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.
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.
I've been in motorsport my whole life since I was eight years of age.
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.
It's a big step coming from Caterham into the Sauber team.
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.
When I decided to stop as a racing driver in 2015, I knew I wanted to continue with the challenge of competitive motorsport.
