The best moment of your career
There were many good moments...hard to choose.

During my racing season in Switzerland, in between the racing seasons in Cape town, South Africa.
Do you return often to South Africa?
Every year.

My parents!

If you have a child, would you favor a possible career in motor-racing?
Whatever my child would desire to do, I would support it!
Have you a driver as a model?
Not really, but I respect Gilles Villeneuve and Ayrton Senna. Special characters!
Where and how did you start your passion in motor-racing?
My passion in motor-racing grew when watching F1 on TV when I was a little boy. I started karting when I was 13 years old in Switzerland.
You have been part of the Red Bull Junior Driver, one of the most important programs for youth talent. What are your memories of that experience?
Without Red Bull, I wouldn't be were I am today. They made it possible for me to start my Formula career!
Is there any choice in your career you wouldn't repeat?
I don't like to look back in the past, I believe everything happens for a reason, I am where I am today because this is my way. I learn from mistakes in the past, but I don't regret decisions, choices taken.
At the end of 2010 you will be happy if....
In this season I could demonstrate my potential and make some progress in my racing career!
