I really enjoyed moving onto the bigger circuits and the bigger cars…

A school-mate of mine, Matthew Hinton, had a go-kart…

Watching F1 in the 1980s invariably meant getting up late at night because of the time difference…

“I closed the gap to Romain, but he drove very well, without any mistakes. It’s very difficult to pass here – even with two DRS zones – and I tried various tactics, but couldn’t find a way through. Still, I’m happy to finish on the podium in front of the American fans for the last time – in Formula One anyway.”

“I got boxed in and didn’t get a good exit off the corner, but after that it was a strong race,” said Mark. “I have some family and friends here this weekend, so it’s good to get a strong result.”

“Sometimes you’re happy and think you’ve given your best, but today it slipped through the fingers,” said Mark after qualifying. “Well done to Seb, he put the three sectors together and I put two and a half together. I just dropped it in the last sector and it’s not satisfying when you do that, but I’m still pretty happy with second.”

“I want to end my F1 career on a high, which means getting podiums,” said Mark. “I feel like I’m driving well at the moment, so let’s see what Sunday brings.”
