Just days after scoring both his and Marussia's first F1 points at the Monaco GP, Sky Sports Online spoke to the Frenchman about the result, what it means to him and the team and what effect their Ferrari engine deal has had.

How much of a difference has the Ferrari engine made this year?
JB:
"The way of working is different. I cannot say what the difference is because obviously everything has totally changed now with the new rules. I cannot compare; but the only thing I can compare is the support we have. The support from Cosworth was really good but from Ferrari it's really something else." Do you think Ferrari can make the jump, power-wise, to match Mercedes?
JB:
"I think they're trying their best. They've improved the engine a lot already, it is much better now. We still have to improve obviously but I think it's getting there." And looking ahead to Montreal, is it a track you enjoy?
JB:
"I really liked Canada last year. It was really difficult but I really liked the track. I can't wait to be back there." This week's F1 Show is a Marussia Special, featuring interviews with Jules, Max Chilton as well as team President and Sporting Director Graeme Lowdon. The show starts on Friday night at 11pm on Sky Sports F1.
