Here is the interview:

1) – How started your passion by racing cars?
I started going to rental karting places and i was having fun since one day when I was 7 I got my first techno go kart in Barcelona and I started racing…

2) – In your opinion, what was the best moment in your career until now? Why?
For sure the best moment from my career was winning the f3 title last year at Donington because it was basically my first real and most popular championship in the world of motorsport that I ever won
3) – In your opinion, what was the worst moment in your career until now? Why?
I think the worst moment was in go karts when i crashed on the last corner of world champ in Suzuka (Japan), I finished 2nd thow but the race was lost.~
4) – What was the pilot (or pilots) that you like most to face in the tracks?
I think my team mate Oliver Turvey and Marcus Ericsson.

5) – In your career has been difficult to raise supports (sponsors, etc.)?
It is always difficult to find the money to continue racing but I think I’ve been quite lucky since i started car racing, I signed a contract with red bull since 05 to 2010 and I’ve been supported by manufactures like Repsol which is always a very good support for me, obviously if I don’t continue winning they will leave me for sure!

6) – What are the expectations that you have for your future? What is your main objective to your career? Formula 1 is the greatest objective?
My goal this season is for sure to win the World Series by Renault championship, I think this year is quite decisive for my racing career, we always need to be on the top 5-6 and at the end win the championship. My main objective for the future is to win the World title with Red Bull Racing or Scuderia Toro Rosso but more than that for sure is to be happy before all and have a family and enjoy my job!

7) – Can you leave a message for your fans?
HASTA LA VICTORIA
