Nico Rosberg satisfied with second place

Nico Rosberg has claimed that he was satisfied with his second-place finish in the Canadian Grand Prix.

The German started in second place on the grid, but was unable to find a way past Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton as the defending world champion fended off his attempts, and as a result Rosberg was forced to settle for second.

Rosberg told Sky Sports News: "It was a good race against Lewis, I was pushing like mad to try and put the pressure on, but he didn't make any mistakes so fair play.

"It was a challenging race because we had to manage fuel, brakes, all these things, but it was the same for Lewis.

"It was a good race, I couldn't quite make it happen, but second place is still okay."

The 29-year-old trails Hamilton by 17 points in the drivers' championship.
