When you follow another car with a double diffuser does it make it harder to overtake, as people are saying?

“No, definitely not.”

As IF he’s going to say “yeah! its a huge difference man – honestly were pissing in the face of the new over taking aero regulations!”

It could also make him a lazy driver – needing a push!

For me this season is huge for Nico – he has to deliver. His early promise has faded together with the Williams team and poor results have really hurt his rep. Now he has a car near the front of the grid – he has to make it count

I always liked interviews with Rosberg. He sounds less bored with the questions and his answers aren’t the usual stock phrases and talking points you get to hear from many of the drivers.

That said, so cars without the double decker aren’t easier to overtake? Well, the majority of those, Ferrari, McLaren, Renault and half of BMW, use KERS, which is quite powerful when used tactically. It’s not very surprising that they aren’t easier to overtake.

- It’s also likely that he said that the diffuser does not make overtaking more difficult because he has a double-deck diffuser and doesn’t want it banned.

Rosberg has proven himself yet again this season. Would love to see the guy get a win under his belt.

Interesting what he says about overtaking – to me, he is possibly the best overtaker in the sport. Every time he gets a radio call saying “you need to pass”, he does it!
