People get excited around me and behave differently than they would normally. I don't feel different from anyone else, except that I drive a racing car round in circles faster than somebody else.

I always thought records were there to be broken.

If I didn't even stand a chance of winning races and competing for the title, I don't think I would be that interested in continuing my career.

Somehow I have managed to delay looking old. In reality I have good genes.

I'm not very comfortable with what people sometimes say or think about me - things I don't feel responsible for.

I don't feel like promising big things to my fans. I'm not thinking about victory at all. I'll do my best to get on the podium at least, although I must admit I feel fairly pessimistic.

The more precisely I can drive, the more I enjoy myself.
