Nico Rosberg: “There's no shortage of opponents, I have to stay focused”

Fortune favors the bold but also those who think positively, we dare say, and Nico Rosberg he has several reasons to consider himself kissed by Lady Luck at the beginning of the season. Not only did he achieve all three victories but his more fearsome opponents, with his boxing partner in the lead, were put out of action several times.
So this time the German of Mercedes he had no rivals in Q3, given that Hamilton he had to give up the fight at the end of Q2 due to a power unit problem and that Ferrari e Williams however, they were far enough away not to worry the blond Stella, uncatchable with his time of 1:35.417.

“To tell the truth, I was quite confident that my previous lap was sufficient – ​​he explained in the press conference Rosberg, who in an attempt to improve made a mistake in the final stages of Qualifying - because in Q2 the Ferrari they were quite far away and then Lewis couldn't participate in Q3. I was therefore very sure that it would be enough, even if you never know. There were still a few minutes to go and I was happy, when Sebastian finally crossed the line, that my lap had been sufficient."

When asked if his golden moment was also due to the misfortunes of others, the driver of the Mercedes he was keen to point out that he was not left alone up front in the still long fight for the title. “I knew about Sebastian – relegated 5 positions due to the gearbox replacement – ​​but not about Lewis; I was only focused on myself. It went very well today, from Q2 onwards, I felt great. Obviously the others were very unlucky, extremely unlucky, it's true, and this will make my race tomorrow a little easier but a race of F1 it never is, and there's Valtteri starting behind me anyway; the opponents are there, so I have to maintain concentration to do the best job possible”, concluded Nico.
