Resting For Me Is Fitness

I Think Fans Of The Sport Have A Good Understanding Now Of How Fit Formula One Drivers Need To Be.

When You're In A Car Which Can Win Every Race, Or Fight For A Win Every Race, That Is Pressure.

We All Drive Differently And Have Different Styles. For Me I Need A Car I Can Develop Beneath Me And Feel Comfortable In. If The Car Feels Neutral And Unbalanced It Doesn't Work For Me.

To Understand The Intensity Of Driving An F1 Car, You Have To Be In It. When You're Driving A 750hp Machine At 320km/h, The Noise And The Vibrations Are Incredible. The G-force When You Take Big Corners Is Like Someone Trying To Rip Your Head Off. You Hit The Brakes, And It Feels As If The Skin Is Being Pulled Off Your Body.

The Only Time I Think About Life Beyond F1 Is When I Contemplate Becoming A Dad. But There's No Way That's Going To Happen While I'm Still Racing. To Be Successful In F1 You Need To Be Very Selfish In Lots Of Ways And You're Away From Home For Long Periods. That's Not The Kind Of Father I Want To Be.
