We know - relationships in this sport, it's very hard to have a really great relationship.

Overtaking is nearly as fun as winning races. The rush you get from it is awesome.

I top up my endurance with running and cycling because in a race, your heart rate is up at 150, so we have to train at that level.

I'm sure there are some things I'm not good at.

Getting past my early 20s, I feel a bit more maturity and responsibility about that stuff. You get a good feeling from doing something good. You see a kid and you make his day, you realise the power of it. Whereas before, I was like, 'That's cool, whatever.' But now, that's what I'm most appreciative of.

Singing is definitely something I'm not good at. I wish I could be good at it, but that's a skill I definitely don't have.

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

As far as the outside things goes with Red Bull - I like the brand a lot, and obviously, I like the team a lot. We've always been a good fit for each other, so from that side, it's all been really good.

I signed a dog collar. Someone gave me their dog - a live dog - and I signed its collar. When they handed me the dog, I didn't know what to do. That was weird.

I enjoy being outdoors, hanging out with friends, and maybe snapping the neck off a couple of beers.

I like high speed corners, but with the F111, it is taking a little time to build up to that.

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

Formula One was just cool. I loved racing, all types of racing, but from a young age, Formula One was the noise and everything, and that's what I was drawn to. I already knew when I was younger, the coolest guys are in F1... not that NASCAR drivers aren't cool, but that was always what I had in my head!

Singapore is one of my favorite races, and the city is great.

The car is a big part of it, but you need to be a good driver to get the equipment to the top. You need both.

If I am going to race, I will put everything on the line.

I will be happier if I crash by trying than not trying and running around behind the same guy for 70 laps.

Being an F1 driver is a crazy job but not what everyone expects. My year consists of 20% driving and 80% media, marketing, and travel.

If I am putting myself out there and taking some of these risks, then I want to do it properly.

In Formula 1, you need a great level of endurance because the races are long, so you need a pretty good base endurance.

I used to go to work with Dad on the weekend. We'd drive past an indoor go-kart track every now and then, and we went there a few times. I was never tall enough, so I always left upset. I think I was seven when I was the right height, and I was like, 'Please let me have a go.' It was love at first sight.

People have seen now I am a racer, and I have big intentions in the sport, and I am prepared to get my shoulders out if I need to.

I love mountain-biking or any form of bikes, like dirt bikes; I love getting out there, although obviously I have to be careful.

For my family, it was quite emotional because it has always been a dream of mine to be in Formula 1. For them, to see it come true was quite a special feeling.

Because of my schedule and dietary requirements, I don't party a lot, but when I can let my hair down, I will; I think that's healthy. I love a weekend in Vegas.

When I came into Red Bull, everyone thought, 'He's just the happy, nice guy; he's fast, but he can't race hard with these top guys.' That was a reputation I had to dismiss.

The day I do get a championship-winning car, I will run with it. I will capitalise on every part of that beautiful thing.

The way I see it is if I can't be happy doing this job, which is my dream job, then what's going to make me happy in life?

2014 is a year I'll remember for a long time - it was definitely a breakthrough in my mind as well. Standing on the top step of the podium a few times was icing on the cake.

I feel like even if I was to, say, trip and fall over on the way to the car and scratch all my arm, by the time I got in the car, it would be blacked out in my head.

To get the Red Bull junior drive was like a massive pressure off... I didn't have to go around asking Mum and Dad to sell their house or ask friends for funding. The instant feeling was, 'Oh wow, amazing.'

I don't like letting anyone down. Not many people get satisfaction out of letting others down.

When you spend time working on something for a time period, and then it doesn't correlate, it decreases in your motivation.

Normally, if I don't qualify as well as I think I can, I seem to carry a little chip on my shoulder for the race, and that normally helps me out.

I'd prefer no practices and just Saturday, Sunday. Just qualify Saturday morning, race Saturday afternoon, and race again Sunday. Less laps of nonsense and more laps of meaningful business.

I feel '14 didn't just shape me and my approach from then on: it changed the level of overtaking from other guys in the sport as well. Not many people were doing that, coming from a long way back and trying big passing moves.

I've never really been too fussed about the kind of teammate I have.

People might call me a liar for this, but I want a fast teammate, I think for two reasons: it's always going to get more out of yourself, and it's always going to be a more true evaluation of where you stand.

If I win the title, I want to know I was the best guy that year, and to be the best, you've got to go against the best.

I like having as many team-mates as possible. It's great, because the more people you can learn off, the better I think it will make you as a driver.

When I joined Formula One, I knew that what I found is that the cars are so much faster, and it took me a little while to understand where to always put the car.

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

I would like it to be remembered; I would love to be World Champion one day and have my name on the list. That is the real dream - although I am sure it is the dream for pretty much all the Formula 1 drivers.

In World Series, everything is a bit slower than F1. But each time I sit in the car, whether it is World Series or F1, once I am in the cockpit, I am mentally prepared for what the car is. I don't have to physically drive it to remember what it is doing.

Every time I get in the car, I'm just focused on being the fastest, trying to win the race, trying to get pole.

I think, in general, the sport's frustrating because I think it's one of only a few sports in the world where you've got so many other variables. Not taking anything away from the winner, but the best man doesn't always win. I think part of that makes the sport really exciting, and part of it makes it heartbreaking.

Sometimes you have a bad day, and you're like, 'I'm over this, and I just want to play tennis,' or do another sport that doesn't require any other variables, but then you have a good day, and it's like, it's amazing, and the success makes up for it.

I try to wake up naturally but set an alarm so I don't sleep in too late.

I like a good protein and fat breakfast, so avocado, bacon, eggs, and some veggies.

I don't really cook much to be honest.
