Mercedes, Rosberg: “Suzuka is a fantastic track where the best drivers have won”

With the third place achieved in the Malaysian Grand Prix, held last Sunday on the Sepang track, and the simultaneous retirement of Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg increased his lead over his teammate/rival which has now risen to 23 points with five races remaining conclusion of the season. Despite this important advantage (almost a race) the German continues to adopt the theory of step by step, not thinking in the medium and long term.

Over the weekend, Formula One will be busy on the Suzuka track, where Rosberg has never finished higher than second place in his career (2014-15).

"The result in Malaysia went in my favor in the title fight – Keke's son's comment – ​​This It's a fact and of course I can't say otherwise. Throughout the season he never paid attention to the ranking and I certainly don't intend to start now. I'm here with the aim of watching race after race. Suzuka is the next stop and I would like to get on the top step of the podium".

"Among the classic tracks, Suzuka is one of the fantastic ones, where all the legends have won – Rosberg's note – It would be an honor for me to add my name to that list. We hope it will be a great weekend for us, full of duels for the Japanese fans to enjoy".
