It was an easy choice to return with Lotus Renault GP as I have been impressed by the scope of the team's ambition.

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 Nascar 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.

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

We have been unlucky in some races. It is still a good car, very quick. We just need to make sure to get rid of the little problems.

I missed it and I guess he ran a little wider and hit it so it was unfortunate for him and the team, but in the end I don't think it would have made any difference to the championship.
