Bianchi not distracted by title prospects

Jules Bianchi is attempting to put any title-winning scenarios to the back of his mind as the championship arrives in his home nation of France this weekend. With a 17-point lead over Christian Vietoris, the German is able to take six out of the ART driver without denying him the title.

Bianchi has 75 points to Vietoris' 58

With a comfortable lead in the standings, Bianchi understands that there is still room for mishaps with four races left to run. "I'm truly happy about racing at Dijon as it is one of the greatest race tracks in France," he said. "I like driving there and in 2007 I won a Formula Renault race."

In familiar surroundings, Jules does admit that clinching the title at home would be ideal. "It's true, I could secure the title this weekend, but currently I'm not thinking about that possibility," he continued. "I will just be fully focused and try to avoid making any mistakes - but I won't put myself under additional pressure because I've got the chance of winning the title early.

"Nonetheless, I have to admit that it would be great if I could celebrate the title in my home country, together with my family and friends."
