Nico, you're again World Champion, how do you feel?
«It was a fantastic weekend to say the least. We won and I thank Dino for the chassis he made, simply perfect. As you know he was my boss. To be able to work with him again for this project makes me very happy. Lorenzo really deserves it. He did something extraordinary as did the whole team. I know the feeling because I had the chance to experience it in the first person. All this is extremely satisfying. I would like to thank Petronas who gave me the "power" to win my World Cup and now we are again back on top together».
One season over, one immediately thinks of the next one - what plans do you have?
«We have thought about 2019 but first we wanted to finish this year. The season now concluded was just a beginning ... and I must say that we started really strong! We will continue with Petronas and we want to expand the team a little. Clearly we will carefully choose the drivers to understand how we can best consolidate the team. 60 Mini for the future? We'll see. The intention is that. It would be nice to take them forward. Now it's early».
With this first excellent result, Rosberg Racing is a candidate for the role of one-to-watch for next year, where it will have the task of winning and replicating what has been done up to this point.
