Rosberg: “I did the job for two”

Nico Rosberg was the fastest in practice F1 du Red Bull Ring (Austria) by completing a lap of the Spielberg circuit in 1’09”113 with 117 laps covered on the W06 Hybrid. The German took over from Pascal Wehrlein who had set the benchmark on the first day. After working on the settings and aerodynamics of the car, the winner of the Austrian GP was satisfied with his tests even if he would have liked not to be the only starter to take part.

“It definitely helped me to be in the car, but Lewis will have the same settings. I did the job for two in a certain way ", commented Nico Rosberg in the Red Bull Ring paddock. “It’s the team that learned the most even if I always understand a few extra things while riding. »

Nico Rosberg's day of testing was only disrupted by a slight mechanical problem. « I had a gearbox problem, but we didn't waste time because it was fixed during the mid-day break. The program was intense, but we were able to complete everything”, specified Nico Rosberg.
