Whenever I have to do something, I try to minimise the time it takes me to do it. I just cannot wait.

I come from an ordinary family - my dad is a carpenter, a roof-maker - and we've always loved racing together.

Sometimes you need to press pause to let everything sink in.

It's just fantastic to feel the speed and the braking. It was a hard work - to hold an f1 car on the circuit is a job in itself. To drive quickly is another thing. I enjoyed it.

Teams like Ferrari, McLaren and Mercedes are going to be very, very motivated to go for the titles.

You can't always say what you'd like to say.

Qualifying is all about putting everything that you have and that the car has in one lap. It's like a rush, I really enjoy that.
