Monaco is quite a specialist track, and it is very difficult to say if a car will be suited to it or not. It’s bumpy on the straights, and it’s a very low-grip surface. All these things mean that you never know what to expect. – Romain Grosjean
I have a great love for cuisine, so I’m always interested in local food, and there are so many interesting dishes, spices and ingredients in India. – Romain Grosjean
Montreal is different from Monaco, as there are some long straights and big braking moments. – Romain Grosjean
Monaco is a very special event in its own right, and the atmosphere is quite crazy! As a driver, you have to stay calm and relaxed and try to do your job. – Romain Grosjean
If I had to pick favourite parts of Interlagos, I would say the first and last corners. The first corner is really technical and punishes you if you get it wrong, while the last corner is so fast and really puts quite a strain on your body. As a driver, I really enjoy these corners. – Romain Grosjean
As a driver, you always want to be in the car getting as much experience as possible; especially when there’s something new like different tyres. – Romain Grosjean

I know I won’t be the first one to say this, but Suzuka is definitely my favourite circuit of the year. – Romain Grosjean

Singapore is a pretty special race with it being held at night; it makes a great show for the fans. – Romain Grosjean
Our regular fitness programme means that the race lasting longer than others should not be a problem, but something you have to prepare for in Singapore is ensuring you always keep well-hydrated, as the heat and humidity can easily dehydrate you. – Romain Grosjean
It’s a special feeling when you are blasting through the park along the Monza straights, and there are so many really enthusiastic fans there. I have to admit, though, it’s not only the racing I’m looking forward to, as Italian cuisine is superb. – Romain Grosjean
It’s always fantastic to be on the podium, and, of course, the top step is always our target. – Romain Grosjean
You never want to concede a place, but when you’re leading the race or fighting for a podium position, you can find ways to make your car very wide! – Romain Grosjean
I usually sleep ten to eight hours per night. I sometimes also have a nap in the afternoon. – Romain Grosjean
I like running. I am lucky for that; I don’t find it hard. I like it as much as relaxing, actually. I am very focused on driving, and I don’t like to party too much; that’s just who I am. – Romain Grosjean
Every track has its challenges, but Suzuka is a continuous test of a driver’s skills, and I think that’s what makes it so beautiful to drive. – Romain Grosjean

Sometimes the challenge of beating the jet lag and getting a decent sleep can be as hard to solve as finding the right setup for the car! – Romain Grosjean
I like Hockenheim because I’ve raced there quite a few times. In fact, one of my first single seater races was there in Formula Renault 1.6 in 2003. – Romain Grosjean
Silverstone is challenging, but it has a good feel. It’s one of the quickest tracks of the year, with legendary corners like the Magotts, Becketts, Chapel complex. – Romain Grosjean
