Interview with Nico Rosberg
With Nico Rosberg confirmed for next year at Williams, and after a roller coaster ride through the previous 13 Grands Prix of the season, the rookie driver sits down with Adam Cooper for some reflections on his progress so far
This has been a strange rookie year for Nico Rosberg, who has endured a roller coaster ride of form at Williams. He started of course in the best possible fashion with that brilliant drive to seventh, via fastest lap, in Bahrain. Had he not tagged Nick Heidfeld at the first corner, he could have finished fourth. Then there was a second-row qualifying performance in Malaysia, spoiled a little when he got caught up with teammate Mark Webber at the first corner.
Since then, highlights have been few. At the Nurburgring, an engine penalty saw him start from the back, and again he came through to take seventh. But strangely enough, those two drives through the field represent his only scores to date, although there have been a couple of near misses with ninths.
