I'm World Champion, Baby!

A Lot Of People Think Formula One Isn't A Sport Because Everyone Drives A Car When They Go To Work In The Morning. But We're Pulling Up To Six G On A Corner Or During Breaking, Which Is Almost Like Being A Fighter Pilot. So We Have To Do A Lot Of Work On Our Neck Muscles.

My School Reports Always Used To Point Out That My Concentration Levels Were Appalling. I Never Listened In Class Because I Was Always Daydreaming About Racing. I Never Thought For A Moment About Doing Anything Else. There Was No Guarantee That I'd Make A Career In It But I Never Had Any Plan B.

To Understand The Intensity Of Driving An F1 Car, You Have To Be In It. When You're Driving A 750hp Machine At 320km/h, The Noise And The Vibrations Are Incredible. The G-force When You Take Big Corners Is Like Someone Trying To Rip Your Head Off. You Hit The Brakes, And It Feels As If The Skin Is Being Pulled Off Your Body.

If I Run I Lose So Much Weight, Which I Need Because You're Limited On Weight When You Are A Tall Driver. And Have You Seen Marathon Runners? They're Quite Skinny.

You Look Back And You Remember The Good, The Bad And The Ugly
