Rosberg does not take offense over qualifications

Nico Rosberg has been repeating it since the start of the weekend: he is in Austin to win the Grand Prix. The German, championship leader, took second place in qualifying behind his teammate at Mercedes Lewis Hamilton, but do not be alarmed after this result.

The driver of the No. 07 W6 Hybrid seemed less comfortable, particularly in the first corner of the Texan track, but admits to not having encountered any particular problems. “I think I prefer the second and third sectors,” Rosberg said ironically. Lewis was simply faster in the first. It wasn't a bad lap, but in the end Lewis beat me. »

The old pilot Williams remains hopeful for tomorrow and prefers to base itself on the history of the season, which has not necessarily seen the pole sitter materialize the next day. “Qualifying is not that important this season,” says Rosberg. And I still have a good chance for tomorrow. »
