Anyone who has the chance to drive for Ferrari will drive for Ferrari.
It is a dream since a child to drive for the red cars.
From GP3 to Formula 2, it's obviously a step, but it's only a step on driving I would say. Here from Formula 2 to Formula 1, it's a huge step on driving because we have nearly 400 BHP more, with a lot more downforce. So it's a completely different car.
It will always remain a dangerous sport.
As soon as I signed with Ferrari it was clear to me that people expected big performances from me. Even though people were realistic enough to see that I was only starting my second season and that I still had a lot to learn.
Every time a young driver comes into F1, the finger's pointed at him over his age. I don't think that's right.
You should be judged on your performances, not how long you've been around.
With less and less races people will want to take more risks.
The moment I prefer is the moment I put on the helmet, that everyone is leaving the pit lane, that I'm alone with the car and there it feels good. You don't have any feelings anymore; it's just racing and this I enjoy.
I believe what matters are facts and behaviours in our daily life rather than formal gestures.
Unfortunately I lost my father quite early, it changes you. It changes you forever.
Jules Bianchi was my racing godfather, and he spoke a lot to Ferrari about me.
There will always be some corners which are challenging and more dangerous than others.
The Spa-Francorchamps circuit has a special place in my heart.
I did not expect to have, at the end of my first season, seven poles and two wins. This is crazy. I did not expect it.
I did not have the simulator for a long time but now I have it I am playing quite a lot - probably five hours a day. I am training to try to be competitive, and everything we do we want to be competitive as drivers.
Formula 1 is such a big jump from Formula 2, and there are so many new things that you need to learn.
F1 weekends are full of things and any time that you have five minutes, you need to use it as well as possible to calm down.
Before arriving at Ferrari, I had no idea how important it is for a Formula 1 team to be successful to have a successful relationship with their fuel and lubricants partner.
What I have always liked about Italians is the way they are serious when they need to be but know how to relax and have a laugh, too.
