I enjoy trying to develop a car and Mercedes are one of the biggest car manufacturers in the world.

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.

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

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

It was my 44th win [in Monaco]; 44 is my race number; and it's been my number since I was 8. And it's my family's number as well. So it was a special day, for sure.

It is actually quite exciting when you're flying headfirst into a barrier — the initial part, the initial part is actually quite fun, especially when you hit the gravel trap and you get some air, and then you see it coming and you think 'erk — it's gonna hurt!'

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