Nico Rosberg thinks the dominance of the Mercedes team may be coming to an end this season and says he’s really looking forward to it. The German defeated his teammate at Mercedes, Lewis Hamilton, in the 2016 season and then retired as the current world champion. “This year, it’s all starting from scratch because of the rule changes,” Rosberg said.

This year, new aerodynamic rules came into force, which should make it easier to overtake and drive in the wind, and with them, according to the German, all the advantage of the German team could disappear. “Mercedes may no longer be the dominant force. I'm really looking forward to it, "he said, adding that Red Bull, which will be racing with Honda's powertrains for the first time this season, could also be at the top. Ferrari will certainly be in the fight for the top places, and this year, like their star Sebastian Vettel, it will be under even more pressure.

“Of course the pressure is great. They already had two options and especially last year they did not take advantage of it. I’m sure (Charles) Leclerc will have a lot of fun this year as he is very fast. He is on a different level than Kimi (Raikkonen), who was the obvious number two. Leclerc will want to become number one on the team and it will be interesting to see how Sebastian copes with it. ”

Rosberg believes that Valtteri Bottas could shine this year as well. "If he starts the season well and Lewis loses motivation, which sometimes happens to him, things can turn around."
