I just want the best team-mate I can get. — © Nico Hulkenberg
I just want the best team-mate I can get.
Some people get on better with some than others but what is absolutely crucial is that everyone knows their roles and responsibilities and trust that your team-mate is going to do their best for the team.
All I'm after is a few square metres to be myself. A space where I can continue to profess my creed: take the ball, give it to a team-mate, my team-mate scores. It's called an assist, and it's my way of spreading happiness.
I don't want to just be part of a team, I want to help a team, and I don't want anyone to say I rode the bench to get a ring.
We're incredibly lucky and I get to work with my best mate - I don't know why I'd ever want to stop doing that really.
If I feel like I am being thrown under the bus, how am I supposed to get up and come for a party to enjoy the team's or team-mate's success?
I want a strong team-mate and one that is challenging me.
I just really just try to get better as a player every week, just focusing on the team we have to play this week, and just trying to do whatever is best for the team that week.
When you're playing a good team, not too many point guards want to go one on one. When you're playing a not-so-good team, teams that are fighting to make the playoffs, guys are going to want to try and get their own. It's just a different read of each team.
If we want the best pitcher, let's get Bobby Feller. If want the best football player, let's get Jimmy Brown; the best basketball player, let's get Bill Russell. If we want the guy who can do the best job for the United States - let's get Donald Trump.
Perhaps the toughest call for a coach is weighing what is best for an individual against what is best for the team. Keeping a player on the roster just because I liked him personally, or even because of his great contributions to the team in the past, when I felt some one else could do more for the team would be a disservice to the team's goals.
I think always in F1 the team mate is the first one you get compared to - which is normal.
I came from my hometown team, Real Sociedad, to the best team in England, to the best team in Spain, to the best team in Germany.
Cruyff was one of the best, he was my hero and my example. He was a star at the same time as George Best, fantastic to watch. I knew him later on, he became my trainer, my adviser, my team-mate, my opponent. It was easier for me to play with him than to speak to him.
I'm a fighter, I'm a winner, and I'm not interested in just battling my team-mate for the back of the grid.
You never want to be behind your team-mate at the end of the year, that's definitely always going to be my goal.
If my team isn't motivated, it's my fault. I can't consider myself the best of the best until my team is able to get out of the first round.
