I want to find a team that can give me a competitive car to win many more races and challenge for the championship.

If you are a great guy with your competitors, with your colleagues, it is always good, even on the race track and off it.

Many Formula One races last two hours, are really boring and nothing happens.

My year with Ferrari was of incredible value to me. I learned a lot about all the technical aspects of the car and also how to improve my work with the engineers.

That is something you can never explain, it is part of all sporting life. Anybody can have a bad day and they can have many good days.

Mercedes for me is the strongest team.

I'm just a normal person.

To have a home Grand Prix is awesome, so just to go there is already a buzz.

You're never perfect in this sport; there is always something to learn.

I train five-and-a-half out of seven days and do a combination of exercise.

I had a very successful 2014, but I have got to keep aiming for bigger and better things, so the world title is my goal.

I'm the most ripped guy on the grid, let's just say that.

I would love to do a one-off race somewhere - NASCAR would be awesome.

I try to send out a good message - I sometimes get asked for advice for leaving home and trying to 'make it' overseas. I would always say think long term, and think bigger picture: make the sacrifice.

I feel I am promoting the sport well in Australia with what I'm doing on an international level.

I'm very competitive. If I have to 'turn it on,' I know how to. The switch isn't hard to find, don't worry.

I was addicted to going fast, finding the big hills on the pushbike. It was just something I enjoyed a lot - things with wheels.

Dale Earnhardt was kind of a hero of mine.

I loved a lot of motorsports, but as far as the ovals go, I was more into NASCAR.

I know that I'll joke around to the last minute I get in the car. But once the helmet's on - it's sort of a cliche, but it's true - it's quite symbolic that that is 'go time,' and I'm ready to have some fun and be bad while I do it.

It's easy to get into the competition of F1, and you are never going to win every race even though you want to. So when you're not winning, you want to win, so you're not that happy. But you have to look at the big perspective, and I am very fortunate to be one of 22 in the world to do this.

I love coming to America to race. Maybe that's because I'm a big fan of NASCAR as well.

When you're young, the temptation is maybe to think, 'More is more.' But a lot of the time less is more.

I think once you get into the routine of race weekends, and there's more of a structure, it gets a bit easier.
