After making some appearances in 2009, you have entered your first full season in the GP2 Main Series. What's your opinion after 3 races?
"The cars and the drivers are highly competitive, and it means that everything is more demanding and thrilling. Just think, usually the top-20 is covered by less than 1 second! The championship is great, but it's difficult too, and enables to build a valuable experience for the rest of a driver's career".

What is the biggest obstacles for a rookie driver in GP2?
"There are a lot of obstacles to overcome indeed. I found three kinds of difficulties. The first is having to work with two or three engineers together. The second is tire management over the entire weekend, particularly during the races, if you don't have a specific experience on that rubber. The third obstacle is race distance, which is longer than you can have experienced in any developmental championship".

What's the most impressive aspect of the Renault-powered GP2 Dallara?
"The car is exceptional under any aspect. The engine is really powerful, like brakes and aerodynamics."

What's your opinion about running in the same environment as F1?
"During the race weekends you don't feel like you're so close to Formula 1, because between the on-tracks sessions we have no time at all to see them run. It's interesting though, because you can build connections with the team managers of Formula 1 quite easily".

Now tell us more about your personality. What do you do when you're not racing?
"I work out in gym, play Five-a-Side soccer with my friends, go out biking, and work in a company that I started some years ago...".

Do you have a girlfriend or are you single?
"I have a girlfriend. She's with me on all the races".
