It's very shocking for me to see pictures from my win here in 2008. I aged.
I put everything in that last lap, it was very emotional when I crossed the line. It was all I had, I gave it all.
Whenever I have to do something, I try to minimise the time it takes me to do it. I just cannot wait.
The bottom line is what we do might not be the safest so there is always some risk but we are ready to take that into account because we love racing and we love motor sports and it is dangerous.
The next stage of Sebastian Vettel Formula One career will be spent with Scuderia Ferrari and for Sebastian Vettel Scuderia Ferrari means the dream of a lifetime has come true, When I was a kid, Michael Schumacher in the red car was my greatest idol and now it 's an incredible honor to finally get the chance to drive a Ferrari.
As a driver, your target is always to be with the most competitive team possible.
There are some things that you can fulfil with money, but at the end of the day these are not the things that make you happy. It is the small things that make life good.
I don't care what other people think as long as I am happy. The day I die or retire, I have blown all my chances because I don't have the chance any more to change my image as an F1 driver.
Qualifying is all about putting everything that you have and that the car has in one lap. It's like a rush, I really enjoy that.
I told you guys... don't stop believing.
If the boat started shaking, we stayed on course and didn't lose focus. That made the difference.
Like a ship, a car should be named after a girl as it's sexy. My original car was called Kate. But then it got smashed at the opening race in Australia. So we called this one Kate's Dirty Sister because it is more aggressive and faster.
I remember my first test in F1. After five laps, I came back to the pits and tried to play it cool - 'Oh yeah, I'm fine, I'm on top of this' - but I was completely lost.
Sometimes you need to press pause to let everything sink in.
