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.

If I could throw my phone away, I would probably do it. It's always on silent, and I don't like when it rings and people are calling. We could live without those things in the past when we just had a phone on the street somewhere, on the corner or at the house. I have no interest in telling all the people what I do every day and where I am.

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

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...

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

The helmet has a special meaning for many drivers. How important is it to you? - It protects my head.

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