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.

Im winning races, Im still challenging for the world championships, the team is fantastic and I have a great relationship with everybody here - so why would I want to even consider changing?

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.

Ha, some days ago the same people were one hundred per cent sure that I'd signed for Red Bull! So much for that.

I just love the American spirit of racing. It feels just great to get involved with that.

You don’t drive races on paper.
