    "The joy of being in the car is only there if you're fighting at the front, because you feel like you're achieving something," the 2009 world champion said.

    "If you're fighting near the back, you're driving an F1 car, but you can easily get joy driving something else. The joy you get is from competing. It's about the possibility of standing on top of the podium."

    Football

    Ferguson believes current United manager Louis van Gaal pulled off a masterstroke by appointing Ryan Giggs as his assistant at Manchester United.

    "Louis made a great choice because of Ryan's knowledge, his time at the club and his ability," said the Scot.

    "I think Ryan seems to enjoy that he is learning off a man with great experience. It's working.

    "There is good communication, Ryan's working very hard and picking up things from a foreign coach which is different from the way I operated so it looks as if it's going OK."
