"All the other stuff i🦹s stuff I love less. Racing is what I love. Bei൲ng at Melbourne is going to be very reminiscent of my first grand prix there.”
The 40-year-old Briton said he will still be “pinching myself” as he prepares for his eagerly-anticipated race bow in Ferrari’s iconic red colours in M🍒elbourne.
"I'm now embarking on something brand new foওr me and something I didn't think wo𒁏uld happen when I turned 40," he added.
"I'm still pinching myself. Next week when I get to the race, I'm going to be starting a grand prix in red - wo♛w!
“I don'🃏t have the words to really expl𓆉ain how excited I am, just trying to stay cool and calm, but for sure arriving in red is going to be cool.”
