Shanghai's a good circuit for racing because there's a 1km straight followed by a first-gear hairpin, so you can really be late on the brakes and pass somebody with Kers and now DRS it's even more exciting. I've won in China twice and last year's victory was one of my favourites because it was so touch-and-go whether I'd even get on to the grid after we suffered a fuel leak in the garage.

Most drivers on the grid will know Albert Park as the track where they started their Formula One careers – that's true for me and I've had some great races here.
