Nico Rosberg hopes to attain better result in the 2013 British Grand Prix – Formula 1 News
Mercedes driver, Nico Rosberg, has said that he is hoping to get better result in the 2013 British Grand Prix after facing immense tyre management issues in a couple of races in the running season.
Rosberg performed incredibly well in the qualifying of the Spanish Grand Prix and successfully managed to claim the pole position. However, he failed to make the most out of his qualifying performance and came 6th in
the race because of some tyre management issues.
Nonetheless, the German driver has said that he is hoping to see improvement in their tyre management and is positively looking forward to perform well in the forthcoming race.
“Whatever we do it's not going to be any worse than Spain!” Rosberg said. “It's highly likely that we'll do better than Spain because that was a really poor weekend for us. Qualifying was fantastic so again I expect a very good
qualifying here, but because high-speed corners are where you damage the tyres this is ultimate test with high-speed corners again.”
“If you're not good on your tyre management you are going to be nowhere in the race. But I expect it will be better than Spain and we've made some changes through the year, all the time trying to further improve it,” he added.
Currently, he is standing at sixth place in the drivers’ championship with 57 points. In addition, he has completely outclassed his teammate, Lewis Hamilton, in the qualifying and has scored an incredible win in the Monaco GP after
claiming his third consecutive pole position of the season.
In contrast, Hamilton is at fourth place in the drivers’ championship with 77 points. Furthermore, he is behind Kimi Raikkonen of Lotus and is ahead of his major opponent, Mark Webber of Red Bull Racing. Moreover, he has secured
three podium finishes and one fourth place finish in the season so far. But, he is yet to score a race victory in this season.
It will be thrilling to see how the German and the Briton perform in this weekend’s race and whether they will be able to attain competitive results for their team or not.
