Hamilton and Rosberg confident

The final of the 2014 season of the World Championship Formula 1 will find its epilogue this Sunday in Abu Dhabi. Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg, teammates at Mercedes, will compete for the world crown. At the press conference, each driver was able to show their confidence before the final confrontation.

“I come here to try to win, like I do every race weekend, if nothing changes here, Hamilton explains. And in terms of pressure, I don't particularly feel it. I think I've had a lot of experiences during my career to be prepared for today. There is no particular recipe for this time. »

“It will be an intense weekend, of course, adds Rosberg who is 17 points behind his teammate. I don't want to use the word pressure but it's going to be intense. It's going to be a big fight. I can't wait and have been working towards this for a while now. Lewis is a great competitor and opponent and it will hopefully be a great end to the season. I'm here to try to win the race and then I need a little help from Lewis, so he doesn't finish second. » Rosberg also recalled that external help could also intervene. “Of course a lot of things can happen. Williams, for example, can get off to a good start and come between the two of us. This track is one of the most difficult for overtaking. »
