The competition for World Cup places is massive, and you can't just rest on what you've done in the past or anything like that.
The Russian Vitaly Petrov I feel was the worst newcomer and the worst driver.
It's my dream to help Guinea reach the World Cup at least once.
I just missed out on qualifying for the Sydney Olympics in 2000.
I'm a racing driver and I need to race, that's what I do.
There is no secret, once we go to qualifying, we all seem to enjoy it. Qualifying is all about putting everything that you have and that the car has in one lap. It's like a rush, I really enjoy that.
The Daytona 500 is a big race, and Darlington is just as big of an event, and a lot of people get excited for it.
It always has been a goal of mine to compete in the Olympics. Right after I graduated from college, I moved out to Salt Lake City with my mind focused on making the 2014 team.
I think one of the important things around tournaments and qualifying tournaments is the jeopardy around it.
I'm ambitious, I want to play in the Champions League, and that's the aim with Tottenham - to start qualifying for the Champions League on a consistent basis.
I've always been attracted to cars, and driving is a completely measurable experience: if you qualify last on the grid, you're the slowest, and if you qualify first on the grid, you're the fastest. So no one can say you're slow if you're fast and no one can say you're fast if you're slow.
You want to see how many races you can win, you want to see how many laps you can lead.
I guess if you're not going to win the championship, you're better off taking the opportunity to win a Brickyard or a Daytona 500 than you are to make the Chase and then fizzle out.
Sometimes it's better to come through from, say, last to eighth than staying eighth, and you've qualified eighth!
When Jimmie Johnson goes out early and finishes 35th, as he did Sunday, he can look at the cameras, lament about it being a tough day, and then say, 'We'll just try to get them next week at Darlington.'
You do a period of go-karting until you're at the age of qualifying for a ride in a 'school-kart,' then you qualify for driving school. And several of the driving schools have a competition series for their own students.
One of my greatest pleasures in motor racing is qualifying. You have loads of freedom from pushing a lap the whole way. I've always been very good in qualifying in the past; everything I've done, I've got pole positions.
I am one of the best to have raced in F1. I am probably not fastest in qualifying, or the wet, but I am 9.5 in all areas. I try to benefit from that.
Formula 1 is about running to the maximum.
I always thought, it would be neat to make the Olympic team.
I think I've done a fair bit of my talking on the track over the course of the years, leading up to Formula One and Formula One.
It's a great feeling to earn a place in the Olympics.
I want to be in the playoffs.
I am going to miss that time when you take that corner better than anybody else could have taken it on that lap or you do that great qualifying lap or you make that great pass or you bring a crippled car home.
F1 weekends are full of things and any time that you have five minutes, you need to use it as well as possible to calm down.
