My accident - 15 centimetres right and nothing would have happened; 10 centimetres left and I would not be here.

Using KERS and the adjustable front wing is not particularly difficult. Once you've worked out where to use KERS to optimum effect at each track, and in which places you adjust the front wing, it happens pretty much automatically.

Often people forget motorsport is a sport.

When you do everything you can to be an F1 driver and suddenly it stops, it's not painful but it's definitely not something you were looking for.

KERS definitely helps on a straight when you want to overtake somebody who doesn't have the system.

For me, I have a chance to race in F1, a chance I did not think I would have.

I think there is only one person who can judge what I can do behind the steering wheel - and that's myself.

I had a great opportunity to be an F1 driver but, on the other hand, I have a great opportunity to become a rally driver with a very good programme.

Sometimes in Formula One the fans are too far away from what is going on the track.

Nothing is impossible.

I always said that I took a lot energy, a lot of time for me to recover and come back to the sport and join back in F1, but I would like to stay.

It's been a big challenge to get into F1.

There is no medicine maybe for everything, but there is a big medicine which is downforce in an F1 car.

The 2008 season was very long and extremely hard - probably the toughest of my career.

I don't think KERS will change the overall picture - the gaps between the teams won't get any bigger. And I don't expect more overtaking, especially not under braking. The braking distances of modern F1 cars are just too short to make a big difference.

Driving on gravel is very demanding. There are lots of movements on the steering wheel which put a lot of stress on my arm and my hand.

If you cannot have the thing you want, you want the thing you have.

When you cannot have steak, either you eat egg or you don't eat. So, in the end, you eat egg and you enjoy it.

In December 2005 I had a very good opportunity to test Renault's world championship-winning car at Barcelona, and after 30 laps I was setting really good times, so I know what it's like to drive a really good car.

In order to become a complete driver I believe that rallying will give me extra bits, because of gravel, because of different characteristics.

When you get to an F1 car and after one lap you see the pace is there, it is special emotions and I miss it so much.

Unfortunately in motorsport, accidents can happen.

Silverstone is normally quite a tricky place for the set-up and for finding a good balance, because you have a big difference between the low-speed and high speed corners, and there are not really any medium-speed corners in between.

I don't know what it will bring, but definitely it's a nice feeling to know I can drive an F1 car after such a difficult period and having my limitations.

Basically, it is always good for a team if both drivers are very quick.

Whenever I jump into the car I always try to do my best.

You have to first of all feel good with yourself before doing something which requires being fast or driving a racing car.

The price for winning is not the same for your life.

When you cannot have something, you make what you have work.

I think I've done a lot and I've proven myself.

Every single rally is a different character.

Poland is my home country but in go-karts, Formula Renault and Formula 3, I always raced for Italian teams and spent over a year living close to Monza, so this whole area holds good memories for me.

Spa is quite different to all the other circuits we run at because, although we use lower downforce levels similar to Canada, this circuit has many more high-speed corners.

If you've led the championship after seven races you should be fighting for the title.

You gain nothing from giving up.

I drive like my body and my limitations leave me to do it. After my accident, I discovered that to do a roundabout in the road car, you don't have to grab the steering wheel, you can use friction to turn.

We have seen a tendency for cars running the f-duct to use higher downforce levels than normal, because they can stall the rear wing and still generate good top speed.

Things can change very quickly in Formula 1.

It is not that I lost my biggest passion - it is still racing.

We can forget how motorsport can be dangerous.

It is one thing to drive a Formula 1 car, and it is another thing to actually race it.

In a rally car when you put a 20 kg spare wheel in a car which is weighing 1,300 kg, you feel it.

As always, testing can only give you ideas on where you are. And it can also mislead you.

I don't know what the future will bring.

There have been many races in the past that I have won and not been happy, and other times when I finished maybe eighth but was really happy with my driving.

You know if you have driven well or not, but sometimes because of the car or package you simply cannot do any more.

I'm quite honest and demanding of myself so if I can achieve satisfaction from the job I did, I will be happy.

If you have more downforce, everything becomes much easier. Drivers drive better, engineers they have more room for setup, the tyres are working better because you switch them on earlier and you have less degradation.

It's obvious that any new show comes with its share of blunders, misfires, and bad choices.

I will always demand the right for theatre to talk about anything and anyone. Without exception. None.
