I've raced at the Hungaroring in Formula 3, and it's a bit of a Mickey Mouse track.
IF is a very long word in Formula One; in fact, IF is F1 spelled backwards.
When I was very little, my dad had his own go kart team as well while he was still in F1, so I always joined and riding through the paddock on my bicycle.
Barcelona is a special track. I have always loved the layout of the circuit, but also the atmosphere and the fans are special. It has always been good fun.
A race track is a place where windows clean people.
Every racing driver in the world dreams of making it to F1, there's only 22 spots on the grid.
I said it was my dream to drive in F1.
I was often in the pit lane, the noise was indescribable and I've no doubt that is why my hearing was affected.
F1 always feels unreal until you arrive and get your first seat.
Everybody has fallen asleep on the fact that F1 is dangerous. They all think it's a video game, and it's not. It is very, very dangerous, and it's tough.
The moment I prefer is the moment I put on the helmet, that everyone is leaving the pit lane, that I'm alone with the car and there it feels good. You don't have any feelings anymore; it's just racing and this I enjoy.
The Yas Marina circuit is really pretty impressive. The track itself has some quite slow corners and not a great deal of overtaking opportunities, but it seems to combine a road course with a circuit course.
This is motor racing, and things can change pretty quickly.
I would probably build somewhere between a half-mile and three-quarter-mile track. It would be sort of like Indianapolis Raceway Park. When I was a kid, that was my favorite track.
