Nico Rosberg believes the championship contenders will be terrified of making mistakes in the opening laps.<\/p>\n
He told Sky Sports: “You are just super scared to mess it up yourself with a mistake.<\/p>\n
“Like into Turn One, locking it up with the front and crashing then it is the end of your dream.<\/p>\n
“Of course, the mechanics are also crazy nervous because they want to be treating both drivers fairly, they don\u2019t want to mess up one pit stop and hand the other driver a championship or something, that would be horrible.<\/p>\n
“If you are the mechanic who makes that mistake that would be devastating. So, they are also very on the edge.<\/p>\n
“As a team, it is a day where the pressure is maximised. Then you have this Max Verstappen breathing down your neck, the ultimate gladiator who has zero pressure.<\/p>\n
“He is such an enormous force today, you don\u2019t really want that as a rival.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nico Rosberg believes the championship contenders will be terrified of making mistakes in the opening laps.
