Really excited about racing in Brazil - Grosjean
The Renault Formula One Team prepares for this weekend’s Brazilian Grand Prix in Sao Paulo. The Interlagos Circuit will be a new experience for rookie driver Romain Grosjean and so the youngster is really looking forward to the new challenge.
"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."
