“When I finished the juniors I felt, perhaps for about a year and a half, that everything was going to be the same and that I would be able to go out there and win any match. But it wasn't the case.

“I have been waiting to win a world championship since 1985. I've had three cracks at a world title - in karting, I finished third at Le Mans; that hurt because it was very close, but then in Formula One there wasn't really an opportunity to finally crack it, so it's third time lucky.” WorldHas BeensThreeOpportunityWinningWaitingHurtLuckyThirdsFinishedTitlesCracksFormulasChampionshipFormula OneThird Time Author:Allan McNish
