I'm still a Red Bull driver. I'm part of this family more than ever.
Newman and I were friends. We were great teammates, and he needs to check his trophy case on that Daytona 500 trophy I helped him get years ago.
It was an easy choice to return with Lotus Renault GP as I have been impressed by the scope of the team's ambition.
I am grateful to Penske Racing for six very productive years. Together we won a lot of races - 16 in all. I'm proud that we won on a variety of tracks.
We have a very long-standing relationship with Renault, we've won a lot of races with them.
It's an opportunity of a lifetime to be teamed up with (Kevin) Harvick, with Tony (Stewart), Danica (Patrick). Us four in the same meetings, it could be hell or could be great. I'm just kidding about the hell part.
I'm with McLaren, I'm contracted to McLaren. They might wish to continue, they might not, but before they take a decision I can't really do anything. So I'm patiently waiting for them.
I have always had deep respect for Sam Schmidt Motorsports and couldn't be happier in partnering with Sam.
I really want to thank Red Bull Racing and Dr. Helmut Marko for the confidence they have in me.
Mercedes and Ferrari are working as one team these days. Sometimes it is difficult to tell which is which.
Being married has helped my racing.
