Nico Rosberg expects to suffer in race

Saturday was not a pleasant day Nico Rosberg at the Italian Grand Prix. Victim of a mechanical problem on his W06 Hybrid in free practice 3, the German was forced to progress during the qualifying session with a car equipped with a Power Unit which has already been used in Belgium. A parameter which handicapped the vice-world champion.

“I had a little lack of power,” admits Rosberg. With every kilometer you lose a little power and Monza is a track where the engine has a big impact. » In addition to having been preceded by both Ferrari by Kimi Räikkönen and Sebastian Vettel, former driver Willams expects to have a difficult race this Sunday.

“It will be difficult, because I will probably also be a little slower in the race because of it. But I will never give up. I have to fight to get off to a good start and hope to overtake the two Ferraris in front of me quickly to give me a chance to catch Lewis. »

The Italian Grand Prix will start at 14 p.m. and will be to follow live on our website. Photos from the transalpine weekend can be viewed here.
