football kids energy
I always want to be the best at what I do. As a kid, whatever I was doing, if I was playing football or whatever I was applying my energy to at the time, I always wanted to do it to the best of my abilities. And I was always interested in finding out how I could do it better.
winning race born
I was born to race and to win.
team winning thinking
My saying is; We win and lose together. I think that really does apply to both my fans, family and the team.
stronger want not-happy
Obviously I am not happy but they can throw what they want at me, I will come back stronger.
thinking guitar jumping
I have no fear of death, so I don't think about it. I love the adrenalin kick that danger brings. Others get their kicks bungee jumping from tall buildings. I'm very, very competitive. I want to be the best at everything I do. It's not driving - it's everything - it might be playing my guitar, I try to be the best at it as I possibly can.
morning sleep winning
Personally I feel for the fans because I remember the period of time when Michael Schumacher was winning. I remember waking up in the morning to watch the start of the race and then going to sleep, and then waking up when it ended because I already knew what would happen. I am pretty sure a lot of people were doing that today
unique way drivers
I don't aspire to be like other drivers - I aspire to be unique in my own way.
balls problem late
If you don't have the balls to brake late, that's your problem.
trying proud needs
You just need to be accepted for who you are and be proud of who you are and that is what I'm trying to do.
thinking space racing
In racing there are always things you can learn, every single day. There is always space for improvement, and I think that applies to everything in life.
I take as much time as I need. I want to be fresh and smelling good.
I grew up going to the store, seeing the products [of L'Oréal ], seeing the commercials and the ambassadors. I never in a million years thought I'd be associated with them.
men thinking important
I think grooming is definitely undervalued by men. We all expect women to be fully groomed, which they do. But I also think it's just as important for a man to look fresh and clean.
people cinema bathroom
I can't go to the cinema. I go to the bathroom in a petrol station and people come in there for autographs. It's tough, but I knew that was going to be the case.
