Points-hopeful Rosberg to stay on European time
23 September 2008As F1 takes a step into the unknown with its first ever night race, WilliamsF1 driver Nico Rosberg sees a strong opportunity to claim points this weekend in Singapore, and will not acclimatise to the local time zone, in order to be on his toes and ready to capitalise on any opportunity.
"It should be a good race for us as the track looks like it should suit our car pretty well and personally I always really enjoy racing on street circuits," said Rosberg. "New tracks are often quite demanding and take a bit of time during practice to get used to. Racing at night will add to that challenge, but the whole concept of night racing is fantastic."
"It will be a great show for the fans, and an interesting experience for all the teams. Singapore itself is a great new venue for Formula One and for all of our partners as well," he added. "I'm flying out quite late this week and will stay on European time while there. This weekend gives us another opportunity to claim some points which is certainly our aim."
Rosberg joins team mate Nakajima and Renault's Fernando Alonso who have come out publicly saying they will stay on European time.
