Rosberg aims for top six on Indian debut

22 October 2011

Nico Rosberg hopes to place his Mercedes among the top six finishers at next weekend’s inaugural Indian Grand Prix. The German suffered a tough afternoon last time out in Korea, being passed by Jaime Alguersuari’s Toro Rosso for seventh in the closing stages before running out of fuel on the slowing down lap.

“This will be my first visit to India and it will be very exciting for me to discover the new culture,” says Rosberg. “I am planning to spend a few days in the country and looking forward to doing some sightseeing, particularly making a visit to the Taj Mahal.

“I hope the first race in India will be a great show for all motorsport fans there and a big success. I enjoy going to new tracks for the first time, as I tend to learn them quickly, and it will be very interesting to set the car up as there will be so many unknown points.

“I hope to be able to fight in amongst the top six cars again, like during the last race in Korea, but this time hopefully I will be able to stay ahead of one of them until the end of the race.”
