Hardest thing I'll probably do in my life, I think, business-wise, is to drive this race car well.

Don't mess up.
I'm going to mess up.
I'm going to mess up.
During the qualifying lap, yeah?
Where you have to be 100% focused.
So the mind is going in and out from being super intensely focused
To try to drift you out, take you out of that all the time with the fear.
So it's like bouncing in and out.
And I don't know how.
I mean, fortunately, I'm gifted with a great natural talent.
But somehow, even in that mental state... And let's remember, I worked so hard mentally.
So...
If I wouldn't have done that, I would have been much worse.
So I've done all this preparation so that in the craziest high pressure moments, my mind was 10% calmer, 10% more focused, 10% better performing,
than if I wouldn't have done all that crazy work for 10 years.
Would you have won the world championship?
