I just feel so confident when I get in my race car that I'm going to do good, I'm going to win, I'm going to outrun everybody.
I'm just a race car driver.
I have a real passion for driving. Earlier on in my life I wanted to be a race car driver. But I don't pay an extortionate amount of money for cars. I'm pretty frugal.
To be completely honest, I am obsessed with Formula 1 so in the off-season I would like to have just a few more races to still race in F1.
I've raced at the Hungaroring in Formula 3, and it's a bit of a Mickey Mouse track.
Ever since I was 7 years old, Formula 1 has been my career goal, so this opportunity is truly a dream come true.
I keep my weight low, although you need to be able to move your weight around the race car to change the balance. I'm 6ft and I'm 70kg so I haven't much fat on me.
My time in the World Rally Championship has been a useful stage in my career, but I can't deny the fact that my hunger for F1 has recently become overwhelming.
Since I was a child I've been looking up to Formula One. Dreaming to be a Formula One driver.
James Finch is exactly what I'm looking for, as far as getting back into the race car to have fun.
Around 16 years old, when I was in Formula 3 and looking at potential options for the future, that's when I realized that Formula One was in the picture. But to be honest, I really just took it year by year throughout my karting years and stuff.
After 10 weeks away from Formula One, when they started the engine here at Valencia and everything was vibrating, I found myself sitting in the RB7 and smiling.
TO be racing in Formula One with Mclaren has been the ultimate goal for me. It's a dream come true.
Racing is in my blood, I can't quite get out of it yet.
Honestly, I feel nobody can drive a race car better than I can. Driving-wise, I feel like I can out-drive anybody.
I think if you're a race car driver you want to succeed and be the best in your realm of racing.
I've driven for A. J. Foyt, now the Andrettis, and my NASCAR team is Richard Childress Racing, which is one of the greats in that sport.
The first Indy was definitely the one I remember. It's my favorite race I've ever done. It's the most memorable race I've ever done, for sure. Even more than when I won. I just remember everything about it.
My first memory of motor racing - I think it was just attending a go kart race.
We've always said that it doesn't say 'Daniel Ricciardo Racing' or 'Max Verstappen Racing' - it says Red Bull Racing.
I'm gonna be the best dad that ever lived. I'll have a ranch with a race car track and a golf course.
For me I'm a NASCAR driver, and I want to be able to win NASCAR championships.
In the rest of the world though, particularly in Europe, the most popular form of racing is not stock cars. It's not NASCAR. It doesn't look anything like NASCAR. It's Formula 1.
I am a racer. I'm not a race car driver. I am a racer. I race. That's what I do. I don't go on vacations. I don't take my family on vacations because I don't have a family. My family is the racing family.
We all are limited in that none of us can fly and none of us can run faster than some animals, but we figure out a way to go to Tokyo if we have to, right? Or we run faster than an animal with a race car.
