DR was definitely the front man but we needed a guy that was there 24-7 for the team and not doing other bits and pieces as well. Nick is doing a fantastic job, for me everyone is a lot closer. There is definitely a good spirit.

I always think I should try to get to bed early, but then I can't stop myself from watching telly and fiddling around on the net.

A lot of people think Formula One isn't a sport because everyone drives a car when they go to work in the morning. But we're pulling up to six G on a corner or during breaking, which is almost like being a fighter pilot. So we have to do a lot of work on our neck muscles.

I think social networks are really working for the drivers, because we're able to talk directly to fans and they get first-hand information. And I think it's great for the partners as well and the businesses that are involved in Formula One.

I can't eat whatever I want, definitely not. I'm always controlled because I do a lot of fitness and triathlons, not just Formula One, so I always make sure I eat the right things.

I think fans of the sport have a good understanding now of how fit Formula One drivers need to be.
