caused decision regret
I regret the difficulties my decision has caused everyone involved.
car good hopefully quite race smiling sure
I know I'm smiling but it is only qualifying. Tomorrow's the important day and hopefully we have quite a good car for the race and I'm sure we've made enough improvements.
achieve affinity enormous goal hope number particular pride race winning
I have no particular affinity with any number -- other than one of course, which I hope to race with enormous pride when I achieve my goal of winning the world championship,
car good happy second
I'm very happy with the car and it's good to be on the second row,
happy tough weekend
I'm very happy with that as it's been a tough weekend for me,
closest looks pace proved quick rivals though
These two have proved how quick Renault is. The pace of the Renaults is very good. At the moment, it looks as though we are their closest rivals but we are not on their pace. Hopefully, we will not let them get away.
car speed force
The fast, flowing parts, the high-speed corners, that's where a Formula One car is at its best - changes of direction, pulling high g-forces left and right.
baby champion world
I'm world champion, baby!
play needs six-months
If someone was making a movie about F1 in the last six months, they wouldn't need to add a Hollywood ending. If they do make that movie, it's got to be 'The Curious Case Of ,' where I've lived my life backwards. I'd like Johnny Depp to play me but he wouldn't be quite right.
selfish race careers
When it comes to my racing career I'm very driven and very selfish. People who are around me at races will know that I'm a different person here than in my personal life. I completely blank people at races. I need to be focused. I'm rude.
jobs struggle thinking
I need to develop a car and engineer a car in a position that feels comfortable for me, and I don't think anyone can do a better job than I can in that position. The problem for me is if I can't get the car there I do struggle more than some.
uplifting fun ocean
I like old tunes when I'm driving. They're fun and uplifting. Billy Ocean, that kind of thing.
running fun regret
I haven't got the yacht any more. The cost of running it was crazy. But it was so much fun while I had it. I don't regret it.
mustache trying moustache
My 'Movember' moustache was never going to be as big as Nigel Mansell's, but I tried my best. The amazing thing is that when you try to grow a moustache, you notice everyone else's. There are some amazing moustaches on the grid.
