The two tracks in Japan and China are real drivers' circuits and I hope to be able to validate this vote of confidence from the team."

The BMW WilliamsF1 Team Principal, Frank Williams said, "On the strength of his races for the team thus far this season, we know he will serve us well in the next two Grands Prix."
