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.

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

When I think about greatness I just know Ayrton Senna. He was great.

I don't feel I need to come and drive the race of Lewis Hamilton's life. I think I've driven pretty well this year and I plan to drive Lewis Hamilton's best this weekend.

I'm constantly watching my weight for my job, and I've trained so hard this year to be ready for this season-more rigorously than ever - but people who tune in to Formula One have no comprehension of what we have to do to be fit. It's so physical. This year, the car is way faster than when you came to the race. And the physicality has gone up quite a lot, at least 20 to 30 percent. People don't see that. They don't see us as athletes. They just see us driving.

I take as much time as I need. I want to be fresh and smelling good.
