Rosberg content with 2nd as Hamilton forces title showdown
SAO PAULO — Lewis Hamilton won Sunday’s rain-delayed Brazil Grand Prix at Interlagos, and Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg again settled for second. It’s the third straight race that Rosberg has been the runner-up behind Hamilton.
Is Rosberg frustrated? Not likely.
If he finishes second again to Hamilton in the season finale on Nov. 27 in Abu Dhabi — or even third —it will be enough to bring him his first drivers’ title.
“I can live with second today,” Rosberg said, ceding the stage again to the Englishman, whose victory was his first in Brazil after failing in nine other attempts. “I was hoping for the win, but second is OK.”
