Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg drove a little off the Singapore spotlight on a strong fifth place, “More was not today”
While in the lit canyons of Singapore some incidents, especially the duel between Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel were in focus, Nico Rosberg went almost unnoticed a strong Grand Prix. The 25-year-old took fifth in ten major points for Mercedes, Michael Schumacher, meanwhile, went away empty-handed.

“It was definitely a great race,” says Rosberg satisfied. “I had a great start, just as hoped I was able to keep pace at the start with Jenson, from behind made Kubica some pressure but that was not a big problem I have benefited from the fact that Lewis retired Fifth Place -…. Better it did not work today. ”
Start from seventh place to Rosberg worked relatively simply from the Singapore night. It’s always hard. While it was in previous times more exhausting, but it is always hard. That’s always the toughest race. Fortunately, I had in the last 30 laps no pressure. If I’d have to push to the end , then it would not have been easy. ”

“I had to save the brakes. I was in the end, brake problems, but others might be more,” says the native of Wiesbaden. “Mercedes has certainly made a little progress, but there is still immense.” In the overall standings, Rosberg after the Singapore weekend now 122 points. It is therefore only three points behind Felipe Massa.
