These two have proved how quick Renault is. The pace of the Renaults is very good. At the moment, it looks as though we are their closest rivals but we are not on their pace. Hopefully, we will not let them get away.

Alonso has a very fast car at the moment. His car is still in front of mine, so me and my team need to work hard in the next several races before we can be equally competitive with Renault.

Fernando is a good driver and he's been very consistent in 2005. It's been great to see somebody other than Michael fighting for the championship and I just wish it was me.

My school reports always used to point out that my concentration levels were appalling. I never listened in class because I was always daydreaming about racing. I never thought for a moment about doing anything else. There was no guarantee that I'd make a career in it but I never had any plan B.

I think fans of the sport have a good understanding now of how fit Formula One drivers need to be.

Yeah, I'm the Brit who isn't Lewis Hamilton that woke up and realised he was good. I got that tag because I was young, flying around in jets and driving fast cars. I always took my driving seriously, but I suppose I enjoyed life... But I'm not a playboy.
