00:00After last year, I think we kind of have no excuses, I guess.
00:04In the past, we've had our fair share, but honest and true excuses.
00:11I think this year, we kind of don't have any.
00:13We have nothing to hide behind.
00:14We proved last year we have everything we need
00:16and everything it takes to fight at the top and be the best.
00:21If we're not at the beginning of the season,
00:22then we're just not good enough.
00:24And we've not done a good enough job.
00:26But that's certainly not how we're thinking of things.
00:28That's not how our mentality's been.
00:29I know, coming into this season, that for a lot of people,
00:33I'm the favourite and that kind of thing.
00:35And as a team, we're the favourites.
00:36But I think I've said in some interviews over the last month or so,
00:41or a few weeks, that a lot of people think that pressure is a bad thing.
00:46But for me, it's really the opposite.
00:49It's a good thing.
00:51I've always done much better under pressure.
00:54I'm able to think and to focus much more under pressure.
00:57So everyone has their own way of doing things.
00:59And I've said that many times.
01:00But I still get nervous and I feel pressure.
01:04And I know it's there.
01:05But my best performances have often come when that is around.
