On not seeing red lights in the pit lane…
If there’s a red light when you leave the pit lane you have to stop. Then some wooden eye (Hamilton) crashes into you and breaks the car.
On the media…
What the papers write about me afterwards makes me laugh.
Formula 1 would be a paradise without the media.

I wipe it so that I can see better.
What would you if you met an alien, run away out of fear or try to talk to him?
The problem won’t arise so I don’t imagine meeting one.
