I didn't have statistics in my mind when I was racing. It was always a consequence - a nice consequence. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't the reason I was racing.

The switch from ten-cylinder to eight-cylinder engines means that each manufacturer has to redevelop its power train. Not all will manage to successfully combine performance with reliability the first time around. That could shake things up a bit when it comes team hierarchy.

I think I was five when I had my real first go-kart.

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

I like to share my life, and spend time with someone I love. That has worked 100 per cent with my wife.

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.

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