“There is no secret, once we go to qualifying, we all seem to enjoy it. Qualifying is all about putting everything that you have and that the car has in one lap. It's like a rush, I really enjoy that.”

Simply racing a Formula 1 car is an achievement.
I come from an ordinary family - my dad is a carpenter, a roof-maker - and we've always loved racing together.
I remember my first test in F1. After five laps, I came back to the pits and tried to play it cool - 'Oh yeah, I'm fine, I'm on top of this' - but I was completely lost.
All in all it was a smooth race, the car was very well balanced. I'm very proud to be the first winner here in India.
