Mercedes W04, Rosberg: “At the beginning of the season we will have to make up the gap from 2012”

Tomorrow he will take the new W04 to the track in Jerez to do the first weaning laps, while today Nico Rosberg dedicated himself to the words to crown the presentation of the car which took place on the Spanish track.

Keke's son was positive in his initial assessments, however he slowed down the enthusiasm of the fans who would like to see the silver arrows win immediately starting from Australia, – “This winter I dedicated myself a lot to working on the simulator. It seems that at least in the virtual world the machine was born well! I must also say that the tests carried out for promotional reasons revealed a well-balanced car, so I am confident even if I don't think that at the start of the season we will be among the fastest given how wide the gap was at the end of last year. The primary objective will be to reduce it."

Regarding his new teammate Lewis Hamilton, the German commented, – “I'm happy to work with him because I know him well and I know that like me he is a real fighter. Together we will try to bring Mercedes to the top of F1."
