formula 1

World champion of the 2016 season, Nico Rosberg believes that the mistake of Charles Leclerc in the qualifications for the Grand Prix of Azerbaijan is the fault of the Ferrari team, which sent both of its racers to the track in the second part of the qualifications on medium hard tires. Leclerc swung into the favorites for the best starting position in Baku with quick times in free practice, and in the first part of the qualifiers, but in the middle of the second part, Monačan made a mistake in the eighth turn and collided with protective tires.

Rosberg is looking forward to the end of Mercedes' dominance

formula 1

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 definitely be in the fight for the top places this year, as will their federations

Rosberg: Formula 1 will become fully electric

formula 1

Nico Rosberg believes that Formula 1 will be forced to follow Formula E in the future and focus on all-electric propulsion. As the world champion of the 2016 season said, sport will have no other choice. Formula E is currently the leading single-seater competition that, following the example of the automotive industry, aims to achieve universal use of electric cars worldwide. The former Williams and Mercedes racer told the British BBC at the World Economic Forum in Davos that Formula 1 will soon be forced into change. "If electric vehicles are sold all over the world, vehicles in an environmentally friendly way are driven, it's clear that Formula 1 can't use petrol engines. That doesn't make sense." "I believe that at some point there will be changes. Two years ago, everyone was still very skeptical about
