I never enjoyed school and I was never that good at school so leaving wasn't the biggest thing, but the social aspect of school, leaving your friends, you lose contact with them a bit and now I have more friends at the race track than the friends I keep in touch with at school.
I'm a fighter, I'm a winner, and I'm not interested in just battling my team-mate for the back of the grid.
Confidence is always a good thing to have going into the weekend. Especially where it's quite difficult to put the lap together.
I think Weetabix and full-fat milk is what it is all about.
I probably work harder, putting in a lot of time and effort, than a lot of drivers because all I think about, and all I do, is to do with racing, trying to make myself a better driver.
Having the support from everyone, the bosses, whoever within the team, definitely makes it much easier for me as a driver.
I am absolutely my own biggest critic.
I don't think there's any point going for second or third.
I kind of look up to Lewis, not as a hero, but as a very good driver who is very fast. Everyone has to admire his pace, especially in qualifying. He is a driver I support, in terms of him being British, and I want him to win, but he isn't an idol to me.
I started off with sim driving, playing 'Gran Turismo,' and my Dad had some sort of Logitech steering wheel with pedals for the PlayStation 2.
There's definitely going to be things that I'm not very good at, things I can improve.
Even though I had won in other categories, I didn't have any expectations when I came into F1. Qualifying fifth, finishing sixth? I didn't expect it.
Of course it would be nice for everybody and myself if we could win but we can still have a personal or a team win if we achieve a target that is effectively a win for us.
I will be unhappy if I know I have not accomplished something I should have done that was possible.
I can't remember what made my dad take us karting for the first time, I can't remember really. I was into motorsport by then and I knew everything, and every driver, it was around 2009, 2008. That's when I first properly knew about Formula One. Those were the days.
Well, it's looks like I've a love-hate thing going on with Monaco.
I used to watch some F1 races but I was never straightaway thinking 'that is what I want to do.'
You can only get to a certain point when you feel confident with the simulator and it always changes when you get to the track and you actually drive it for real for the first time.
In testing, you make a mistake, you just say 'OK we'll have another go' instead of it being the only chance you get.
The biggest difference in the wet between F2 and F1 is that there's so much more power in F1 as being on the throttle earlier has a bigger advantage.
