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.
brother games car
My brother and I are always playing F1 on the PlayStation and now I am going to be in one of those cars on the games!
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.
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.
