After winning the most recent race in Mexico, Mercedes’ Nico Rosberg says he is hoping to continue his good form in Brazil.
Rosberg dominated at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez over a week ago. The German controlled the race from pole position and never looked to be under threat from Mercedes teammate and recently crowned world champion Lewis Hamilton.
Rosberg has taken pole position in the last four events and looks to be back on form after a disappointing campaign in 2015.
“I’m really pumped to get to São Paulo and get back out on track after a great weekend in Mexico. For a start, Interlagos is one of the classic races on the calendar. It’s a tricky circuit that’s a really good challenge for a driver, with plenty of overtaking opportunities and crazy weather that always makes for an action-packed race.
“I have good memories from Brazil, too. I’ve usually been pretty quick there and last year was a good battle with Lewis when I came out on top. Standing on the top step after a hard-earned win, following in the footsteps of so many great drivers who have won there and with the passionate Brazilian crowd cheering on – that was a great feeling
After his recent success in Mexico, Rosberg is confident of making it back-to-back wins.
“It’s always a great feeling to head into a weekend on the back of a win, so I’m confident of a strong performance.”
Rosberg won the Brazilian Grand Prix in 2014.
