would-be mechanic drivers
I thought I would be a go-kart mechanic - not an F1 driver
believe fighting championship
This is a fantastic fight for the championship. I'm really confident and believe we can do it.
weekend winning belgium
I will be going to Belgium to win -- and we will see how the weekend develops from there.
race japan korea
When I race in Australia or Korea or Japan I know it will be a big change for me because Ferrari fans are worldwide.
zero nice team
Creating a top team and being in a position to win the Tour de France will give me a nice feeling. But I know it is not easy to create a top team from zero. You need good riders, good staff, a lot of preparation and, most important, a lot of sponsors.
two parent magic
My parents are responsible for the two things I like doing most - driving and magic tricks. They bought me my first go-kart and a magician's kit.
stressed-out lasts firsts
I have always been very calm on the outside. I'm not too stressed now just because I'm in formula one. For me, tomorrow will be another day whether I finish first or last. I have to do the maximum and I cannot ask any more from myself.
believe fate people
I don't have any relationship with God and I've never wanted it. I don't believe in fate or in any superior entity; if a plane crashes and people die, it's not because Heaven said so.
giving feelings special
Ferrari gives you a special feeling.
team winning world
If you're in the best team in the world, you or your teammate have to win.
lap meant mistake result session
A pretty disappointing result for me really. I made a mistake on my first timed lap at the end of the session and that meant I had to do another one.
definitely good race won
I know he won the race, but he didn't look too good did he after the race? You definitely need liquids in the race and before the race, too.
aiming fantastic points start win
I have scored 18 points in two races, which is a fantastic start to the season. I am aiming to win in Melbourne.
good starting surprised
I'm surprised he was on the podium because he was starting from the back. I thought Jenson (Button) was third. I think he did a good from where he was starting.
