I've decided to retire from top class racing. It has been an incredible experience and has provided with me some unforgettable moments.

Once I decided to retire from bikes, there was no thought to go racing again. I wanted to have a full year off and maybe even see the world a bit.

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

From today I am no longer a racing driver. I'm retired and I am very happy.

I've been in motorsport my whole life since I was eight years of age.

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've always known there's more to life than just racing for a long time.

I quit driving, I'm not retired.

I wasn't driven. I just really loved what I did.

The years I raced in were fantastic. There was so much change in the cars. We went from treaded tyres to no wings right through to slicks to enormous wings.
