sports danger exciting
Formula One was a very dangerous sport. It still is dangerous. But the danger factor is also the exciting part.
life weekend thinking
I don't feel I need to come and drive the race of Lewis Hamilton's life. I think I've driven pretty well this year and I plan to drive Lewis Hamilton's best this weekend.
winning blow smell
My Bridgestone tire blows out on a day that Ferrari wins? Smells too convienent to me...
fun way shifting
There's so much more power, so you're short-shifting all the way down into fifth, sixth, seventh before you can get the full throttle. But great fun otherwise,
want drivers values
Sure every driver has his value and you want to be respected but again money is not something that drives me.
dream goal racing
TO be racing in Formula One with Mclaren has been the ultimate goal for me. It's a dream come true.
smartphones knowing people
That's the great thing about today, having smartphones to stay in touch and share experiences. Knowing that whilst there may be thousands of miles between you, it's almost like they're there. That's the coolest thing, and that's how I stay in touch with the people that are important to me.
dream winning numbers
Michael [Schumacher] was a phenomenal driver but for me, Ayrton Senna was the greatest ever. If I could get one world championship that would be great; if I could win three, the same number as Ayrton did, that would be a dream. But I want to be the best driver there has ever been.
mean thinking knowing
Im an extremist so Im either hated or loved. I think its down to when I first got to Formula One not always knowing what I was saying, saying things that mean one thing but people were taking the other way and then people dont forget.
moving racing bigs
I love it in the States. The roads are big, the food is big. If it was possible to be in L.A. and still live my racing life, I would move now.
sports successful people
Normally, racing drivers come from a long line of previous successful sports people.
dream winning control-myself
I was trying to control myself because I wanted to just park the car and jump out and do cartwheels. The next dream is to win the world championship.
car trying world
I enjoy trying to develop a car and Mercedes are one of the biggest car manufacturers in the world.
either extremist formula hated knowing people saying taking
I'm an extremist so I'm either hated or loved. I think it's down to when I first got to Formula One not always knowing what I was saying, saying things that mean one thing but people were taking the other way and then people don't forget.
