unique way drivers
I don't aspire to be like other drivers - I aspire to be unique in my own way.
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.
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.
crush
I want to crush everyone. I want to outsmart everyone.
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.
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.
During the race, we lose 2-4 kilos of liquids.
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.
I take as much time as I need. I want to be fresh and smelling good.
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.
