Nico Rosberg wants to do better than in 2008

For its third season in Formula 1 in Williams, in 2008, Nico Rosberg managed to reach the podium twice. The first time on the third step, in Australia, the second on the second step, during the Singapore Grand Prix. But this year with Mercedes, the German aims higher. “My best result in Singapore, which dates back to 2008, is second place, He says. I would love to do better this year. »

Winner twice this season, in Monaco and in Great Britain, and knowing he has a machine allowing him to play for victory, Rosberg approaches the 13th Grand Prix of the season with confidence. And all the more so since, according to him, the W04 should find a playground in Singapore that highlights its qualities. “It's a great event, and the atmosphere throughout the weekend is definitely one of the best of the year, he admits. For the drivers, it is one of the hardest races physically. There are a lot of turns and no long straights for you to relax. It is also a long race, lasting around two hours. The chicane was removed this year, and that pleases me. The route should suit our car, and I hope we will be able to have a good weekend. »

With seven rounds remaining, Nico Rosberg occupies sixth place in the general classification, 26 points behind Mark Webber, fifth, and 122 behind Sebastian Vettel, first.
