Häkkinen: Rosberg could take revenge in 2015

With 11 victories for Lewis Hamilton against five for Nico Rosberg, the title deserved to go to the Briton who was able to gain the advantage over his teammate in the race. However, the German also achieved great performances with 11 poles on the favorite terrain of the new double world champion. Rosberg still had his chances of winning the title at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix before seeing his last hopes dashed with mechanical problems.

Lewis Hamilton could benefit from the superiority of Mercedes F1 since the new regulations to dominate the discipline for several seasons. But Mika Häkkinen, double world champion in 1998 and 1999 with McLaren, expects to see Nico Rosberg to respond next year. “Nico should not be ruled out. He also drove very well this year and remained fastest in qualifying in Abu Dhabi., commented the Finn during an interview with his sponsor Hermes.

Mika Häkkinen seems to have his preference at Mercedes F1, the Nordic driver having been notably managed by Keke Rosberg, Nico's father. “It's difficult to know if Mercedes will continue to dominate the field in 2015 as we have yet to see next year's cars on track. But I think we will see the rivalry between Lewis and Nico continue. I know Nico is very motivated and wants to win the Championship next year. It will be interesting to see if the next Mercedes will be a better fit for one of its two drivers. »
