For me it was a normality having a father who was a world champion. I grew up with that, so it was never extra pressure. And I've never felt the need to emerge from his shadow.

The darkness is my birthright.

It is a burden because I get asked about my father all the time. I just need to accept that he was a champion before me.

I remember my father's last race very clearly when he drove at Hockenheim in front of 100,000 people and I was sitting next to him on the roof of his car and waving to the fans. That was the moment when I thought: 'One day I want to do the same.'

My dad is a great manager. He's not just competent - he's very clever.

My dad lives in Sicily, so I'm half Italian and half Irish - it's a fiery combination.

I am a demanding person to interview.
