The reprofiling of the corner has led to several complaints from other drivers, but Rosberg is a fan.I think its a good corner, we can learn something from that one, he said. Because even when youre following someone in front you can do two different lines, and if youre following closely behind youu can go on the inside, so theres a little less grip but at least youll have clean air, then you can give it a go on the run down to Turn 1.dddddddddddd For passing it will be cool.Rosberg said he is enjoying the challenge of finding the best line through the corner.Yeah for sure, they changed the angle of the track totally, so now you have to find a new line through there, I think the best line was not even hitting the apex, you have to stay a bit further out so its quite interesting.
