Romain Grosjean: “Interlagos will be a great experience”

Romain looks forward to his first Brazilian Grand Prix.

Romain, after five races, how are you finding life in Formula One?
I’m just as happy as I was when I made my debut in Valencia in August. Being a Formula One driver has always been my dream and each time I get in the car still feels very special.

Interlagos will be another new experience – are you looking forward to it?
Yes, I’m really excited about racing in Brazil and I don’t want the season to end. Interlagos is probably not the easiest circuit, but it’s a famous track and driving there will be a great experience for me.

How do you prepare for a new circuit?
There are two aspects to my preparation for Brazil. Firstly, because Interlagos is anti-clockwise, I have done lots of training, especially on my neck, to prepare for the physical demands of the track. Also, as I have never driven there before, I have been watching lots of videos to learn the circuit layout. I plan to arrive in Sao Paulo at the start of the week so I can walk the track and experience it for myself.

What are your aims for the weekend?
My objectives are to continue learning about Formula One and to gain experience so that I can improve and be as close to Fernando as possible. Hopefully I can have a trouble-free race, the car will be competitive, and I can score some points for the team.
