The bottom line is what we do might not be the safest so there is always some risk but we are ready to take that into account because we love racing and we love motor sports and it is dangerous.
I come from an ordinary family - my dad is a carpenter, a roof-maker - and we've always loved racing together.
When you walk the track and you see a corner and realise you were going round it at 160mph, you wonder who could be so stupid to take a corner at that speed. But in the car, you don't even think about that.
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.
