A coletiva
Nico foi um dos pilotos escalados para a coletiva da FIA hoje. Com ele ainda Nick Heidfeld (BMW Sauber), Heikki Kovalainen (Lotus), Vitaly Petrov (Renault) e Mark Webber (Red Bull). Falou pouco pelo que se vê na transcrição do Formula1.com. Mas, sobre o tempo não acredita em chuva forte apesar de mostrar preocupação com como isso seria em um GP noturno. Falou sobre a Mercedes ainda estar um pouco atrás das três equipes topo (Red Bull, Mclaren e Ferrari) e também da pista que apesar de não ser uma das suas favoritas lhe trás boas recordações. “É difícil conseguir uma volta perfeita, são muitas curvas de tipo diferentes e ondulações e por isso é bom”, disse o alemão que ainda completou “Eu sempre tive boas corridas aqui. Acho que posso ir bem nessa pista, por isso fico ansioco para voltar para cá”.
Q: Nico, a circuit you like I imagine giving that you had your best ever result here?
Nico Rosberg: It is probably not one of my favourite race tracks but it is a very challenging track which makes it interesting and also to get the perfect lap is very difficult here as there are so many corners, bumps, curves, different types of corners, so it is good. I have always had a good run here. I think I go well on this track, so I look forward to coming here every time.
Q: Is the potential for rain a bit of a worry? How is that going to affect things?
NR: Yeah, it is a bit of a concern. How is it going to be if there is a lot of rain with the lights, with everything on the track, rivers and things like that. It is very much unknown. But until now I think it has been alright, especially for qualifying and the race. It shouldn’t be wet but first free practice could be very interesting tomorrow.
Q: That is your weather forecast, is it?
NR: I have been here since Sunday and it is pretty much the same every day, so I think that is a good possibility.
Q: The team or the car seem to be better in the race rather than qualifying. Is that a correct take?
NR: It is difficult to say. Maybe we have had a bit of a tendency like that recently but I am not sure. I think in general we are on a level behind the top three teams at the moment and trying to stay ahead of Renault and I think we can do that towards the end of the season.

Mais uma pontuação “gorda” seria excelente para firmar-se à frente da Renault tanto no mundial de construtores, quanto no de pilotos. Nico assumiu a sétima colocação no ultimo GP somando 112 pontos, enquanto Kubica o segue, em oitavo, com 108.
