When I did some NASKAR races this year I noticed that I was increasingly missing the racing side - to race against each other - because in rallying you really race against the clock.

In rallying every curve, every hill may be different than you thought. That makes it interesting.

Formula 1 would be a paradise without the media.

Do you have any ambitions outside racing? My main ambition at the moment, whether inside or outside racing, is to become Formula 1 World Champion.

Be yourself. If you try to be someone else, it won't work. Whatever you do, you are not going to make everyone happy.

I'm delighted to be coming back to Formula 1 after a two-year break, and I'm grateful to Lotus Renault GP for offering me this opportunity.

I'm happy, but there's nothing to jump around about.
