race paper
You don’t drive races on paper.
ambition champion racing
Do you have any ambitions outside racing? My main ambition at the moment, whether inside or outside racing, is to become Formula 1 World Champion.
important special protect
The helmet has a special meaning for many drivers. How important is it to you? - It protects my head.
careers world facts
My time in the World Rally Championship has been a useful stage in my career, but I can't deny the fact that my hunger for F1 has recently become overwhelming.
team ambition gps
It was an easy choice to return with Lotus Renault GP as I have been impressed by the scope of the team's ambition.
people bulls red
Ha, some days ago the same people were one hundred per cent sure that I'd signed for Red Bull! So much for that.
team winning race
Im winning races, Im still challenging for the world championships, the team is fantastic and I have a great relationship with everybody here - so why would I want to even consider changing?
play motor-racing people
Since I started in motor racing I've worked with people from all over the world. We are all here to go racing and prejudice will never play any part in that.
curves interesting may
In rallying every curve, every hill may be different than you thought. That makes it interesting.
past phones people
If I could throw my phone away, I would probably do it. It's always on silent, and I don't like when it rings and people are calling. We could live without those things in the past when we just had a phone on the street somewhere, on the corner or at the house. I have no interest in telling all the people what I do every day and where I am.
media paradise would-be
Formula 1 would be a paradise without the media.
thinking people schumacher
I’m not interested in what people think about me. I’m not Michael Schumacher.
sometimes knows hurrying
For sure, sometimes I don't know what I am doing.
racing too-much
In F1 too many things overshadow the racing. There is too much politics.
