I can't go to the cinema. I go to the bathroom in a petrol station and people come in there for autographs. It's tough but I knew that was going to be the case.

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

You just need to be accepted for who you are and be proud of who you are and that is what I'm trying to do.

That's the great thing about today, having smartphones to stay in touch and share experiences. Knowing that whilst there may be thousands of miles between you, it's almost like they're there. That's the coolest thing, and that's how I stay in touch with the people that are important to me.

Michael [Schumacher] was a phenomenal driver but for me, Ayrton Senna was the greatest ever. If I could get one world championship that would be great; if I could win three, the same number as Ayrton did, that would be a dream. But I want to be the best driver there has ever been.

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

My brother and I are always playing F1 on the PlayStation and now I am going to be in one of those cars on the games!
