ROSBERG SUPREME AS RIVALS FUMBLE
ROSBERG TWO GOOD
2016.02
Nico Rosberg leaves Bahrain unbeaten so far this season and looking stronger than he has ever been. Any successful F1 world championship campaign can make use of a lashing of good luck, but right now it is unfair to say that Rosberg has lucked his way to a victory streak that now spans five grands prix. Rather his rivals are tripping over themselves embroiled in their own misfortunes. Rosberg’s teammate and arch rival for the title, Lewis Hamilton did himself no favours with a dreadful start at Sakhir which dropped him into the pack who devoured him. He did recover like the true champ that he is, but again it was a case of damage limitation as Rosberg piled on the points. Ferrari? Well they were Ferrari, promising so much before the race (even before the season) but shooting themselves in the foot or is it luck that eludes the Maranello outfit? Whatever the case, if there was a race to win, Bahrain looked a good bet for the Reds. But alas the better half of their firepower went up in smoke even before the race started, and the other half nabbed a podium for a change. Ferrari and Hamilton have to put a stop to Rosberg’s relentless success, as he appears to have made the top step of the F1 podiums his own and right now no one appears to have a plan to push him off it.

BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX POST RACE INTERVIEW
ROSBERG I TOOK THE SAFEST STRATEGY N
ico Rosberg cruised to a comfortable victory in the Bahrain Grand Prix, Round 2 of the 2016 Formula 1 World Championship, after his main rivals faltered, and with it the German extended his championship lead while notching up his fifth consecutive F1 win and bagging the 16th grand prix victory of his career. He spoke after a very satisfying ‘day at the office’.
