Russian GP: Driver Preview Quotes - Mercedes


Preview Quotes: Mercedes


Lewis Hamilton - "It's difficult to know what to say after a weekend like the one in Japan. As I crossed the line, obviously I was pleased to have finally won at Suzuka - but as soon as we got back to the pits and heard what happened to Jules it suddenly didn't seem relevant anymore. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. This weekend is a new experience for Formula One as we head to Russia for the first time. I like a challenge and a new circuit always provides that. Of course, we've run through plenty of laps on the simulator - but you never really know what it will be like until you get out there and feel your way into the track. I'm looking forward to seeing what it's really like and how our car performs there. It felt great in the race in Japan and I'm sure it will be strong again in Sochi, so I'm hoping to keep up this run of results that we've built in the last few races."

Nico Rosberg - "My first thoughts at the moment are always with Jules Bianchi and I really wish him, his family and his colleagues all the very best at this difficult time. The weekend in Japan brought a good result for the team but we came away from the race with only one thing on our minds - the well-being of our colleague Jules. Looking ahead to this weekend, it's exciting to be going to the first ever Russian Grand Prix. Formula One has never raced in Russia before, of course. But we did actually do a demo in Moscow a couple of years ago where I drove round the Kremlin, which was really cool. Everybody was really into it - all the Russian fans - so I think there will be a lot of people coming to watch us. It's a new circuit, so we've spent a lot of time in the simulator practicing it to learn all the lines and the gears as best we can before going there, which will be important when we first hit the track. I'm looking forward to what I'm sure will be a great first year for Formula One in Russia."
