I had a lot of racism growing up where I grew up. Bullied at school. It definitely encouraged me. It's like battle wounds - you come out the other side, and it just makes you tougher.

When I was a kid and Christmas was coming up, my dad would ask me what I wanted, and I always said a motorbike. I kept asking for one, and he said it was too dangerous and bought me a go-kart instead.

I have so much energy. I train, I travel, I'm learning about music and fashion, reading a lot. I don't want to miss anything. I want to experience everything.

People need to remember that I am the first black driver in F1, so I am obviously going to be different to past drivers.

My life was very serious. I didn't have time for fantasy. I didn't watch movies or TV or anything else. It was always strict and business. I went to school. I did sports. I went to work. I joined the military.

It is well documented that I am a lifelong football fan. My love of the British game started with the 1966 World Cup.

I didn't really watch 'Dallas' growing up, as I was a bit young and into other things, like sports.

It is difficult to give time to develop projects in football. You buy the club, and you want the title after three months.
