F1 Return: Racing First, Pressure Only From Within (Full Transcript)

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: I've seen it all in the sport basically. I've had the opportunity to win races, to win constructors' championships and being with great teams and being so many years in Formula 1. And now starting this one from zero basically, it's a great challenge.

[00:00:17] Speaker 2: What was it that flicked the switch to make you realise you do want to come back and you do still have the love?

[00:00:25] Speaker 1: Racing and the competition. That's the bit I love. There's a lot of things I didn't miss at all. Come on, which is the bit you really didn't miss? Photoshoots and the… The interviews. I didn't want to say that but yeah, the interviews and the amount of time you spend out of the car.

[00:00:48] Speaker 2: Do you feel the pressure? Are you feeling the pressure?

[00:00:52] Speaker 1: No, I'm feeling the motivation. The only pressure I feel is with myself. I want to make sure it's a successful comeback.

[00:00:58] Speaker 2: In terms of Cadillac as a US-based Formula 1 team, how much are you waving the Mexican flag and how much are you waving the US in that?

[00:01:09] Speaker 1: Well, I'm obviously 100% Mexican but obviously driving for an American team, it's also an honour and a privilege to represent the whole continent. I think it's going to be the favourite team, at least in my continent.
