Mercedes: Rosberg runs with a broken toe
The weekend is not a restful one for Nico Rosberg, who admitted to suffering from a broken toe. An explanation for his delay compared to his teammate?
During a walk in the Sakhir paddock, journalists from Bild, encountering Nico Rosberg, noticed that the German driver’s left foot was partially out of his shoe. When questioned about it, Nico Rosberg didn’t hide anything.
« I injured my toe while running on the beach » the Mercedes driver told the German media, before confirming that he did indeed suffer a fracture.
Here is information far from being anecdotal, which could potentially explain the difficulties that the German has been experiencing in measuring up to his teammate Lewis Hamilton since the beginning of the weekend. However, far from hiding behind this excuse, Nico Rosberg has taken care to minimize the impact of his injury.
Recently, some drivers have raced with injuries or various pains. This was the case for Mark Webber, who had a leg injury after a cycling accident at the end of 2008 and suffered from the pain for a long time, and Kimi Räikkönen, who was hampered at the end of 2013 by a long-standing back injury that even forced him to withdraw from the last two races of the season.
