I love working on cars.

I enjoy trying to develop a car and Mercedes are one of the biggest car manufacturers in the world.

I've always loved fast vehicles and looking at interesting cars.

I've always had a fascination with cars and racing, not that I've ever competed.

It turns out that if you optimize the performance of a car and of an airplane, they are very far away in terms of mechanical features. So you can make a flying car. But they are not very good planes, and they are not very good cars.

I did a little bit of flying in high school, but I've just always been inspired and excited about airplanes.

So much of my life is spent just focused on driving race cars.

When I started flying, I realized how enjoyable it was, and flying became my main focus while engineering went on the back burner.

Perhaps I'd like to design cars, but I don't think I'd be much good at it.

I think, aesthetically, car design is so interesting - the dashboards, the steering wheels, and the beauty of the mechanics. I don't know how any of it works, I don't want to know, but it's inspirational.
