320 km/h on a German autobahn.

Q: Apart from driving, what else are you good at?
A: Nothing, really. But I do play a lot of tennis and golf.

Q: What was your most embarrassing moment?
A: The beginning of the season I didn't like it at all. I was really struggling. But there have been too many embarrassing moments - where do I start?

Q: Have you ever smoked?
A: Yes, but that was a long time ago. I quit because I didn't like it.

Q: Are drivers paid too much money?
A: No, I don't think so.

Q: Who do you admire outside racing?

Q: Do you like fast food?
A: If I can avoid it, I do.
