GP Abu Dhabi 2014, Niki Lauda: “Lewis incredible, sorry for Nico”

La Mercedes dominated the 2014 Formula 1 season by conquering both World Cups, the Constructors' one, which was certainly the most awaited in Stuttgart, and the Drivers' one, at the hands of Lewis Hamilton who thus repeats his first success in 2008. What could not be missing was the comment from Niki Lauda, ​​the man who forcefully pushed Mercedes to hire the British pilot at the end of the 2012 season. The three-time Austrian world champion undoubtedly showed himself extremely satisfied with the victory of what we can define as his pupil even if he was unable to hide sorry for what happened to Rosberg, who was unable to fight on equal terms with Hamilton due to the failure of the ERS.

“Lewis did it truly incredible, he drove perfectly – underlined Lauda – Obviously I'm also sorry for Nico, the same problem he had had in Canada recurred on his car, with the ERS stopping working. Despite this, it was another perfect weekend."
