What have you had since the last race on the Paul-Ricard circuit (July 17)?
At the start of the summer break, I stayed at home and did a lot of sport for a week. Then I went to the south of France. I travel a lot throughout the year. So I prefer to spend my month of August spending too much energy. To summarize this month, it was sea, sport and sun! I also stayed in touch with the engineers and the team, to ensure I was up to date with the latest developments.

Are you looking forward to going to Ordos, an unknown circuit for FIA GT1?
I don't know this track, but running there is the best way to highlight the fact that the championship has truly become globalized. And we will also be able to see how interested the Chinese are in this series. I hope we can fight up front, to continue building on the recent good results achieved with the car.

What are your hopes for the remainder of the 2011 season?
The objective is clear, continue to work and really try to score big points before the last round in San Luis (Argentina, editor's note).
