After the disappointing Grand Prix of Great Britain,The smile has returned to the face of Nico Rosberg ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix.

The German topped second practice, which came after the news of his contract renewal.

"In all respects, this is a good day for me," he said. "It feels very good to race next year and the following year for this fantastic team. I am very happy with my new contract."

"In the car, it was a nice day," he added. "We had no problems and the pace was excellent. We have a nice buffer against the competition, hopefully we can hold it."

Nico is too soft, he needs to grow a pair and punch that turdboy on and off the track. Many races lost due to being soft giving way when being squeezed into corners. Take the racist turd out of a few races and the fear will start to creep into that pos.
