Nico Rosberg hopes to get good result in 2013 Monaco Grand Prix – Formula 1 news
Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg has said that he is hoping to attain good result in the 2013 Monaco Grand Prix which is going to be held at Circuit de Monaco in Monte Carlo on May 26.
Rosberg performed amazingly well in the 2012 Monaco GP and secured an impressive second podium finish after taking a start from 2nd grid slot. Although, he has faced some reliability issues in a couple of races in this season, but he is positively looking
forward to perform well in the forthcoming race and is aiming to secure another good result in Monte Carlo.
“The surroundings definitely make Monaco the coolest track on the calendar and the atmosphere over the weekend is great,” Rosberg said. “I have good memories from the race last year after finishing in second place and I hope we can get another good result
this time around.”
The German driver performed inspiringly well in the qualifying of last two races and successfully secured pole positions. However, he failed to maximise on his qualifying performance in both the races and could not score competitive points for his team because
of some reliability problems.
Nevertheless, he is not feeling upset and is confidently eying to perform well in the qualifying of the approaching round so as to secure a higher grid position to take a strong start on the race day.
Even though, he expressed few concerns about their tyre management. Nonetheless, he said that they are targeting to come up stronger in the upcoming race with some essential step-ups in their car.
“At the moment we have a good car for qualifying which helps in Monaco as it's the most important qualifying session of the year as track position is so important. So that might be helpful for us but there are so many unknowns, especially with the tyres,
so we will just have to wait and see,” he added.
Currently, the 27-year-old is standing at 9th place in the drivers’ championship with 22 points. Besides, he is behind his main opponent, Paul di Resta of Force India and ahead of McLaren pair of drivers, Jenson Button and Sergio Perez.
Let’s see whether he will be able to score good points in the next race or not.
