00:04I mean, I know that drivers probably at the time think,

00:07oh, who cares about that?

00:08Well, when you're young, being 40 or retired or whatever

00:12is so far off that you're not bothered.

00:14And there is, to some degree, the statistics speak to themselves.

00:19So if you win eight world titles, you're the gracious racing driver.

00:23And how you got there might be overlooked.

00:24But I genuinely think that the way in which something is done will stay with you.

00:32The greats have got a legacy that is unblemished.

00:37You want to choose someone whose results are not blemished

00:40by some sort of controversial approach.

00:46And I think that's worth considering.

00:48But that's just the way I look at it.

00:50Some people think that they're setting a new standard, a new benchmark,

00:55and maybe everyone will end up driving that way in the future.
