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.
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.
car trying world
I enjoy trying to develop a car and Mercedes are one of the biggest car manufacturers in the world.
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.
sports successful people
Normally, racing drivers come from a long line of previous successful sports people.
crush
I want to crush everyone. I want to outsmart everyone.
dream kids helping
I always thought, if I can affect one kid and help him or her fulfil their dreams, that would be kinda neat, so I want to ensure that I'm remembered in a good way.
mean people ask-me
When people ask me that, I say I don't want to be remembered. It means I'm no longer around.
blessed winning driving
I feel like I've been blessed with the ability to do what I do and I guess, I ultimately want to be remembered for being an out-and-out racer; just driving at the seat of my pants and doing it the right way and winning for the right reasons. The right values.
mean thinking knowing

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.
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.
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.
knowing giving car
Nothing can really prepare you for when you get in the Formula One car. Knowing that you're driving a multimillion-dollar car, and if you crash it it's going to cost a lot of money, and they might not give you another chance, is scary.
