he told reporters.
Speaking late Thursday, after Hamilton had said he would “take it like a man” if he failed to land his own fourth title, Rosberg insisted he was focused on his performance and nothing else.
He said he would continue with his race-by-race approach.

He added that he was also not at all concerned by Hamilton’s record on the Circuit of the Americas where he has won three times and last year clinched his third title.
