I come from an ordinary family - my dad is a carpenter, a roof-maker - and we've always loved racing together.

Simply racing a Formula 1 car is an achievement.

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 have always watched the Race of Champions on TV every year and dreamed about participating one day. It's fantastic to be invited; I'm so happy. To represent Team Germany together with Michael Schumacher is a great honor.

You can't always say what you'd like to say.

I don't care too much what happened in the past. I prefer to focus on what is coming next and I am really looking forward to it.
