Lapierre happier at new team

Nicolas Lapierre says he feels more settled now at his new team DAMS having spent two seasons with Arden. Despite Arden's reputed status as a top team, Lapierre suffered much misfortune and feels he was never able to show his true potential.

"It's a different philosophy, but I think I feel better here because they are French people so it's better for communication, and it just feels better together.

"We have done a lot of good things together, so they trust me 100% and I trust them 100%. It is different, very different, but I think Arden did a good job on Saturday as well, and they are a very strong team, but I think I fit in here much more than in Arden.

"I won the A1 with them (DAMS) before, I have a lot of confidence in them and I know they can do a good job - when I see the numbers on the car are 22 and 23 I think it's not possible because the team is much better than that. They are one of the top teams I think, and last year they had a very difficult season, but the guys here are very good and I'm sure that for this year we will do a very good job," he added.
