We have a lot of people in F1 who went through F3, and it is a point where you can show what you've got.
Juan Fangio was the great man of racing, whilst Stirling Moss was the epitome of a racing driver.
I think as a team we do OK with this because we are new and we need the drivers so we appreciate more if they do good for us than an established team, because you know it all and you know this environment here, it's like 'it cannot be me, it must be the driver'.
As has been the case with Sebastian Vettel, Daniil Kvyat, Daniel Ricciardo, Max Verstappen, we're always going to draw upon the talent pool we have.
If you go back many years ago, you could cruise around and build up a big point lead. You cannot cruise around at all. You gotta be on it. And that's what I think people really enjoy. I've always believed that brings out the biggest moments, too. It brings out the driver talent.
I'd rather have a driver that was like that, that had that passion and that fire in his belly and you can channel that. The sport's crying out for more drivers like Max Verstappen.
I think that's a very good point they're bringing into Formula One at the moment, to get rid of all the electronics. And I think that's what a Formula One driver needs. That's why they are a Formula One driver. They need to drive themselves.
People say that F1 is blessed with the 'best drivers in the world,' but I want to witness the 'total best drivers in the world,' and this means taking away the elements that make their job easier.
Formula One is not just multinationals. It's also about national players wanting to get global coverage.
It makes great conversation to discuss what's wrong with open-wheel racing today.
Technology has certainly reduced performance differences among drivers. Whereas a talented driver could get a half-second out of every lap in the past, nowadays talent makes up for only about one or two tenths of a second. But the driver is still the key factor.
A race driver needs to be quick, to be intelligent, to have good relationships and be in the right place at the right time. There are a lot of factors that would create a successful race driver.
You tend to think that there is a big gap between F1 and everything else. F1 is where all the fantastic drivers are, so you just don't know how good you are until you get there.
I'm no different from other drivers - my talent is in my brain, not in my right foot.
Experience is always a plus, but I believe if you are good enough for an F1 seat, you are good enough from the year you arrive in F1.
Basically, it is always good for a team if both drivers are very quick.
If there's 10,000 little boys racing around the world and there's only 10 girls, best case 100, the numbers are stacked massively against us. If you don't increase the talent pool of young girls, you're not going to get the best drivers at the top.
