[2013] [Who would you rather punch? Sergio Pérez or Luca di Montezemolo?] I don't answer this one.

[2013] [Do you smoke?] Sometimes.

[2019, on Lewis Hamilton's comments that veganism is the "only way to truly save our planet"] Everyone tries to do their thing to help. But I guess as Formula 1 drivers, our starting point is not the best. I mean, we're here, burning fuel - and why? To decide who is first, second and third. It's a serious issue but I'm not sure we are the right ones, because if we were consistent then we would have to stay at home. Anyway, I think it's strange to talk about this issue on a race weekend.

[You first started a Formula 1 race at 21. What would you say to that 21 year old now?] Nothing. I wouldn't talk to him.

[The helmet has a special meaning for many drivers. How important is it to you?] It protects my head.
