Rosberg confident to race at legendary Fuji track

After 20 years of racing at the Suzuka circuit in Japan, Formula One changes tack this weekend and re-visits Fuji Speedway. The circuit has been given a major facelift by Hermann Tilke and today's facility stands tall among its rivals with a challenging new track layout and modern infrastructure. Williams F1 driver Nico Rosberg is looking forward to race at the legendary Fuji track.

Nico Rosberg "I am looking forward to racing at Fuji Speedway. With the huge renovation work and design input from Hermann Tilke, the legendary Fuji should now be a pretty cool track. Not having been to Fuji before, I have done some practice in a simulator, but the real learning happens when you are out on the track. For me, less than a dozen laps will be enough to start feeling comfortable.

At Fuji Speedway, we'll be on Toyota's home ground, so it would be great if we could do well there in front of the Japanese audience. I'll be flying out to Tokyo a week early for sponsor events and to recover from the jet lag. Dealing with the big time difference is not only about sleeping, but also about eating. You sometimes wake up at 4am and your body is screaming for a huge steak! Anyway, it's an unknown track, but again I am confident we can do well and continue our form of the last few races."
