![]() What did you know about your teammate before this season? Jules: I knew him from Formula 3 in 2009. So it was not really new for me to be with him. I know he is very quick and a bit younger than me, but I knew it would be a bit tough for me to have him in the same team this year. Esteban: We know each other since 2009. He has more experience and for me it is a pleasure to be his teammate because it’s good to have him as a reference because he is quick. I hope I can learn a lot from him. What are each other’s strong points? Jules: On track he is very quick especially in the slow corners. I can learn a lot from him. It helps me to improve even if it’s his first season, he is a good reference. Esteban: Jules is very quick on one lap. Basically, it is a very important point with the Pirelli tyres. Plus, Jules is very consistent. He has a good pace. Any weaknesses? Jules: It’s difficult to say you know... I don’t know. Esteban: My experience probably. Jules: Yes, probably. Esteban: Sometimes, Jules may be pushing a bit too much. (Both laugh) Who is always the last one to get to the track? Esteban: Me. Jules: Yes, I win that one easily. (Both laugh) Jules: This morning, we said we would leave at 9:30 and at 9:50 I was still waiting for him. Esteban: I like to take my time... Who is the wildest one on and off the track? Esteban: I have to say... No Jules, you have to say it yourself! Jules: Do you mean I am the wildest? (Both laugh) Jules: Okay, maybe me... Esteban: I am the wildest off the track, but I cannot tell you why! Who is the most successful with the ladies? Jules: I think it’s me. Esteban: Yes, I think it’s Jules... Anyway, we don’t know because I have a girlfriend and he doesn’t. Jules: It’s been a tough year for me (Laughs)! Are you superstitious? Jules: Yes. I always use the same underwear during a meeting. Esteban: Really?! Jules: Yeah, it’s over there, you can see it. It’s the blue thing. But they don’t seem to be working that well this weekend. I should change them (Laughs)! I started doing that in Formula 3. It seemed to be working pretty well back them. This year, not so much! (Both laugh) Esteban: I don’t have that type of superstition. Who will have the best car in ten years time? Jules: It depends on our career of course... Who will have the most beautiful wife in ten years time? (After the longest pause ever...) Jules:... Me? (Both laugh) Esteban: For me, whoever I marry will always be beautiful. What word would you use to describe your teammate? Esteban: Aggressive, but in a good way. Jules: Calm. He looks calm. Who has the best fashion sense? Jules: It’s difficult to say. Esteban: We don’t really see each other outside the track. Jules: I have to wear Puma stuff all the time... (Pause) And they are really, really great stuffs I should add! (Laughs) Esteban: I like wearing nice clothes, but I don’t like shopping. Yes, I need a sponsor! Who is the shyest? Jules: Maybe me. Esteban: Why? Jules: When I meet people for the first time, I’m not comfortable. Esteban: I’m a little bit, but not too bad. Who is your favourite sportsman? Jules: Schumacher. He is the best. That’s it. Esteban: For me, it’s hard to say. I think it’s Robert Kubica. Who tells the most jokes? (Esteban’s engineer Gaetan Jego enters the room) Jules: Gaetan is the best to answer. Gaetan: I probably tell the lamest jokes. Jules makes a lot of practical jokes to our truckie. Esteban: We cannot mention these jokes though. Jules: It’s a secret! Esteban: To be honest, they always to the jokes in French. Jules: Yes, it’s true that for me it’s a lot easier. It’s a French team. Jules, if you were to invite Esteban for dinner, what would you cook? Jules: Fajitas! You like then? Esteban: Yes. Jules: Then I would do that? I improved my cooking skills from last year (Laughs). I’d buy Old el paso and voila! Esteban: I would cook you very difficult pasta (Laughs). Honestly when I go to a restaurant and I see snails I think about the French. So if you cook fajitas to me, I will cook snails for you. Jules: No! I would not eat that! (Both Laugh) Who has the most contacts in their phone? Jules: I have more girls so... (Laughs) Esteban: 296. We can compare the BBM? Jules: I don’t know... BBM, I have 87 Esteban: 151. I win!
