It was always a dream for me to come to Jordan. Of course I want to be back in Formula One.
After karting in Venezuela, I came to Europe in 1998 to compete in international kart races, which was great for me to get experience racing outside my country. After consistently being at the top, I decided to move to Italian Formula Renault.
I've been in motorsport my whole life since I was eight years of age.
Williams has a long history of nurturing young drivers at the start of their F1 careers.
I saw Lotus F1 racing as the best choice for me to progress my career, after considering several other options that were available to me.
It's a big step coming from Caterham into the Sauber team.
Already in go-karts, I said, 'OK, that's what I really want to do professionally as a career, as a job.'
I'm a fan of motorsport and a fan of McLaren and I was lucky to work with the company on a small scale across my career but to be able to race now with that brand on my jersey, it's pretty special. I still have to rein in my fanboy attitude sometimes.
When I decided to stop as a racing driver in 2015, I knew I wanted to continue with the challenge of competitive motorsport.
If I don't get a race deal then I expect to be a test driver for a top team.
I obviously hope that I can continue my career with McLaren but that might not be possible and if it isn't possible then I need to continue racing.
My big break came at 22 years old when I joined the Mercedes Benz touring championship team.
