Ultimately, the best driver will always do something special, whatever the rules and whatever the regulations. Same thing with the teams.
With my father and uncle so involved in racing, it was the only thing I ever knew, so I'm sure that had a huge influence on me. However, my father had more influence on me just by the way he lived, because the way he was at the racetrack was the way he was in everyday life.
I want to race in formula one for a lot longer.
