If one's honest about it, spending time in a car with children is pretty ghastly.

I lived on the top of one hill and the school was at the top of another hill. Nobody ever went to school by car - we didn't have any cars during the war. So that to and from school was itself a training.

It's a tricky place, especially the last sector. I wasn't happy in practice. I wasn't happy with the car and I wasn't happy with myself. But I always thought there was more in the car.

Qualifying is all about putting everything that you have and that the car has in one lap. It's like a rush, I really enjoy that.

All in all it was a smooth race, the car was very well balanced. I'm very proud to be the first winner here in India.
