I think life is full of challenges and problems. I don't believe that anyone is perfect. We all make mistakes. It's not a bed of roses, and you have to work real hard at it.

Young people are so positive and have an answer for everything.

Motor racing is 99 per cent downs and one per cent ups. It's a huge challenge, as there are so many things that can go wrong.

Ayrton was our toughest rival. He would leave no stone unturned to get the utmost out of his car and his team.

The format of the race weekend is also very well thought out. We have enough practice time to get the cars well set-up and have a proper qualifying session where we can do as many laps as we like, which is great for the drivers and spectators.

The first race is really just something that we will all need to get through. Until people see the cars in action I don't think they will understand how quick they will be, which means they are going to be tiring to drive.

An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way.

It is hard to separate the art from the artist.

The art of losing isn't hard to master; so many things seem filled with the intent to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Life is like art. You have to work hard to keep it simple and still have meaning.

I've always had a 'Work hard, play hard' attitude to life - I still do - but sometimes you get involved in something that needs a calm, methodical approach.

I just focus on what I can control, and that's how hard I play and my attitude.
