I'd like to thank the management at Force India for giving me the chance to return to Formula One as a team driver.

I've always enjoyed visiting India and we usually go to Mumbai or Delhi a few times during the season. It's a shame there is no race in India because it's a great facility and I always enjoyed racing there.

It is obviously always nice to start in a strong way, but it's also very important to keep that strength during the year - the season is quite long, from March to November.

You've got to distribute the tyre life over the stint, I think that's the main limiting factor, more than car balance.

To be honest, all my career I've been at one number, I have my fighting weight, my happy place and that's 78kgs.

Sometimes I think I'm a bit impatient, and a bit more patience would help me in some cases.

My first pole position is an emotional and hopefully historic moment as I want to be in F1 for many, many years.

Winning Le Mans didn't change my career, but it definitely gave me a boost.

Weight is crucial and it is very beneficial - if you have spare weight in Formula One that is powerful performance.

I'm in the factory a lot so I see how hard the guys work, but you never really know how quickly and effectively the other teams' development programmes are going until you get to the track. It's only then that we will be able to tell.

I can't lose any more weight. I would very much like to be 10cm shorter and 10kgs lighter. It would make my life a lot easier but it is what it is. What can I do?

Maybe in hindsight the move to Sauber - not to disregard that year - but maybe if I'd stayed at Force India, that could have been a change to my career.

The cars need to be louder so it goes through your skin and your stomach, like it used to be - and we need a bit more speed.

I have to do my homework, be fast and consistent. In that case I have always beaten my team-mates.

If I have a problem with somebody, I go ahead and say what's on my mind.

I believe that Renault can provide me with a competitive car in the future, and that's what a driver needs and what a driver is looking for.

Well you always have your favourites, and least favourites, I'm generally a cardio person, I love running that's what I enjoy the most from everything that I do, and swimming is the least favourite and the toughest for me because I'm not so good at it!

I love being at home! We travel a lot so I really enjoy being at home, having a lazy day on the couch, watch a couple of movies, meet friends, cook dinner, go to the cinema, play tennis.

For me I think the sport is as good as it is, I really personally miss the sound a lot of the old engines, the V8s, the V10s. That is personally my biggest regret or miss, what is lacking I think with the sensation of Formula 1, a lot of people associate also with that.
