Rosberg unable to explain current form

Lewis Hamilton has dominated the weekend so far, leading the Mercedes charge by up to eight tenths of a second at some points, and Nico Rosberg even being challenged by the Ferrari’s or Red Bull’s in Free Practice.

It isn’t something that the German can explain though, even though it had been conceded that the set up was wrong on Friday, but couldn’t explain the step back through qualifying, “Congrats to Lewis first of all on a great pole lap. Unfortunately for me, something went wrong in qualifying which I can’t quite explain at the moment.

“In P3 I sorted out the problems from Friday and had a great feeling in the car. But then, as early as the first lap in Q1, I had to feed back to the pits that I had heavy understeer from the car. I tried to change some of the electronic setup but it didn’t really work out.

“The positive could be that this setup might help me a bit more in the race, as understeering could keep the rear tyres more alive, so we will see. Even if I´m not happy about my performance today, there is still a lot to play for tomorrow.

“I need a good start – but there will be some other chances later in the race so I will go for it!”
