Esteban Gutierrez has admitted his might not be an easy transition to formula one in 2013.<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old rookie is replacing his Mexican countryman Sergio Perez at Telmex-backed Sauber next year.<\/p>\n
In 2012, he finished the GP2 season in third place behind Davide Valsecchi and Luiz Razia.<\/p>\n
“I am fully aware that F1 is not easy, because it’s the highest level of motor sport,” Gutierrez is quoted by Brazil’s Totalrace.<\/p>\n
“It’s true that I have not been consistent in GP2, but I think this has been the most rewarding season on my career because it’s the kind of experience that gives you a better perspective for the future.<\/p>\n
“I will try to look for consistency in F1 and when I get it, I can start thinking about great results,” he added.<\/p>\n
“First, I have to go step by step, adapt, and for that the beginning of the season will be very important.”<\/p>\n
Gutierrez admits he cannot say for sure that he is ready for F1.<\/p>\n
“It makes no sense to say I am 100 per cent ready because it’s difficult to judge.<\/p>\n
“But definitely I am doing my best and using all the time I have had on the track to improve my knowledge with the car, not only for the driving itself but also the feedback to give to the team.<\/p>\n
“In F1, this is crucial,” he concluded.<\/p>\n
