Light Quotes
-

The happiness he gives, is quite as great as if it cost a fortune.

In Formula 1, the neck is really important. There's a lot of force that's going to your head. We also have a helmet and it's not that light.

To be able to maintain your head in a straight position - especially around the corners and while braking - you need to have strong neck. To train that, it's difficult.
