Wisdom worth sharing, words worth remembering.
For me triathlons were something that was down to me and my fitness. Now I really enjoy the pain in the triathlon of chasing someone down. It's a bit like chasing down Nico Rosberg in the last few laps at Silverstone – it makes you feel alive.
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.
Resting for me is fitness training.
When I'm on my own I can be negative. I need my friends and family around to help pick me up if I've had a bad qualifying session. I think insecurity plagues a lot of sportspeople.
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.
In my hometown there is a pub named after me – The Frome Flyer on Jenson Avenue. How cool is that?!
You're pulling 4-5G for a lot of the corners around the lap. We build up lactic acid because there are a lot of vibrations in the car and you have to have strong legs to hit the brake pedal. We need to be fit to do every lap at 100%.
I keep my weight low although you need to be able to move your weight around the race car to change the balance. I'm 6ft and I'm 70kg so I haven't much fat on me.
In the car and in front of the camera I tend to be very calm but behind the scenes I can get fired up and passionate I just don't see the need to shout my mouth off in public.
I don't purposely speed but I might go over by five or six miles an hour from time to time. It doesn't give me a buzz driving on normal roads because I can't go fast enough. It's never going to be anything like an F1 car.
I need to develop a car and engineer a car in a position that feels comfortable for me and I don't think anyone can do a better job than I can in that position. The problem for me is if I can't get the car there I do struggle more than some.
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.
