buttons car developing fit hope next obviously positions season small sort sure wheel
We go through the whole season working on next season's car and developing the car and making sure we fit in the car and all that sort of stuff. And we obviously give ideas of what we would hope next year's car would have even if it's small things like buttons on the steering wheel and different positions and whatever.
caused decision regret
I regret the difficulties my decision has caused everyone involved.
happy tough weekend
I'm very happy with that as it's been a tough weekend for me,
baby champion world
I'm world champion, baby!
selfish race careers
When it comes to my racing career I'm very driven and very selfish. People who are around me at races will know that I'm a different person here than in my personal life. I completely blank people at races. I need to be focused. I'm rude.
uplifting fun ocean
I like old tunes when I'm driving. They're fun and uplifting. Billy Ocean, that kind of thing.
running fun regret
I haven't got the yacht any more. The cost of running it was crazy. But it was so much fun while I had it. I don't regret it.
mustache trying moustache
My 'Movember' moustache was never going to be as big as Nigel Mansell's, but I tried my best. The amazing thing is that when you try to grow a moustache, you notice everyone else's. There are some amazing moustaches on the grid.
racing realistic
Le Mans' is the only racing movie that is totally realistic.
sports morning thinking
A lot of people think Formula One isn't a sport because everyone drives a car when they go to work in the morning. But we're pulling up to six G on a corner or during breaking, which is almost like being a fighter pilot. So we have to do a lot of work on our neck muscles.
ugly looks remember
You look back and you remember the good, the bad and the ugly
jealous winning care
It doesn't matter who wins if I don't. I only care if I win. I'm jealous of anyone else who wins.
want triathlon formulas
I can't eat whatever I want, definitely not. I'm always controlled because I do a lot of fitness and triathlons, not just Formula One, so I always make sure I eat the right things.
dad selfish father
The only time I think about life beyond F1 is when I contemplate becoming a dad. But there's no way that's going to happen while I'm still racing. To be successful in F1 you need to be very selfish in lots of ways and you're away from home for long periods. That's not the kind of father I want to be.
