We have a lot of people in F1 who went through F3, and it is a point where you can show what you've got.
I've raced at the Hungaroring in Formula 3, and it's a bit of a Mickey Mouse track.
I'm loving my role as a McLaren Young Driver, spending time in the simulator at the McLaren Technology Centre and attending some Grands Prix with the team.
The McLaren prizes can only help me in my quest to ultimately reach Formula One.
The track in Abu Dhabi is special; this will be our third Grand Prix there.
There is always going to be competition from other countries and different venues who want to host a race, but the British GP is a must have.
We need to make sure F1 stays the quickest category of all, and GP2 is not that far away, so that's a little bit worrying.
Nigel Mansell is the last person in the race apart from the five in front of him
Honestly, I think they need to work to improve the categories. If the driver goes from the go-kart to F3 one year and then to F1, why do we have GP3, GP2?
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.
In the rest of the world though, particularly in Europe, the most popular form of racing is not stock cars. It's not NASCAR. It doesn't look anything like NASCAR. It's Formula 1.
If a no-deal Brexit would happen like has been discussed, I think we would have a major impact in terms of our operations going to the races and getting our cars developed and ready.
Just competing in the Brazilian GP is a dream for all Brazilian racing drivers. I remember sitting in the grandstands when I was a kid, watching Ayrton Senna, Nelson Piquet and even Rubens Barrichello. After that, to race there in Formula One is a feeling that is hard to explain.
Every NASCAR driver watches Formula One in the morning; they are well informed.
I can't imagine voluntarily standing beside an F1 track in the rain, watching motorised wedges plastered in corporate decals zooming past at 500mph.
If you haven't really raced a lot in lower categories, and you make the jump to Formula One, you have to learn in Formula One, and a lot more people are watching.
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.
Jean Todt's system will never succeed, not even with Michael Schumacher.
However I am looking forward to the two new Grands Prixs both Shanghai and Laguna Seca are fantastic tracks and it will be good to race at them.
Winning in Monaco is always special. That track has always been good to me. I won there in Formula 3000, battled for the victory with Williams in 2006 and now I've won two of the last three grands prix there.
Quite frankly, Kimi Raikkonen is the fastest driver in the world
It's not as if there's a noise problem, because they use the same circuits as Formula One.
It's a big step coming from Caterham into the Sauber team.
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.
Formula 1 will always have high and strong investment. Who can't make these investments will race in other series.
