Rosberg close to optimal package in Abu Dhabi

Lewis Hamilton was the fastest during the first practice session of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, but the Briton was followed like his shadow by his rival Nico Rosberg, losing by only 83 thousandths. “It's been a good day but I haven't managed to put everything together in my flying lap yet. There is therefore still progress to be made. There car performed very well, I just need to tweak the settings so that the package suits me perfectly. »

If the German is aware that his destiny is no longer completely in his hands, his teammate being assured of the coronation by taking 2nd place at Yas Marina, he does not seem dejected. « The route is truly impressive. It's always a great moment when night falls and the floodlights come on. We will have a great show here”, assured the German.
