Nico Rosberg “fell out of the wardrobe”

How did you learn about the signature of Schumacher ?
Ross Brawn called me the day before they signed. Surprised ? No, much more than that! I totally fell out of the wardrobe! Stunned. How not to be ? It's crazy, isn't it? The team kept me somewhat informed of the discussions they had with him for some time and it's true that management seemed to be moving in this direction quite regularly, but I found it hard to believe it after what it was. spent last summer. But it was true! Amazing?

Okay, here you are, teammates. Proud ?
Of course ! How not to be ? It’s still great. For the team, I think it is an important contribution, including for internal dynamics and ambition. For me, this will be a terrible source of motivation. And for the TVs, the press, the supporters, it’s great too.

Not a little fear of having to share the professional life of a ?monument? ?
No. I have a lot of respect for him, for his driving and his working method. He's certainly still very fast and as I don't intend to give in, we're going to tease each other. I must not start this collaboration with a complex.
