It was an easy choice to return with Lotus Renault GP as I have been impressed by the scope of the team's ambition.
When I did some Nascar races this year I noticed that I was increasingly missing the racing side, to race against each other, because in rallying you really race against the clock.
In rallying every curve, every hill may be different than you thought. That makes it interesting.
I'm delighted to be coming back to Formula 1 after a two-year break, and I'm grateful to Lotus Renault GP for offering me this opportunity.
I just love the American spirit of racing. It feels just great to get involved with that.
