Looking forward to racing in Spa
It’s been nice to have a short break but it will be good to start racing again next weekend. Spa is definitely up there as one of my favourite
circuits and it’s one of the most challenging tracks that we race on. The lap is very high-speed with some great corners, including Eau Rouge of
course, and it’s just a great place to drive a Formula One car. The last race in Hungary was difficult for us but I know that everyone at the factory
has been working hard since the shutdown and we hope to have a better weekend in Spa.

1st Triathlon experience
The triathlon was a great experience. I got pushed under water at the start and breathed in a lot of water which wasn’t nice because I started
coughing and it took quite some time to find a nice rhythm after that. The bike was the most fun. Although there was one steep small mountain which we
had to pass over twice which was tough. The run was not fun because I suffered a lot. I had stitches and I hadn’t eaten enough carbohydrates so I was
really struggling. But running was still my strongest discipline. I finished 44th out of a couple of hundred which was good for a first timer, and
considering that I started training from zero in December. I look forward to competing more often in future. I recovered very quickly so it’s not a
problem to combine it with racing.

Rosberg out to bounce back at Spa
Mercedes man Nico Rosberg is 'hoping' for a better result at the F1 2010 Belgian Grand Prix next weekend after a botched pit-stop led to his first
retirement of the year in Hungary.
Rosberg has had a brilliant season to date, and has finished on the podium three times, scoring points in ten of the twelve races and currently sits
seventh in the drivers' championship with 94 points on the board.
Speaking ahead of the thirteenth round on the schedule, the German added that while he has enjoyed having some time off, he is looking forward now to
getting back on track at Spa-Francorchamps.
"It's been nice to have a short break but it will be good to start racing again next weekend," Rosberg confirmed. "Spa is definitely up there as
one of my favourite circuits and it's one of the most challenging tracks that we race on.
"The lap is very high-speed with some great corners, including Eau Rouge of course, and it's just a great place to drive a Formula One car.
"The last race in Hungary was difficult for us but I know that everyone at the factory has been working hard since the shutdown and we hope to have a
better weekend in Spa."
Mercedes GP team principal, Ross Brawn meanwhile also can’t wait for the resumption of the F1 2010 season, although he clarified that the
Brackley-based outfit hasn’t been able to do a lot with the MGP W01 due to the enforced two-week shutdown.
"The summer shutdown has been a well-deserved opportunity for our staff to have a break in the middle of the season but we are all looking forward to
the racing getting underway again with the Belgian Grand Prix next weekend," Brawn continued.
"Spa is one of the classic racing circuits on the calendar which is loved by drivers, engineers and fans so it is always one of the highlights of the
year. The circuit is dominated by straights at the start and end of the lap with a twisty middle section and the drivers love the fast sweeping
corners, including the legendary Eau Rouge.
"With the shutdown, we have had limited time to work on the car since the Hungarian Grand Prix at the end of July, however we will do our best to
have a good weekend in Spa to kick-off the final run of seven races to the end of the season," Brawn summed-up.
