To win both in the same year I think is an unbelievable achievement. I thought I would be able to do it in my career, but not so early. You think you're asking for too much for a championship. It's taken all the energy out of me.

In England, if you win the championship, that enables you to run the #1 the following year, and you do it because it somewhat takes the value of winning the championship away if you're not going to use the #1, ... That's how it's perceived certainly with the people I know in Europe. My intention would be to run it if I'm allowed. Certainly that's what I'm going to push for.

The nicest thing is that I'm going to be able to sleep now,

I'm not going to get too greedy. I won the one I wanted to win. If I don't win any more races, but win the championship, I'd be really happy with that. At the same time, that's not my style. I like to win.
