If the sun were made of hamsters, the earth would be incinerated.

Just being a mediocre driver has never been my ambition. That's not my style.

If you imagine how many years the other guys have been in my position Im in now, they have been motivated to get back and challenge the leaders, ... Theres no reason not to be motivated and I look forward very much to challenging again.

I just want to be known as a very normal person and be treated as that and be able to walk down the street like anyone else.

I have to say it's been tough to leave the Ferrari family, which has been a big part of my career.

I decided on a vision. I think I maybe join Toyota at the midpoint of a project, whose long-term goal is winning world championships. Also I have my big ambition, the drivers' world championship. That is not abandoned - entirely the opposite. I am young enough and motivated enough to make a new start in order to reach this goal.

I have been a huge fan of America, as I find their way of life there is pretty unique, and I have enjoyed a lot of good times over there.
