guy champion world
Only one guy can be world champion, and so if everyone else thought they were failures you'd have no one left on the grid.
lack looked
We don't get groupies, well I don't see them, anyway. That was something that I always looked forward to and am constantly disappointed by the lack of!
absolutely cup extremely leave love monaco rest
I love driving at Monaco but the rest of it, well, I can absolutely take it or leave it. It's extremely pretentious and really not my cup of tea.
winning two track
Winning in Monaco is always special. That track has always been good to me. I won there in Formula 3000, battled for the victory with Williams in 2006 and now I've won two of the last three grands prix there.
term cockpit formulas
Formula one is very one-dimensional in terms of what we do in the cockpit.
responsibility racing mind
For me to train and get ready for racing, I can't just sit in the gym all the time and that's the way it is. Responsibility starts and stops with me. My main gig is grand prix driving, that's what I do and I need to keep that in the forefront of my mind.
thinking two racing
Sitting beside the pool is fine for two weeks, but after that I think it'd be quite hard to live with - so I need to keep racing.
running ice cycling
Cycling keeps me lean and I need to stay in shape, especially as I still like eating chocolate and ice-cream! I like to go mountain biking too. Running is also good; it's what we were designed to do as humans, so it comes naturally.
hate cooking age
I would love to be better at cooking but I hate cleaning up afterwards. I love the process of putting everything together and the chance of getting it right or wrong but it takes ten minutes to eat it and then ages to clean.
mother sleep abandoned-buildings
My mother and I took over abandoned buildings to sleep in.
umpires cry cases
The system is in place whereby if an umpire cries off, or both as was the case here, those umpires are to be replaced.
ipods effort lazy
When I'm driving I should make more of an effort with my iPod, but I'm too lazy to organise a playlist.
sports country hurt
When people in a country are being hurt, the issues are bigger than sport. Let's hope the right decision is made
running years wings
Red Bull are backing a spinal-injury research charity called Wings For Life, which I am an ambassador for, with a programme called Faces for Charity that will run at this year's British Grand Prix.
