Nico Rosberg – 7th and 12th:<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00ab It has been a good day of testing, and we were able to evaluate many different things.

Aside from that, it’s really very impressive and beautiful to drive here, and driving from day into night is truly something special. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
