I used to watch MotoGP quite a bit, I liked MotoGP. I had a motorbike before I had a go-kart and before I had a motorbike I had a quad bike but I was too dangerous, and before I did quad biking I did horse riding, so it's been a long journey.
I don't purposely speed, but I might go over by five or six miles an hour from time to time. It doesn't give me a buzz driving on normal roads, because I can't go fast enough. It's never going to be anything like an F1 car.
I grew up in a culture of motorbikes. So I like racing just fine. Quite a lot, actually. That was when I was a boy in Australia. And I never really made the jump to cars after that.
I am focused on racing. I enjoy it. It's a great feeling to be back fighting for the title.
My father instilled in me a love for racing.
I get asked all the time 'didn't you ever want to be a race car driver?' And I knew pretty early on that I was going to be on the other side of that equation.
I'm a car fanatic and each morning I wake up with a smile on my face, whether I'm commentating on the Formula One or at Silver Hatch racetrack in Roary the Racing Car.
I've had an interest in racing all my life, or longer really.
My friend is a former race car driver, so he races for Mercedes, and I root for him. I have a car that I love to race, I'll take it to the track.
It's just part of my DNA. I love racing.
Growing up, I was always a big fan of Jeff Gordon.
Of course, when I can get an Indy Car or Champ Car race on television, I never miss the opportunity.
I've always been kind of a speed demon.
I'm a pro-horserace guy.
I race in two or three classic races a year and I may carry on for 10 more years or I may stop tomorrow.
I was much too late when I found out about my passion for motor racing. I was 18.
I race historic muscle cars back in Australia, and that's my hobby. And I try to race home as soon as I've finished a movie but don't tell anyone.
If somebody asks me to choose a biopic, it would be Narain Karthikeyan because I love racing.
What I like about it is that I'm not somebody who's in movies. I'm a guy who's not very good going around the track with a bunch of guys who are a hell of a lot better.
