The first race is really just something that we will all need to get through. Until people see the cars in action I don't think they will understand how quick they will be, which means they are going to be tiring to drive.

The preparation, commitment and desire to win will be no less than the last time I drove a grand prix car in anger.

I think life is full of challenges and problems. I don't believe that anyone is perfect. We all make mistakes. It's not a bed of roses, and you have to work real hard at it.

Every GP Masters race will stand out because we will be available for fans, media and sponsors.

The Masters is going to be an awesome challenge.

The format of the race weekend is also very well thought out. We have enough practice time to get the cars well set-up and have a proper qualifying session where we can do as many laps as we like, which is great for the drivers and spectators.

Everything in Formula 1 has been sterilised now, the whole thing is controlled too much.
