Not many Take him Seriously

Formula 1 is a prestigious racing event and is where you’ll see top automakers in the industry battle it out for the world championship. During the period when Michael Schumacher dominated the race, F1 for me was boring. It seemed too predictable that Ferrari would be finishing first in each race. If it’s not him, it was definitely going to be his former teammate Rubens Barrichello. But since Schumacher’s retirement, the race has changed a lot. Drivers from other teams, who haven’t shined because of the domination of the Ferrari has stood out. But despite the changes in the race and the switches in the standings, there are still other drivers who haven’t been at their best. Among the drivers that haven’t shown their best is Nico Rosberg.

Rosberg is a Williams driver and has finished 42 races in his career. But during his 42 races, his only got to the podium once and never had any chance to win for his team. He also never had pole position in his career. Though many believe that he’s one great driver, not many take him seriously. That’s mostly because his car isn’t good enough for him. Yes, his Williams’ car obviously doesn’t bring out his best. The only good thing that I noticed during his career is that he had at least one podium finish and that happened during the Australian GP. That seemed like a long time ago and it definitely has been awhile since had won.

The midseason of F1 is in full circle and the battle between the toughest teams, as I’m sure it will, is about to start. The first venue for that battle? The Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours in Magny-Cours, France. Rosberg still has time to prove himself and it would definitely be a challenge for him given that Lewis Hamilton is starting in the 11^th position on the grid because of the pit lane blunder that has happened during the previous Canadian GP.

Rosberg’s Williams’ car isn’t the only reason why he hasn’t made any wins for himself and for his team. Among the reasons for his zero win since 2006 is the tough competition against the Ferrari, the McLaren, and the BMW teams. And by looking at the standing right now, there’s also the threat posed by the Red Bull-Renault and the Toyota teams. What Rosberg needs right now to win is to compete by making the most his car and his skills and of course apply a better strategy to get points for his team.
