But then he or she will not be ready for Formula 1 in six or seven years, haha. I definitely want children and if they want to race, that’s fine. I do think I would do it differently than how my father and I did it. I don’t really see that way at the moment. But for me it’s easy to talk because I don’t have kids. Maybe I will think very differently when the time comes. But the passion he had went very far. He did everything for me. Tuning engines, preparing karts. I don’t see myself doing that. In any case, I’m not going to push my kids to race. They have to want it themselves. And if you do go all out for it with your son or daughter, I don’t think you can drive Formula 1 yourself anymore. You have to start laying the foundation from the age of four. I want to be there myself.
