“It is not realistic”: Nico Rosberg Admits He Doesn’t Have the Talent of Lewis Hamilton

Recently, He was talking about his life, goals, and F1 in an interview with Derstandard. During the interview, Nico had a lot of appreciation for Lewis Hamilton.

He said, “Some racing drivers may not have the talent of a Lewis Hamilton, I might be one of them.”

Nico went on to explain how his personal goals and capabilities are different from Hamilton’s. He said that he never targeted multiple World Championships and its not realistic for him to do so.

“It is not realistic for me to become world champion nine times, as he may be able to do”

When asked about what makes him happy? Winning the Drivers’ World Title or the whole F1 journey.

Nico replied, “You don’t have to be a world champion to be happy. You can also be fifth and if more than fifth was not possible with this car, you can get a lot of joy out of it.”
