Nico Hulkenberg

I think very clearly the philosophy is to build a competitive and very quick car!

Renault has always been a big player in the motorsport world that brings up incredible memories.

I've always enjoyed visiting India and we usually go to Mumbai or Delhi a few times during the season. It's a shame there is no race in India because it's a great facility and I always enjoyed racing there.

Maybe in hindsight the move to Sauber - not to disregard that year - but maybe if I'd stayed at Force India, that could have been a change to my career.

Winning Le Mans didn't change my career, but it definitely gave me a boost.

I find it interesting as every year people say the midfield is as tight as ever but it is always tight, it is always competitive. I've pretty much spent my entire career in the midfield so I know about it!

To be honest, all my career I've been at one number, I have my fighting weight, my happy place and that's 78kgs.

Weight is crucial and it is very beneficial - if you have spare weight in Formula One that is powerful performance.

It is obviously always nice to start in a strong way, but it's also very important to keep that strength during the year - the season is quite long, from March to November.

I am happy to come back to Sahara Force India.

Of course it's a nice challenge to compete against a grand prix winner.

It's very difficult to predict a team's competitiveness.
