That is not something that I wanted to ever experience.
Because that's horrible.
Because you go from king...
to getting fired and sent home and not wanted anymore because you're just not good enough anymore.

So I definitely want to avoid that.
And then, yeah, achieve the dream.

So I felt I couldn't do another year like that.
That was like, it's so damn extreme.
Every minute of breathing, you know, was around being the 110 best that I could be in every sense of the word to win the world championship.
And that's not sustainable to live life like that.
That was pretty extreme.
So I didn't really want to keep going like that either.

And it's unusual when you have your enemy within your own family, you know, it's like Prost and Senna.
Sorry, let me make sure not to compare to them because it's very different and I don't want to compare us to them because they are the greatest rivalry in the sport ever.

How long did they last?
I mean, they lasted two years and then they were done because it's just not an enjoyable situation internally.
