He has a 10km run to clear his mind.
He added It s a great way of getting in touch with myself, my inner feelings ” understanding what I want to do.
Asked if he saw a therapist, the Mercedes driver said: I spoke to one woman years ago ” but that wasn t very helpful. I d like to find someone today.

He told The Sunday Times: I wouldn t be able to do what I do to the level I do it with that.
One of my best friends has just had a kid and I m seeing how manic it is.
And my nieces and nephew are a handful.

But right now I have some work to do.
