The red car, even before I knew it was called Ferrari, was my obsession.
Certainly driving a Ferrari is, at the same time, a dream come true, a huge responsibility and a great honor.
At first, when I arrived at Ferrari, I was very intimidated by all the people there, by Ferrari itsel. This name is the biggest in motorsports.
Before arriving at Ferrari, I had no idea how important it is for a Formula 1 team to be successful to have a successful relationship with their fuel and lubricants partner.
Jules Bianchi was my racing godfather, and he spoke a lot to Ferrari about me.
As soon as I signed with Ferrari it was clear to me that people expected big performances from me. Even though people were realistic enough to see that I was only starting my second season and that I still had a lot to learn.
Anyone who has the chance to drive for Ferrari will drive for Ferrari.
At the beginning, I didn't want to arrive at a big team like Ferrari and say: 'Ok, I want the car like this' - I just wanted to try and adapt to the car and then see if I wanted to make some changes.
I would love to drive a MotoGP but I'm not sure Ferrari agrees.
I get on well with Italians. Which makes things easier when I meet, for example, my future mechanics at Ferrari.
