It looks like I've got like a... Is it...

I've got spikes on my head, but for some reason... I mean, there's quite a stomach on that guy.

I know.

I did have one when I was younger.

I did have a bit of a stomach.

I'll tell you what it was.

It was a lot of making people understand because at the time there was so much noise around...

first of all, how much people think I sucked and why I, you know, shouldn't be in Formula One and all these kind of things.

And the amount of opinions that were going out and around and stuff like that.

And through one of the most difficult times of my entire life, just trying to show people that, look, you know, it was just, it was my dream to do this.

And that's basically where it goes back to.

And just, you know, you don't have to be, I wasn't going to say, stop telling, you know, stop writing all these crazy things, but it's kind of just like,

maybe just lay off the heat a little bit while I'm going through this crazy time because that's all I wanted to do.

Yeah, that's it.

Just a dude that wanted to race cars.

A kid with a dream.

First season, yeah.

First year of racing.

And your dad going, I don't think you're good enough for this.

Well, he would tell me, I'd come in basically and be like, dude, dad, the kart sucks.
