Heikki Kovalainen is confident that he can once again become an established Formula One driver with his Lotus team after a couple of quiet years at McLaren.
“I’ve always had 100 percent confidence in my own ability and I have a lot of people around me that have kept supporting me,” he said.
“I don’t really have any problems with the criticism from people, public or management or whoever commenting [from] outside.
“I’m quite well aware myself where I am, where I’m at and what needs to be done and for me it’s quite easy to go work with that philosophy – and it doesn’t really bother me what people say outside.
“Of course to stay in Formula One and be among the top drivers there you have to do good performances and at McLaren I wasn’t able to do that so in that sense, yeah, I have to sort of prove myself again to get my name back up there where it should be.
“I’m confident I can do that.”
