There are victories that are more or less significant in a driver’s career. The one achieved in Singapore by Nico Rosberg will surely have a special place in his personal records as the German driver demonstrated an impressive pace, both in qualifying and in the race, on the Marina Bay circuit.<\/p>\n
A performance worthy of a world champion that did not go unnoticed by Toto Wolff, the sporting director of the Mercedes team: \u00ab I have known Nico [Rosberg] since 2013, and this weekend, it’s the best Nico Rosberg I have ever seen! \u00bb exclaimed the Austrian after the race.<\/p>\n
The comparison with his illustrious teammate, a triple world champion, is inevitable in this respect: \u00ab We usually say that Lewis Hamilton has an impressive pace. And that’s what we saw this weekend with Nico. He was just incredibly fast. He was almost 6 tenths quicker between FP2 and qualifying, something we’re not used to seeing here. \u00bb<\/p>\n
A speed and success that, according to Wolff, surely somewhat hindered a Lewis Hamilton who was very uncomfortable during the weekend: \u00ab Lewis didn’t have a very clean weekend. It’s a vicious circle. Confidence is one of the keys in Singapore and when your teammate is on top like Nico was, it becomes difficult. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
