We have a lot of people in F1 who went through F3, and it is a point where you can show what you've got.
The first time I used a simulator was in 2014 when I was competing in the Ginetta Junior Championship.
If I have luck and keep working and the puzzle comes together, maybe one day I will drive an F1 car.
I feel 100% a Yamaha rider in my heart. I had a long career and raced with several factory bikes, but the highlight of my career is undoubtedly with Yamaha.
I was really into motocross. I started racing when I was 10 years old and did very, very well. That was my dream, if anything, more than drumming.
I'm loving my role as a McLaren Young Driver, spending time in the simulator at the McLaren Technology Centre and attending some Grands Prix with the team.
I won Formula Four. I went to New Zealand and won the Toyota Racing Series. I won the F3 European championship in 2016.
It's been my dream to race in F1 since I was eight. I don't see why that should change just because I've changed. It's a big challenge but I like to push myself. The accident has toughened me up and made me realise what's important. It's spurred me on to get to F1.
If the award comes with a check, then I want that award. But if it doesn't come with a check, then I'm not that interested. I'd much rather join NASCAR and get a trophy and a check.
That was my dream, to drive for Ferrari, but I am not a kid any more. If Ferrari is the best team and if I get the chance to drive for Ferrari, it would be with pleasure.
The McLaren prizes can only help me in my quest to ultimately reach Formula One.
Schumacher has made his final stop three times.
I remember back in the early '70s, when I had a disastrous Grand Prix, my wife, Lynn, said to me, 'Don't worry, you're going to be a late boomer.' That's what she said to me, and I've always held that thought.
During my childhood my family risked a lot financially. They put every single penny they could into my racing and also their free time was completely compromised.
When you do everything you can to be an F1 driver and suddenly it stops, it's not painful but it's definitely not something you were looking for.
My time in the World Rally Championship has been a useful stage in my career, but I can't deny the fact that my hunger for F1 has recently become overwhelming.
And here comes Mika Hakkinen, double world champion twice over.
Since I was a child I've been looking up to Formula One. Dreaming to be a Formula One driver.
It was always a dream for me to come to Jordan. Of course I want to be back in Formula One.
A mediocre season for Nelson Piquet as he is now known and always has been.
I still have my life outside of Formula One. It has always been the same.
Around 16 years old, when I was in Formula 3 and looking at potential options for the future, that's when I realized that Formula One was in the picture. But to be honest, I really just took it year by year throughout my karting years and stuff.
I definitely wasn't anything special when I first started but I think I adapted quite quickly into racing and it became a bit better slowly. All of cadets, the first four years of karting, I only won one proper race, one! Which was the British Open Championship at PFI and I started 21st and I won.
I will continue to get behind the wheel of a racing car as long as I am able. But that could all end tomorrow.
My last race was at Le Mans in 2000, my first race was in 1959, so I dodged a lot of bullets along the way, I can tell you that.
