I race to win. If I am on the bike or in a car it will always be the same.
I don't like being famous - it is like a prison. And driving for Ferrari would make it far worse.
I would have probably stolen cars - it would have given me the same adrenaline rush as racing.
If I test the car for a year I can be quite competitive the next season.
Riding a race bike is an art - a thing that you do because you feel something inside.
