Prost: “Rosberg's advantage is starting to be important”

Nico Rosberg he is now very close to winning the world championship. This is the thought of Alain Prost, F1 legend who told Canal Plus his position on the fight for the title with four races to go.

“A lead of 33 points is starting to be important – he said – it's much better to have that lead with four races to go than the four victories in a row he had at the start of the season. Now Rosberg will have to manage this advantage and enter a psychological condition that is not always easy."

According to the Frenchman, Rosberg is behaving like a true champion in 2016: “The German is doing everything he has to to win his first world title. The big advantage is never easy to manage, especially against Lewis Hamilton."

Prost rejected the rumors that Rosberg was more lucky than good but warned how things could change in Formula 1 at any moment: "A retirement would be enough and Lewis would be back in the race."
