Valtteri Bottas

For sure, some things have changed with the way I feel about things, like my mindset and everything. But you always learn every year about your mindset and what works for you.

In general, I like healthy foods. Everything that's natural and clean.

There were many things in my childhood I sacrificed: I started travelling quite young, compromising school in terms of learning and time with friends doing normal stuff as a kid you want to do. But obviously I wouldn't change a day.

During my childhood my family risked a lot financially. They put every single penny they could into my racing and also their free time was completely compromised.

I have found for me, and it should be the same for everybody, that it is easiest just to be how you are. Be the true you and there is no need to act differently. It has always been like that.

We need to make sure F1 stays the quickest category of all, and GP2 is not that far away, so that's a little bit worrying.

What we need to make sure we do as a team is build the quickest car on the grid - if we have the quickest car, we can do it!

Of course, there are races that have been boring but overall it's been really good so I'm not complaining.

I always wanted to be alongside a very quick teammate and tough teammate.

How many points, how many races you can win, how many times you be on the podium. That's the name of the game.

I focus on organic foods and I also don't eat any wheat or gluten.

I think I am very lucky to meet so many people and go to cool places and nice events. I am lucky to be in partnership with Hugo Boss and the team so I enjoy doing these events.

I always remind myself the only thing that matters is I perform on track and that's all I need to do.

Every time I jump in the car I feel very happy. Racing is what I love to do and I am very lucky I can do it.

With F1, it's really a combination of many things. You have to have good endurance, good strength in certain muscles, you need to be fast, have good reactions and good decisions. It's not as simple as one thing. You need to be a complete athlete.

You dream about winning since a kid and when you get that first win it took some time to realise it. But once I realised it, it was so cool.

I know when I am in the car I am always doing my best.

I know what level my skills are and what I am still yet to be capable of by getting better.

I can be nice - I don't need to be rude for no reason.

You never want to be behind your team-mate at the end of the year, that's definitely always going to be my goal.
