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.
car limits boundaries
I know my boundaries. I know the limits to the car.
thinking greatness knows
When I think about greatness I just know Ayrton Senna. He was great.
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,
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.
hurt fun thinking
It is actually quite exciting when you're flying headfirst into a barrier—the initial part, the initial part is actually quite fun, especially when you hit the gravel trap and you get some air, and then you see it coming and you think 'erk—it's gonna hurt!
sports danger exciting
Formula One was a very dangerous sport. It still is dangerous. But the danger factor is also the exciting part.
team winning race
I always remind myself if I'm having a down day because of a bad race it's not just me. That feeling I'm having is shared by my family, the team and my fans. When we win they feel the joy as well. That's why I say we win and lose together, and I definitely couldn't do it without them.
journey race years
What people tend to forget is the journey that I had getting to Formula One. There were plenty of years where I had to learn about losing and having bad races.
winning long achilles
As long as you win Monaco, that's the one. In my ten years of Formula One, I've only won here once. This is my second time.Every year, it feels like this is your Achilles heel. You almost have it and then you don't. It's such a hard race to win.
driving mess hairstyles
When you're driving, the helmet squashes your hair, so you don't really have a hairstyle. When you get out, you're sweating and your hair is a mess.
thinking blonde disaster
I went blonde which killed my hair. It was a disaster. I think it was neat to do it for a bit.
