There's a lot of things in Formula One that can stress you and it's important to have good family and good support from home as well. I'm really glad that I have that.

I have fans rooting for me, all the other drivers in the midfield have fans rooting for them, and they never get to see that driver fighting for wins. Of course it would be a lot better if you had a broader range of drivers who were in the fight for wins.

It's no secret that I live in Woking and I go to the MTC every day.

I focus on the team and I block out all the outside media stuff, because it's so irrelevant and uncontrollable.

I wouldn't say I am the most popular driver among the drivers, but I don't need to be. What matters to me is the results and what the stewards say.

In Malaysia, with my dad, the only time I really spent time with him was when we had dinner back at the hotel, in the room, just me and him. That was good, to have him there, just before going to bed, to have a chat.

One of the things that's really struck me at McLaren is just how much influence you have as a driver - I can test something in the simulator, or we can work on something in the cockpit, and they'll really listen to my input and, the next time you get in the sim, or the mock-up car, it's been changed at your recommendation.

I don't care what the other drivers think of me. They can say what they want.

Haas is a small, but a very efficient team - I am having a lot of fun!
