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.

I have one quote I very often read to myself, from a very good friend: 'Forget the people around you now; remember the little boy who was racing in go-karts, what you were dreaming of and what he wanted to achieve one day and what was his goal. Race for him.'. I fell in love with the sport, I love racing. The amount of satisfaction I get just going around in a Formula 1 car makes me smile. So if it is a bad day then you tend to come out and say it's horrible and you don't enjoy. But if you had to pick between that and doing nothing, you would always pick that.

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

The moment money becomes your motivation, you are immediately not as good as someone who is stimulated by passion and internal will.

I put everything in that last lap, it was very emotional when I crossed the line. It was all I had, I gave it all.

All these nice people saying I'm going to be world champion won't make me any faster, you have to believe it yourself.

All in all it was a smooth race, the car was very well balanced. I'm very proud to be the first winner here in India.
