Nico Rosberg is looking forward to how the title fight finale unfolds in 2021. He does think Lewis Hamilton has the advantage over Max Verstappen when it comes to Saturday's qualifying.
History is being made in Abu Dhabi
Rosberg was speaking to Sky Sports F1 about a historic moment in Formula 1 history. Neither driver seems nervous, but according to Rosberg, they are. "Even these two drivers, you look at Max from the outside and sometimes think this guy didn't even get nervous but they're human." But both will be on the edge of their seats thinks the 2016 world champion.
"Lewis is on fire, he has such great form. He was on massive form yesterday, you have to feel he is a little bit favourite at the moment," Rosberg continued. According to the German, Mercedes have been unstoppable in the last few races.
Hamilton favourite for pole
This also means that Verstappen will have to work hard in Abu Dhabi. The Dutchman was on pole in 2020, but it won't be so easy this year according to Rosberg: "Max is going to have to pull out something extremely special to be ahead in qualifying."
