When I'm in good form there are chances that rivals will worry more about you more than you about them.

If all you're trying to do is essentially the same thing as your rivals, then it's unlikely that you'll be very successful.

I'm very competitive by nature. And I like to be the underdog - It's the best way to win. To come from behind and win is a great feeling!

Of course, rivals do affect athletes mentally, but if you are competing with top-notch athletes, you will push each other, you will encourage each other.

It's not good to focus on one person or two persons about being your rivals. The important thing is just to train hard and be ready for the competition and to prepare for the races so that in case of anything that comes out, you are able to handle it.

You've got to be closer to the edge than ever to win. That means sometimes you go over the edge, and I don't mean driving, either.

You've got to be confident when you're competing. You've got to be a beast.

I don't speak English, so I'll just have to win the trust and confidence of the fans with my performance on the field.

If I play my best, I can win anywhere in the world against anybody.

Well, the biggest rival I had in my career was me.
