I am a demanding person to interview.

Image has an influence on what sort of car I will get to drive or deals that I'm offered by teams.

No matter how good a driver you are, you have to have the right car and the right team behind you in order to succeed.

The darkness is my birthright.

It's very, very special for me. This is where I've grown up, it's my home, and winning the Monaco Grand Prix is the highlight of any racing driver's career and for me a childhood dream. It being my home makes it all the more special, unbelievable.

Your voice is your identity. If you don't use it- you're halfway to Asphodel already.

I'm definitely a morning person. I wake up dead happy, looking forward to having my cereal!
