It was an easy choice to return with Lotus Renault GP as I have been impressed by the scope of the team's ambition.

Formula 1 would be a paradise without the media.

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.

Where I went off, you can get back on the track by going through the support race pitlane, but you have to go through a gate. I know this as I did the same thing in 2001 and the gate was open that year. Somebody closed it this time. Next year, I'll make sure it's open again...

My time in the World Rally Championship has been a useful stage in my career, but I can't deny the fact that my hunger for F1 has recently become overwhelming.

Driving is the only thing I love about F1.

I’m not interested in what people think about me. I’m not Michael Schumacher.
