Nico Rosberg expecting battle with Lewis Hamilton

Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg expects a straight fight between himself and teammate Lewis Hamilton in tomorrow's Canadian Grand Prix.

Nico Rosberg has said that he expects tomorrow's Canadian Grand Prix to be a straight fight between himself and Lewis Hamilton.

The German finished 0.079 seconds ahead of his Mercedes teammate in Montreal to take pole position earlier today.

"I expect that it's going to be between the two of us for now," Rosberg told BBC Sport following his qualifying victory. "Of course there can be surprises so we will still have to make sure that we push, but I think we have enough of a gap on race pace.

"I have a good result behind my back, I've come here having won the last race which always helps. Lewis obviously had that winning streak and to bring that to an end was important."

Sebastian Vettel finished in third place, while Williams' duo Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa completed the top five in Canada.
