Cycling and golf are how I enjoy my time off. I think golf is a great sport for spending time outdoors with your friends and family, in the sunlight playing a sport that is mentally challenging, but physically not too much. Cycling is more for my fitness in racing. Apart from that, I hit the gym two to three times a week, and I try to see my family and friends, and spend quality time at home – just very normal stuff.

Outside of Spain, I've always felt very close to Italy. I grew up there, lived there while I was a Ferrari driver for four years and always loved the food. I really like Mexico too. I feel like I've always had a special connection to all my Mexican fans, especially after winning there last year. Last but not least, Japan is always super interesting to visit and see first person how different the cultures can be. It's one that I am curious to keep learning about.

On race day, I eat real and simple foods that I've tried before, and I know I can digest well. Morning is toast, half an avocado and three eggs, normally with an orange juice or a coffee. Lunch is always chicken and rice. By the time I get to dinner, I know I’m in a calorie deficit, so I can eat a bit more and will give myself a bit of a treat with a dessert or a ramen.
