Valtteri Bottas

During my childhood my family risked a lot financially. They put every single penny they could into my racing and also their free time was completely compromised.

In sport, and especially in this sport, the confidence you get from the results is a massive help.

In general, I like healthy foods. Everything that's natural and clean.

I know what level my skills are and what I am still yet to be capable of by getting better.

You dream about winning since a kid and when you get that first win it took some time to realise it. But once I realised it, it was so cool.

I have plenty of good people around me I can talk to and for me it's the man in the mirror that gives the answers if I have hard times or if I doubt.

It was when I first tried a go-kart in '96. I saw a go-kart race locally, and that got me excited about it, and I wanted to try one. When I got to try one, I just loved the speed and after that it became more about how to improve the lap time and all the details and that.

I honestly think the reason I've been able to improve year by year is work. Work with the team, work with my ability, focus on all the single details.

Every year you learn as a person, about yourself, what works for you and what doesn't.

If you work hard it's only a matter of time before things start to go right.

My goals in the future is to not just be in Formula 1. I want to be really successful, World Champion, though I guess this is like everyone! But that is what I'm targeting.
