Mercedes AMG PETRONAS F1 Team driver Nico Rosberg has
confirmed that he is not focussing on the Drivers’ standings despite being 27
points behind team mate and championship leader Lewis Hamilton.
Rosberg has failed to win a Grand Prix this season with
Hamilton having taken three Grand Prix victories from the opening four races of
the season. Rosberg has been on the podium in three Grand Prix so far this
season and at the Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai accused team mate Lewis
Hamilton of backing him into Scuderia Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel and just
thinking of himself and not the team.
Rosberg heads to the Spanish Grand Prix in two weeks having
finished the Bahrain Grand Prix in third place behind Scuderia Ferrari’s Kimi
Raikkonen.
However the German has now stated he lost time during his second
pit-stop due to the fact that his chief mechanic flew home early and the German
stated that he was unable to absorb that sort of lose during the race.
In Australia, Rosberg started the race on the front row
alongside team mate and pole sitter Lewis Hamilton. In Malaysia the German
started the race in third place just behind Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel. In
China, Rosberg was back on the front row alongside Hamilton while last time out
in Bahrain he started the race from third place just ahead of Kimi Raikkonen’s
Ferrari.
Despite difficult start to his season compared to his team
mate, Rosberg is second in the championship and there is no doubt that the
Mercedes driver will bounce back and be extremely competitive and will continue
to challenge for race wins as the European season gets underway.
