I'm sure everyone has a cool story behind how they got into Formula One, but, for me, Perth, you know, not only in Australia is it detached, but it's detached from the whole world.
We do need an attitude of leadership in our government which demonstrates faith in major population centres outside of Perth.
Almost everything I operated was in Melbourne and Perth, but in the end, I just couldn't bear the thought of leaving. Sydney is my home.
I've been to Australia a couple of times, but never to the north or the centre. I would love to see Ayers Rock.
I've been very lucky because Perth has been very good to me. I've enjoyed my journey and met so many wonderful people.
I have visited Australia several times, and I always try to make a point of going to Melbourne because it's almost my favorite city there, Melbourne and Sydney. But I shouldn't say that because I haven't been everywhere-and I'm very fond of Perth too!
I love Perth. It is my home, and no matter where I am in the world, Perth is where my heart is.
I want to fight on home soil in Perth.
When I left school I went to Australia for a year and worked in the drama department of a school in Perth.
I was fascinated by racing as a kid, but no way would I have thought I'd make it into Formula One from here, from being from Perth, racing on little local go-kart tracks, you know.
Perth is not industry-heavy, so just figuring out how to get into the industry was tough. Eventually, I found out what a U.S. agent was, and so I got a U.S. agent.
I have a small family, but they are all still in Perth, and I am still very close with my high-school friends.
