain to win. I'm hungry like you.

I feel like people are expecting me to fail, therefore, I expect myself to win.

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.
