Racing a thoroughbred grand prix car in front of a home crowd will be a surreal and mighty experience.

Alain will do everything in his power to win, he doesn't like getting beaten by anyone and least of all me.

The preparation, commitment and desire to win will be no less than the last time I drove a grand prix car in anger.

The format of the race weekend is also very well thought out. We have enough practice time to get the cars well set-up and have a proper qualifying session where we can do as many laps as we like, which is great for the drivers and spectators.

Everything in Formula 1 has been sterilised now, the whole thing is controlled too much.

I've tried everything other than jumping out of a plane, but nothing gives you an adrenaline rush like racing a car.

I consider myself one of a very small handful of drivers in the world that are top drivers. The best one? I don't think anybody can say they're the best one because, from one week to the next, you can be on form or off form a little bit.
