Rosberg: seventh place is “ok”

Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg may be good terms with his performance in qualifying – Rubens Barrichello at the start only an opponent?

Actually, Nico Rosberg in qualifying would have liked to place in Singapore immediately after the World Cup favorites, had to be in the top 10 finals but still give Rubens Barrichello (Williams) defeated and brought “only” seventh. This is the 25-year-old, however, satisfied that he was in 1:46.443 minutes but team-mate Michael Schumacher again behind.

Shall deduct Rosberg a positive conclusion and says immediately after the qualifying session.. “That’s OK I think today I would have to be six, it annoys me a bit that Rubens is not purely down to me But that’s okay. “says the Mercedes driver for the record, adding:” I’m on the clean side and is determined to crack it on Sunday at the start. ”
It should not be the seventh place but taken as an indication of a performance increase for silver, says Rosberg. “It’s not just about Mercedes and Singapore, but Mercedes and all routes. Why can not we now break out into singing,” said the German. “We must continue to work hard and see that we are soon ahead. Currently we are still missing a corner.”

Part of this residue would Rosberg on race day to make up from Singapore – preferably at the very first meters against veteran Barrichello. “The tactic is for Sunday: First of all make a good start,” announced the son of former champion Keke Rosberg of confidence. “I’m on the clean side, so that would be it. Then we will see again.”
