Reproduced with the kind permission from BBC Sport.

The season has ended and although there were some good points, I'm not really happy about it.

I finished seventh overall, with one of the highlights being my second place in the Japanese Grand Prix. But next year I need to be better. Better prepared both physically and mentally.

I should have enough experience next year to fight for good positions and now we must work hard to make sure it happens.

SEASON REVIEW

In neither of the last two races were we able to show the full potential of the Renault car.

We had the pace in dry and wet conditions, but in both races the qualifying simply was not good enough and that set us back.

I don't think we quite nailed the set-up in the practice sessions. In both cases I made little mistakes that if you want to win the championship you shouldn't make.
