allowing closer competition fighting front perfect second start stop
This was a good, fighting win. I just concentrated on making no mistakes. The competition is closer than we thought but this is the perfect start for us. The start was good, the second stop perfect, allowing me to come out in front of Michael. Very nice.
team winning world
If you're in the best team in the world, you or your teammate have to win.
stressed-out lasts firsts
I have always been very calm on the outside. I'm not too stressed now just because I'm in formula one. For me, tomorrow will be another day whether I finish first or last. I have to do the maximum and I cannot ask any more from myself.
two parent magic
My parents are responsible for the two things I like doing most - driving and magic tricks. They bought me my first go-kart and a magician's kit.
zero nice team
Creating a top team and being in a position to win the Tour de France will give me a nice feeling. But I know it is not easy to create a top team from zero. You need good riders, good staff, a lot of preparation and, most important, a lot of sponsors.

I will be going to Belgium to win -- and we will see how the weekend develops from there.

jobs destiny long
For me, it was not destiny to make it to where I am now - I thought for a long- time I would become a go-kart mechanic, or a job like this, not an F1 driver.

The race is lost. You can't overtake here and I'm starting from 15th... It's over already.
jobs looks world
