Lewis Hamilton

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.

I'm no less focused than any of my peers. They live a different life. They go home; they are not pictured at events. I train just as much as them, maybe more.

I don't believe I have a playboy life.

Sometimes, I arrive at races more energetic and clear-minded than ever, and then I have a terrible race. And the opposite is also true.

I'm just super competitive. Squash, tennis, water skiing, computer games... Even if I played you at pool, I'd have to win.

I would love to one day have my own line of clothes.

I like wearing things that other people wouldn't want to wear, to be a bit edgy.

Racing is very physical.

I genuinely have always had support from all of my team. I have never had any complaints from them.

I relate my life a lot to 'Cool Runnings,' the movie.

I certainly lead a different life from many people. I have a great life that I am thankful for, and I like travelling.

I like taking risks. I like trying new things, whether it be style or restaurants or whatever.

Equalising performance between teams runs completely counter to the idea of F1 and would be very unfair for us.

We have to be extremely fit to race in F1.

My job is to get into the car and drive as fast and as well as possible.

Lots of other drivers like cycling, but I'm not so keen. I have some really cool bikes, but I'm just not in love with it like Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso.

I feel equal to Mexicans, Asians, everyone. That's the kind of positive message I want to get out.

I'm definitely conscious of time. I already waste so much of it, just on a flight. I look back to when I was 13, and I wish I had stuck with my piano studies.

Working with kids is something I really enjoy doing - that's why I also do work with UNICEF.

When I'm driving, the fewer distractions there are, the better it is to focus on the job in hand.
