“We always kept believing in ourselves and our team and the car.”

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.
I don't care what other people think as long as I am happy. The day I die or retire, I have blown all my chances because I don't have the chance any more to change my image as an F1 driver.
