Ive just got to do a good job and stay on in Formula One for as long as I can.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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