Quotes

  • Like a ship, a car should be named after a girl as it's sexy. My original car was called Kate. But then it got smashed at the opening race in Australia. So we called this one Kate's Dirty Sister because it is more aggressive and faster.
  • There is no reason not to be motivated. You cannot always be the best. But you can do your best.
  • When you walk the track and you see a corner and realize you were going round it at 160mph, you wonder who could be so stupid to take a corner at that speed. But in the car, you don't even think about that.
  • As a driver, your target is always to be with the most competitive team possible.
  • Never lift. Never stop believing.
