I know people fear me when they see me in their mirrors. It's a good position to be in because they know they need to defend to the limit. ”

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

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

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

I'm not very patient. ”

Having the chance to be able to fight for something really meaningful - races, championships - that's the absolute priority. ”

I was fascinated by racing as a kid, but no way would I have thought I'd make it into Formula One from here, from being from Perth, racing on little local go-kart tracks, you know. ”

I don't really cook much to be honest. ”

I've learned what F1 is like, and it is an extremely competitive sport on and off the track. ”

I'm in this sport to win but win by being the best, not by being lucky. ”
