Formula One applies stresses to the mind and body that are very extreme.
Robert Kubica
Nothing is impossible.
If I have luck and keep working and the puzzle comes together, maybe one day I will drive an F1 car.
I spent many years in Italy, I've lived just 5km away from the track and the Monza atmosphere is very special.
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.
You discover your brain is a powerful tool, something that is so powerful that sometimes you are surprised by the outcomes, how quickly it adapts to situations and how quickly you learn.
I think there is only one person who can judge what I can do behind the steering wheel - and that's myself.
For me, I have a chance to race in F1, a chance I did not think I would have.
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.
I always enjoy street circuits, especially Monaco, and I've always gone well there.
Sometimes in Formula One the fans are too far away from what is going on the track.
When you have raced for 20 years and one day you have to stop, it's not easy, especially when you are hit with big problems.
There is no medicine maybe for everything, but there is a big medicine which is downforce in an F1 car.
I have never been ready 100% even when I have been racing on my, let's say, gold times.
It will be a dream to come back to F1.
The 2008 season was very long and extremely hard - probably the toughest of my career.
It's true that driving an F1 car in testing is helpful, it's not that you learn everything.
My story shows never say never.
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.
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.
Often people forget motorsport is a sport.
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.
It's been a big challenge to get into F1.
KERS definitely helps on a straight when you want to overtake somebody who doesn't have the system.
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.
I didn't know if I would get the chance to return to F1.
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.
