Nico Rosberg had to surrender to team-mate Lewis Hamilton in Saturday’s qualifiers, but showed in yesterday’s race that he too can be a class of his own. The Mercedes team proved yesterday that they can have all the competition behind them. The double victory only increased their dominance in the overall standings, and their racers are the only ones who can fight for this year's world title. Rosberg reduced Hamilton's advantage to two points with yesterday's victory.
"It was already clear to me at Friday's training that Sunday's race could be a great success for us," Rosberg commented after the race. The competition rightly wonders how the Mercedes team was able to manage again to be elusive to others. However, it is clear that the settings and tires decided the race again.
“Even before the start, it was clear to me that I would be able to put pressure on Lewis. I felt I had a chance to win, ”Rosberg was proud of his success. Even if Hamilton took the first starting position on Saturday, apparently the German did not actually give up. He also made it clear in his comments on Saturday that he will fight to the end if at all possible. “Lewis had an extremely lucky day. After days like this, I know it's hard to beat him, "Rosberg was a little pessimistic on Saturday.
Hamilton lost a few places at the start, although it was not clear to him after the match where exactly was the reason that the others simply drove past him. He managed to make up for the delay, but it was soon clear to him that he would not have any chances against Rosberg. The German increased his advantage with each round, so that his stops in boxing were not an obstacle for him to win. “In the second part, it was clear to me that I still had some reserves in case I needed to,” Rosberg was proud.
