Rosberg: “I had tire and brake problems, I didn't expect Hamilton's attack”

Victory vanished on the last lap for Nico Rosberg. Author of an excellent comeback from sixth place, Rosberg was leading on the last lap when Hamilton attempted to attack with a few corners to go. The German ended up wide, surprised by the Englishman's attack, touching his teammate and damaging the front wing, then being overtaken by Verstappen and Raikkonen.

“It became more difficult for me because the tires were at their limit and the brakes were also too hot,” commented Rosberg. “His attack surprised me, I was on the inside, I didn't expect it. The investigation? I don't know, at the moment I'm only thinking about the lost victory, not about the ongoing investigations. I arrived a little wide sure of winning the race, I was already inside the corner, the curve was mine, we touched during the fight, I was inside and he threw himself into the attack" concluded Rosberg.
