I used to watch MotoGP quite a bit, I liked MotoGP. I had a motorbike before I had a go-kart and before I had a motorbike I had a quad bike but I was too dangerous, and before I did quad biking I did horse riding, so it's been a long journey.
I don't purposely speed, but I might go over by five or six miles an hour from time to time. It doesn't give me a buzz driving on normal roads, because I can't go fast enough. It's never going to be anything like an F1 car.
I grew up in a culture of motorbikes. So I like racing just fine. Quite a lot, actually. That was when I was a boy in Australia. And I never really made the jump to cars after that.
I am focused on racing. I enjoy it. It's a great feeling to be back fighting for the title.
My father instilled in me a love for racing.
I'm a car fanatic and each morning I wake up with a smile on my face, whether I'm commentating on the Formula One or at Silver Hatch racetrack in Roary the Racing Car.
I get asked all the time 'didn't you ever want to be a race car driver?' And I knew pretty early on that I was going to be on the other side of that equation.
I've had an interest in racing all my life, or longer really.
My friend is a former race car driver, so he races for Mercedes, and I root for him. I have a car that I love to race, I'll take it to the track.
It's just part of my DNA. I love racing.
Of course, when I can get an Indy Car or Champ Car race on television, I never miss the opportunity.
Growing up, I was always a big fan of Jeff Gordon.
I've always been kind of a speed demon.
I'm a pro-horserace guy.
I race in two or three classic races a year and I may carry on for 10 more years or I may stop tomorrow.
I was much too late when I found out about my passion for motor racing. I was 18.
I race historic muscle cars back in Australia, and that's my hobby. And I try to race home as soon as I've finished a movie but don't tell anyone.
If somebody asks me to choose a biopic, it would be Narain Karthikeyan because I love racing.
What I like about it is that I'm not somebody who's in movies. I'm a guy who's not very good going around the track with a bunch of guys who are a hell of a lot better.
