And that was my diet for the rest of my time in Formula One. I basically had to give up carbs all year round; I’d often fast before a race. And I’m about average for a driver. Sebastian Vettel and Nico Rosberg are lighter – they don’t struggle so much. Me and Lewis are roughly the same, around eleven stone, no carbs for us. The likes of Nico Hülkenberg and Mark Webber, being bigger – a whopping eleven stone nine in the case of Mark – used to really struggle.
