For me writing and filmmaking is a therapeutic process. It reflects themes that I'm going through at a time in my life.

When I'm driving I should make more of an effort with my iPod, but I'm too lazy to organise a playlist.

For me to train and get ready for racing, I can't just sit in the gym all the time and that's the way it is. Responsibility starts and stops with me. My main gig is grand prix driving, that's what I do and I need to keep that in the forefront of my mind.

When people can be vulnerable to one another then you're kind of giving people permission to really be yourself and not try to impress all the time and you get into more interesting work. You're being real and you're not afraid to mess up or seem weird.

I don't really know what I'm ever looking for, it's kind of like whatever happens to resonate at the time with me.

I think, as most people are, I'm fascinated with love, relationships, and my daily life so I'm very inclined to make films about those things.

Formula one is very one-dimensional in terms of what we do in the cockpit.
