In the week before a race, I try to stay away from germ areas. I keep disinfectant wipes in my bag for when I have to use a supermarket trolley or something like that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I save the race for the race and I don't let it all out in practice.
I'm a clean freak and a germaphobe - I have hand sanitizer in my pocket.
We need to always be vigilant on the sanitary issues.
I race in two or three classic races a year and I may carry on for 10 more years or I may stop tomorrow.
You're safer in the race car than you are in cars going to and from the track.
I'm a germ-phobe when I meet a lot of people or shake a lot of hands. I always have hand sanitizer and alcohol swabs so I can sort of go back and forth between the two.
There's no getting away from it: you have to clean.
When you start hiding things away, that's when the darkness creeps up. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
I'm a little bit phobic about stains on my clothes, so I never travel without a little packet of organic stain remover.
I'm kind of a germ freak. When I get on a plane, I spray my seat and everything with Lysol Disinfectant Spray.
