I have no fear of death, so I don't think about it. I love the adrenalin kick that danger brings. Others get their kicks bungee jumping from tall buildings. I'm very, very competitive. I want to be the best at everything I do. It's not driving - it's everything - it might be playing my guitar, I try to be the best at it as I possibly can.

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.

As long as you win Monaco, that's the one. In my ten years of Formula One, I've only won here once. This is my second time.Every year, it feels like this is your Achilles heel. You almost have it and then you don't. It's such a hard race to win.

I grew up going to the store, seeing the products [of L'Oréal ], seeing the commercials and the ambassadors. I never in a million years thought I'd be associated with them.

We have 21 races in the year and Monaco is the one that you want to win.

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

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