QA with Lucas diGrassi
Winning Macau with Manor Motorsport. It's great to be back with the old team
Career highlight?
Definitely the fight for the GP2 championship in '07. Me and Timo, neck and neck. He won though. I'm excited to be racing with him again in F1
Which of the other F1 drivers are you mates with?
Quite a few, but I spend a lot of time with Felipe Massa, Rubens Barrichello and Tonio Liuzzi
Top 3 circuits for 2010?
Monaco is every driver's dream race; it's amazing. Turkey is pretty challenging – the triple apex turn 8 is the highlight. Spa is one of the greats – long straights, high speed corners, low speed technical sections and loads of history
It's 12,000 kilometers (7,500 miles) to Bahrain from Brazil. What's your long-haul flight strategy?

What's your idea of the perfect road trip?
I'd like to do a lap around Brazil from the Amazon to the south
Listening to….?
Rock to Brazilian pop music and lots of different stuff in between
The best thing about your training program is…?
The results. If I know I'm staying fit I have no problem being motivated
Days of Thunder or Talledega Nights?
Talledega Nights is more fun, for sure
Who would you take into space on the Virgin Galactic space ship?
My father. He deserves it; he's done a lot for me and for Brazil. If I can have two more places I'd like to take my brothers as well please
Favorite movie?
Lord of War is pretty cool
Which famous person were you most excited to meet?
I guess Pele, as he's a legend back home in Brazil
