Nico Rosberg facing the feat

Nico Rosberg, after four years at Williams, joined Mercedes GP. On paper, the driver has everything to succeed in this cocoon desired by the German manufacturer. Rosberg arrives in a world champion team, with a director with an impressive track record, as well as a teammate who holds all the victory records in Formula 1.

But teaming up with a seven-time world champion with a wealth of experience in racing and teamwork won't be easy. “ For Rosberg, it will be a real feat to be able to stand up to him ", Gerhard Berger tells Auto Motor und Sport. For the Austrian, Nico Rosberg will have to be impeccable if he wants to get ahead of his illustrious elder.

« It?s impossible for him to match Michael in terms of experience, political skill and confidence on his first attempt, continues Berger. Michael knows how to build a team around him. And, now, he has his former partner, Ross Brawn, by his side. Despite all this, if Nico manages to beat him, then he will become a superstar. »
